Electrical relay/fuse box in the back under the driver's side passenger seat. We thought at first it was the battery. We replaced the battery the connections. The car sometimes starts sometimes doesn't. We've messed with the relays pulling them out and back in and it trys to turn over clicks and doesn't but has full power to the car there is also signs of extreme heat maybe fire from the battery to the metal frame of the back seat insert.
Our fuze box is located under rear seat. The relay fuze for the fuel pump melted so bad it was hot and could of caused fire. Am hearing alot of people sayung they have same issue.
The fuel pump relay keeps getting hot and burning, causing the car to not start or loosing power while driving. Lost power going up a hill and around curve with no place to pull over. Could have been hit when car died in blind spot in road. Looked it up and other people on line are saying it is the seat clips hitting fuse box causing short circuit in fuse box and damaging fuse box. People said they thought it was fuel pump but still had same problem after replacing fuel pump. A lot of upset people on line saying there should have already been recall on this problem. Have had 2 mechanics look at it. Have bought 3 relays. Afraid to drive car if it will start, fear of loosing power in middle of road and getting killed. Not to mention could cause fire since fuse box and battery are under back seat. . Genius engineer, I'll tell you! don't know if I can ever completely trust this Buick again. Never had anything like this happen to any car I've ever owned. Something needs to be done. Recall recall recall !!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
The front engine mount has broken and been replaced two times in under 100k miles. Loud clunk is present on take off, shaking and vibration when accelerating is present too. The first time was just outside of warranty at 60k miles.
My battery is located under the back seat and caught flames yesterday with my small children in the back. I dont understand why u would put a battery under a passenger seat where people sit on top of with fabric.
The car shut down and will turn over but won't start again the relay for the fuel pump is melted and there is no voltage going to the fuel pump fuse in the fuel box under the back seat of the vehicle this should be a recall due to a fire could start or the vehicle could shut down at any moment and causing a accident and or death.
The car was garaged and hardly driven by the previous owner, and the current mileage is about 43,000. Since the beginning of my ownership the check engine light comes and goes randomly. The car also says on the digital readout "service air bag," pretty much all the time. I have had three different mechanics scan for the error codes and they could find nothing for them to recommend a next step. While I was in white plains, NY, I got a notice for an air bag service recall from the dealer. All they did was to put an insert onto my ignition key after a two hour wait. When I asked what this had to do with the check air bag light, they said, "if you drive with a heavily loaded key chain the pulls down, the service air bag/check engine lights erroneously come on. " it was the most stupid thing I have ever heard, and I can't believe the nhta would have allowed this sham to pass as a recall. Having read the bulletin board of complaints I see a number of complaints about air bags not deploying after an accident. You need to put out a recall---a real recall--on this vehicle for the air bag. Please feel free to contact me.
With only 85 miles left on my warranty for my 2008 Buick Lucerne the driver's side door handle fell off. My husband was able to temporarily push it back on. We immediately drove to the dealership. They replaced the door handle under the warranty. The bill would have been $94 otherwise. No way should a door handle fall off a vehicle which is still barely new.
