Alternator/generator/regulator Problems of Buick Lucerne

Car drains my battery and it messed up my alternator. I replaced both and once again my battery keeps being drained. I took it to the shop and the mechanic ran a diagnostic test and about 10 codes popped up saying electrical problem. Other models of this Buick has been recalled for the same electrical problem. Il drive my car and it will completely cut off on me and the check engine light comes on. Il find my paper work from the mechanic if needed. This has been happening for months now. It didnt happen just once. So I cant drive the car until its fixed.

I purchased my '07 Buick Lucerne cxl about a year ago ago an I actually love the car however; about 3 or so months ago I noticed a what I am suspecting is the transmission or possibly a censor or relay issue causing the car to make a hesitation and drag when I try to keep a consistent speed and only quits when I press or depress the gas pedal making the car either accelerate or decrease in speed drastically. Also, about a month ago I noticed the headlights and dash lights get brighter and then dimmer in a flashing manner at no certain interval; now the "service battery charging system" dic message along with the red battery dash light comes on and goes off also at no specific time or interval ( at which time my heater/seat warmers/radio/etc shut off ). I am able to force the dic message and battery dash light to go away upon my revving the engine or accelerating drastically. I have had both the battery and the alternator checked and both are in good working order so now, after some online research, I will check the fuses and relay switches more intensely. I pray I am able to find a solution as I really do love my car. Also, last week my transponder key quit working in the ignition and had to use the fob remote start to start the engine, thankfully upon checking the fuses under the back seat ( I guess from removing and replacing them ), the key and console ignition did start operating normally again. And I checked my VIN # on this site and it is returning clear to having no current recalls. I am however worried of some of the stories I have read regarding malfunction, I fear I may be facing a future alike incident so if anyone has any solutions I am all ears. Thank you. . .

I bought a 2007 Buick Lucerne from chuck hutton in memphis,TN. I have had problem after problem. First it was the driver seat that wouldn't move back,then the alternator and battery. Next was the motor engine running hot. Now it's the transmission it was running fine. Now it won't run in drive only gears 2&3. I saw that there was a recall on this in 2009 I don't know if it was fixed then or not because I don't know the original owner. If you drive the car it will run and cutoff in the middle of the street. (very dangerous) . Then it will run for a mile or to and do the samething now it's parked . I'm not trying to get hurt or killed in this contraption. I'm already disable I'm not trying to kill myself or get killed in this car. They are dangerous. All need to be recalled they are not top of the line Buicks they are a disaster waiting to happen.

The Buick Lucerne 2011 we own had the battery explode upon turning the key. I am wife/caregiver to 100% disabled veteran and his service dog. Normally I would have put them both in the car before turning the key but luckily on this day I did not or we all would have been killed. The car was in the driveway when this happened. We immediately had car towed to mechanic after the acid and smoke in car had cleared. It was deemed that battery exploded as it is under the rear seat and we could not see it until the seat was out. A new battery was put in but the residual acid burning and melting seat had me take it back for further repair. The insurance company finally conceded to replace the 2nd battery and put new foam in back seat as the 1st new one was already corroding after 2 weeks. It was told to me that the insurance company was going to total the car as it is a life threatening fire hazard but they changed their mind and had us pay about $1000 out of pocket for new alternator as they claim it was the cause of the explosion. We were told it would happen again or cause a fire as the entire wiring under the seats from the alternator is defective. It is terrifying to be in this (our only vechicle for transport to va hospital treatments) car daily. We wait another explosion or fire any minute. The dealership refused to examine the car for safety as they must be equally afraid or unable to assure it is safe. Please advise others of this life threatening fire hazard before someone gets killed. I pray it wont be us, or cause an accident to harm others. We still owe $$ on this car as we bought it used 2 years ago and the dealer will not assist in helping us get enough to pay the loan but gladly took many thousands over value from us. Please make this public to save lives.
