The rear door locks on the 2006 Buick Lucerne have a fundamental design flaw. If the rear seat passenger pulls the door handle to open the door while the door is locked, and holds it in place when the power lock mechanism attempts to unlock the door, the mechanism binds internally making the door impossible to open. This has occurred 5 times on our Lucerne over the past 4 years. The only way to open the door is remove the inner door panel. Reach into the lock through the access holes and free up the mechanism. Until the door is repaired the backseat passenger sitting next to the frozen door cannot get out. I can't believe that the engineering team at gm has not discovered a fix for this condition. This is very disappointing and dangerous.

The right rear door is unable to be opened from either inside or outside. It remains that way since the dealer wants $320 to do the work. The left rear had the same problem but that was covered under warranty when the car was relatively new. This is a safety concern. Obviously there are a lot of people with the same problem. Why is this not covered by a recall? my wife's cousin had a Lucerne with the same issues. She got rid of hers. As soon as we can afford another car we will be doing the same thing. And I guarantee it won't be a gm!!!!.
