2007 BUICK LUCERNE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY BUICK LUCERNE AND WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 80 MPH WHEN I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME I WAS GOING 70 MPH AS PER GM THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BUICK LUCERNE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE, THE JACK THAT WAS SUPPORTING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BENT AND SPLIT INTO PIECES. THE VEHICLE SLAMMED DOWN TO THE GROUND. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 11,500.

DASH CLUSTER DISPLAY IS UNREADABLE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS DEPRIVING THE DRIVER OF CRITICAL INFORMATION WHICH COULD PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD, VIZ., SPEED, ENGINE TEMPERATURE, OIL PRESSURE, ETC. I NOTIFIED DEALER OF THIS PROBLEM A FEW TIMES AND THEY REPLACED THE CLUSTER; HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT WAS NO IMPROVEMENT. THE DASH IS STILL ILLEGIBLE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. I HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH THE DEALER ON THIS DEFECT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

BOUGHT CAR 6/2/08 WITH 6000 MILES ON ODOMETER. IMMEDIATELY NOTICED EXTREME VIBRATION THROUGHOUT VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ALSO IN PARK AT 1500 RPMS. DEALER IN CONSORT WITH GM ATTEMPTED TO FIX; COULD NOT DO IT. DEALER ALLEGES "VEHICLE WORKING AS DESIGNED". APPARENTLY DESIGNED TO VIBRATE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE PROBLEM IS IN THE ENGINE - NOT IN SUSPENSION OR TIRES, ETC. WITH VIBRATION COMES INORDINATE WEAR AND POSSIBLE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES. ADDITIONALLY, THE FRONT SAFETY BELTS ARE DEFECTIVE IN THAT THEY DO NOT LOCK UP AND RESTRAIN THE UPPER TORSO AS DESIGNED. DEALER HAS REPLACED BOTH BELTS; HOWEVER, THEY STILL DO NOT WORK AS DESIGNED AND REQUIRED POSING A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEATS. THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN INCIDENT AS YET; HOWEVER, THE POSSIBILITY OF ONE IS RATHER OBVIOUS AND GM THUS FAR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE SAFELY AND SATISFACTORILY. *TR
