CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING IT. LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A FAULTY IGNITION MODULE. I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED. GIVEN THE COMPANY RECALLS ON IGNITION PARTS ON OTHER NAME PLATES, IT IS LIKELY THAT THE BUICK'S ARE ALSO SEEING IGNITION PROBLEMS AND FAILURES BUT GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS CAR PLATFORM. I HOPE THAT NO ONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE THIS DEFECTIVE PART IS RECALLED. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY. UPDATED 10/16/14 *JB

REPORTED THIS TO DEALER ON 7/2/13 AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS INSIDE DOOR LOCK ASSY AT 58.97$, AND 410$ PLUS TAX TO REPAIR. WENT HOME BANGED ON IN SIDE OF DOOR AND WAS ABLE TO OPEN UNTIL THIS WEEK WHEN PROBLEM RECURRED AND NO AMOUNT OF BANGING WOULD OPEN DOOR. WENT ON GOOGLE AND NOTED THIS TO BE PREVALENT WITH MANY OWNERS. THIS CAN BE FATAL IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE PASSENGER CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR A FATALITY BEFORE THE GM ACKNOWLEDGES EITHER A FAULTY DESIGN OR FAULTY PART,AND REPAIR WITHOUT CUSTOMER COST. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LUCERNE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY 2006 BUICK LUCERNE ENGINES STOPS RANDOMLY. AS I AM TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD THE ENGINE SUDDENLY CUT OFF AND THERE IS A LOSS OF ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BLACKS OUT AND WHEN IT STOPS YOU CAN NOT CRANK IT. AFTER WAITING DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF TIME YOU CAN CRANK IT UP AND CONTINUES UNTIL THE NEXT MYSTERIOUS OUTAGE . THIS IS MY WIFE CAR AND I DO NOT ALLOW HER TO DRIVE IT. I DO NOT TAKE IT ON ANY WINDING ROADS. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED AND WAS TOLD IF THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN NO CODES WILL BE SET TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CARRIED IT TO THREE OTHER SHOPS TO NO AVAIL. ONE MECHANICAL WAS DRIVING IT AROUND TOWN AND IT HAPPEN ON A ROUNDABOUT. HE SAID HE HAD TO STRUGGLE WITH ALL HIS MIGHT TO GET THOUGH IT BEFORE HE COULD STOP. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND HOPEFULLY NOTHING DREADFUL WILL HAPPEN, LIKE GM CARES. *TR
