I STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE "LOW ENGINE POWER LIGHT" CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. I PRESSED THE PEDAL DOWN AND HAD TO PRESS THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR TO GO 5 MPH. I HAD TO DRIVE ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND KEEP PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL UP AND DOWN TO KEEP THE CAR GOING. AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND FLOOR IT TO RACE THE ENGINE IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO MOVE. IT IS HAZARD DRIVING ON A FREE WAY AT 5 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO TIRE DISCOUNTERS BECAUSE THEY WERE THE ONLY ONE OPEN ON CHRISTMAS EVE AS MARK SWEENEY GMC/BUICK WAS NOT OPEN AND NORMALLY TAKE MY CAR TO BROCHERDING GMC/BUICK. THE SERVICE PERSON AT TIRE DISCOUNTERS DISCOVERED IT WAS THE THROTTLE SWITCH WHICH WAS BAD. I ENDED UP BEING ABLE TO GET A RENTAL CAR WHILE MY CAR WS BEING REPAIRED. I PICKED UP MY CAR ON DECEMBER 29, 2014 TO FIND THAT ANOTHER PERSON HAD BROUGHT THEIR 2006 OR 07 BUICK IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AT TIRE DISCOUNTER. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER AMERICAN MADE CAR AGAIN. THIS BUICK LUCERNE IS THE DEMON CAR AND I HAVE SPENT OVER 10K IN REPAIRS THE PAST 3 YEARS TO KEEP IT RUNNING. *JS

I AM WRITING IN REGARDS TO THE GM RECALL #14299. IGNITION ISSUE. WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM BUICK/GM THE END OF SEPTEMBER. I CALLED THE LOCAL BUICK GMC DEALER TO SET UP AN APPT TO GET IT FIXED, AND SHE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO CALL BACK IN 2-3 WEEKS BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE BACKORDERED. LAST WEEK ON THE NATIONAL NEWS GM WAS COMPLAINING BECAUSE PEOPLE WEREN'T GETTING THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF AND THEY WANTED TO OFFER GIFT CARDS. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AGAIN AND NOW THE PARTS ARE IN BUT THEY ARE BOOKED UNTIL DECEMBER 15 OF THIS YEAR BECAUSE NOW EVERYONE WANTS TO GET THEIR VEHICLES FIXED. SO I HAVE TO GO A LITTLE OVER ANOTHER MONTH BEFORE I CAN GET THIS FIXED? NOT REAL HAPPY ABOUT HOW THIS WAS HANDLED. IF THERE'S A RECALL, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE THE PARTS IN STOCK BEFORE A LETTER IS SENT OUT TELLING UP TO GET OUR VEHICLE FIXED RIGHT AWAY. *TR
