THE FUEL PUMP RELAY OVERHEATED AND MELTED IN THE FUSE BOX. I SMELLED THE BURNING IN THE CAR. I HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP, RELAY AND FUSE BOX REPLACED. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE FUSE BOX COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE AND HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN, LET ALONE IN A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. HE TOLD ME TO GOOGLE THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR BECAUSE HUNDREDS OF OTHER CAR OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SURE ENOUGH I DID JUST THAT AND I SAW HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS MODEL CAR. GM NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. ARE THEY WAITING UNTIL SOMEBODY DIES FIRST BEFORE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OF THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND THE FUSE BOX?

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY, I WAS TAKING MY CAR TO BE SMOGGED. AT SPEED, I NOTICED A LITTLE WHITE PUFF OF SMOKE EMIT FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE BAY. AS I PROCEEDED TO START MOVING TO THE SHOULDER, THIS PUFF HAD TURNED INTO A GRAY PLUME. AS I FINALLY REACHED THE SHOULDER, THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE ENGINE BAY WAS BILLOWING BLACK SMOKE. AS I TRIED TO STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, SO IT SEEMED THE FIRE HAD BURNT THROUGH A BRAKE LINE. I MANAGED TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SLOWLY AND MANAGED TO STOP ON THE SHOULDER. OPENING THE HOOD, I FOUND A SMALL FIRE BURNING AT THE REAR OF THE ENGINE, BUT IN FRONT OF THE FIREWALL. I HAD NOTHING WITH ME, SO I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND IT WAS EXTINGUISHED. HOWEVER, BY THE TIME THEY GOT THERE, THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS TOTALED BEYOND EXTENSIVE REPAIR.

CAME OUT FROM WORK AND CAR WOULD NOT START BUT WOULD TRY TO TURN OVER. GOT CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC SHOP TO GET FIXED. THEY FOUND THAT THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE BACK SEAT WAS MELTED. THEY STATED THAT THIS HAS BEEN COMMON IN BUICK LUCERNE MODELS BUT THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NO RECALL WHEN MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

BLOW OUT OF TIRE ON INTERSTATE 90 IN MADISON AT 70 MPH. SIDEWALL OF TIRE DISINTEGRATED. NEARLY LOST CONTROL. TIRE WAS A GENERAL ALTIMAX HP, SIZE 255/60-17 ON A 2004 BUICK RENIER.. TIRE HAD APPROXIMATELY 30000 MILES. AND HAD BEEN ROTATED AND BALANCED.

MY LIGHTS ARE ON THE DASHBOARD AND IT'S SAYING ANIT-LOCK BRAKES AND TRAC-OFF. THERE'S A NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN.

I'VE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. SPENT OVER $4000 IN REPAIRS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WAS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT AND TRACTION SYSTEM LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST DECELERATE AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 15MPH. I HAD IT REPAIRED ONCE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS AND THEN 2 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN HAD IT REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS AND COMPUTER THAT NEEDED REPLACED. AND NOW I'M HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE BUT THIS TIME THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS FLASHING BUT THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE AND TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS TO EVEN GET UP TO 35 MPH. I HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A WIRING/FUSE ISSUE AND THAT THE CAR WAS ONLY RUNNING ON 3 CYLINDERS AND LITERALLY 2 DAYS AFTER THE REPAIR IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. MY MECHANIC EVEN TOLD ME I SHOULD JUST GET RID OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT OBVIOUSLY HAS MAJOR WIRING ISSUES. IT ONLY HAS 130,000 MILES.
