While driving home after purchasing the car, the onstar system kept stating that we were off course (it didn't recognize where the car was). Onstar attempted to repair it remotely, which didn't work. Took car to a gm repair facility (dealer) who attempted a repair. After that, onstar would occasionally dial a number by itself using the built in cell phone without my initiating the call, and also would hang up by itself while I was talking to an onstar representative. The gm repair facility (dealer) said there was no problem, but onstar verified that they called the dealer and advised them that there was a problem. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 buick lucerne. The contact stated that the parking assist would only alert him when the vehicle was within four and a half feet of an object. The owner's manual specified that the parking assist should alert the driver when the vehicle was within eight feet of an object. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and the dealer compared the vehicle with another one, and received the same results. The dealer advised the contact that the vehicle was functioning properly. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and informed the contact of the same information. The failure mileage was 200.

I own a 2007 buick lucerne. Since I retired the car would sit in the garage for a few days whereupon it would go dead. I called onstar and had the car jump started but it kept happening. So the dealer finally took it in and tested the draw. They found a defective onstar module and another module connected to the door and lights that were bad. It has been fixed and so far so good until today when I was driving down the road and it just stopped dead. So I do not know the outcome of this failure yet. The only problem being it is now 2,000 miles out of warranty. *Tr

On 4 separate occasions my '06 buick lucerne (3.8 L)went into uncontrolable excelleration. On long road trips, with the cruise control engaged and doing approximately 70 mph, when I excelleratedhard, instead of returning to the cruise speed it seemed to lock into a passing gear. Braking didn't stop it, putting it into did not slow the engine revs., However turning off the key and restarting after coasting a little while worked once or twice to stop the revs.. The other times I hit the brakes really hard and it...

I have an 08 buick lucerne cxl under warranty. At times the instrument panel lights are so dim you cannot read the panel when the sun shines on them a bit. I took it to dealer and they replaced panel light. No help. They said buick will not help them. Took it back and explained problem and they said yes, you and a thousand others. I contacted buick division and they file my email and give me a long number. Dealer agrees it is a safety problem. When driving in mountains I want to know my speed, gear I'm in etc. It don't happen all the time so I am sure there is a simple fix. A switch or computer or something similiar. Thankyou. *Tr

When driving in the rain my buick lucerne's exterior driver-side rear view mirror is useless due to the wash of water streaming across the driver's side window. It is impossible to see traffic in the left lane and in order to change lanes I must rely on the interior rear view mirror. This loss of visibility occurs whether or not there is a wind condition, but it is most dangerous on the highway at highway speeds with windshield wipers pushing water toward the driver side window. I have had a couple of near misses during daylight driving conditions. *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.

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...

The xm radio gps panel can not be dimmed at night this is a serious safety problem and can't believe it cant be fixed. *Tr

I purchased a new 2008 buick lucerne and unable to read instrument panel gauges especially speed, gas, etc during daylight periods with bright sun and/or hazy when auto running lights are on. Driver is unable to observe the auto's speed, amount of fuel and other instruments on panel. This is caused by the instrument panel being install to far back into the console , therefore in deep shadow . Also there is no back lighting when the auto running lights are on. This iis a major safety day time concern as driver is unable to proper judge his speed as well as being able to observe other instrument panel monitors. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 buick lucerne. While driving between 20-50 mph, the vehicle pulled to the right. The vehicle was repaired by the dealer five times, which included an alignment, the tires and rims were changed, and a power steering part was replaced. Yet, the failure still occurred. The failure mileage was 25 and current mileage was 24,000. Updated 02-15-08. *Kb the dealer stated installed xm sat radio. Updated 02/15/08 *tr

Bought the car "new" on 7/4/07. On 7/8/07 the transmission would not downshift into first gear. Took the car to a buick dealer where they fixed a defective part. Drove the car home that night and the problem started again. Brought the car to another dealer and they diagnosed the same problem. The car is still in the shop today. I've owned the car for 11 days and it's been in the shop 8 days and counting. *Tr

2006 Buick lucerne with a list of concerns /problems**cc on the day of purchase the consumer's noticed wind noise from both front doors and scratches on the windshield. The dealer attempted to buff out the scratches but was unsuccessful. Gm approved a windshield replacement. While driving the automatic driver's seat started moving up on it's own. The seat would not stop until it was as far forward as it could go. The cd player/radio refused to eject a cd, but after two days it finally released. The radio...
