2009 Buick Lucerne

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 BUICK LUCERNE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WOULD SHUT OFF AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THE CONTACT MADE APPROXIMATELY THREE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (TODD WENZEL BUICK GMC IN WESTLAND, MICHIGAN, 734-721-1144) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE BOX HAD A SHORT, WHICH WAS SENDING THE WRONG SIGNAL TO THE FUEL RELAY DELIVERY PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED AROUND JUNE OF 2016. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

CAR WAS FINE 1 DAY NEXT DAY WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED MECHANIC REPLACED FUEL PUMP AND RELAY. NEXT DAY I'M DRIVING GOING DOWN HILL AND IT LOOSES ALL POWER AND WON'T START. HAD IT TOWED AGAIN. MECHANIC REPLACED RELAY. PICKED CAR UP AND DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS AND RELAY BURNED OUT IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. WALKED TO PARTS STORE AND BOUGHT RELAY. REPLACED AND DROVE HOME. NEXT DAY GOING TO WORK AND RELAY BURNS OUT AGAIN. IT IS SUPER HOT AND MELTS PLASTIC AROUND THE HOLE IN FUSE BOX WHERE THE PRONG GOES IN. HAVE REPLACED IT SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND I AM NOW TAKING IT BACK TO MECHANIC BEFORE IT CATCHES ON FIRE OR GETS ME KILLED DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE BUICK LUCERNE. I ONCE TRUSTED THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. STRANDED EVERY TIME I LEAVE THE HOUSE.

I HAD JUST DRIVEN THE CAR ON A 2 HOUR TRIP WITH NO ISSUE. I DROVE THAT TRIP IN THE MORNING AND THAT AFTERNOON I WENT TO START THE CAR AND THE STARTER WAS GOING BUT THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START. I LIFTED THE BACK SEAT TO FIND AN AWFUL SMELL COMING FROM THE FUSE BOX. I PULLED THE FUEL PUMP FUSE TO FIND IT SINGED. THE VEHICLE WILL BE NEEDING A NEW FUSE BOX AND I'M STILL WAITING TO FIND THE PART.

I OWN A 2009 BUICK LUCERNE THAT I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE ON RANDOM OCCASSIONS. ON ANOTHER OCCASION THE VEHICLE STALLED ON HIGHWAY 49 IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT FAILS TO START, SOME RELAYS ARE HOT EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF, FUEL RELAY HAS BEEN REPLACE 4 TIMES AND IT GETS EXTRA HOT AND WILL ALMOST BURN YOUR HAND, THE FUSE BOX IS MELTED PARTLY AND HAS A BURNING SMELL. THE FUEL PUMP VOLTAGE WAS CHECKED AND IS GOOD. ON THE LAST TRY TO CRACK NOW THE DRIVER DOOR WINDO AND DOOR LOCK IS NOT WORKING. THERE IS NO CORRISON UNDER THE FUSE BOX. BUICK DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL OUT ON THE FUSE BOX OR RELAY. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED 25 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE A DISABLED DAUGHTER WHO IS TRANSPORTED IN MY CAR AND I WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. BUICK IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. THE BUCIK FORUM AND NHTSA WEBSITES BOTH HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. IT WILL TAKE ACCIDENTS, INJURY, OR DEATHS FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOVLED IT SEEMS. AS BUICK AND DEALERS CONTINUE TO SELL THESE CARS MANY PEOPLES LIVES ARE I JEOPARDY. I HAVE REVIEWED PAGES ON COMPLAINTS AND AGAIN BUICK IS AWARE OF THESE ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 BUICK LUCERNE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START AND VARIOUS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RIZZA CADILLAC BUICK GMC (8425 159TH ST, TINLEY PARK, IL 60487) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE BACK SEAT HAD SUFFERED A SHORT AND MELTED. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF A FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT CONTACTED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE FUSE BOX WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

FUEL PUMP RELAY BURNS OUT AND IS SO HOT TO THE TOUCH IT WILL BURN YOUR HAND. WAS FOUND WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START. HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW, A WEEK APART, AND ON THE SECOND OCCURRENCE THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED BY THE MECHANIC TO RULE OUT A POSSIBLE SHORT CAUSING THE ISSUE. THE RELAY IS STILL GETTING HOT SO MUCH SO THAT THE SEAT GETS HOT AND I FEAR IT WILL CATCH ON FIRE. THE MECHANIC IS GOING TO LOOK AT THE FUSE BLOCK TO SEE IF THERE IS CORROSION OR DAMAGED WIRING CAUSING THE ISSUE. THE RELAY WAS HOT WHEN THE CAR WAS RUNNING, AND JUST HADN'T COOLED BY THE TIME IT WAS FOUND. THIS SPEAKS FOR HOW HOT IT WAS GETTING AS IT BURNED THE MECHANIC WHEN IT HAD BEEN SITTING A FEW MINUTES. IT DOES COOL DOWN AFTER A WHILE SO IT IS NOT HEATING UP WHILE STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 BUICK LUCERNE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED A WEEK LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPAIRED THE SWITCH AGAIN. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO DAYS LATER AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THE DEALER NOTICED THAT THE FUSE BOX AND THE RELAY SWITCH WERE MELTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.
