2010 Buick Lucerne

I WAS DRIVING EAST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 20 APPROXIMATELY 7 MILES WEST OF SWEETWATER TEXAS ON JULY 11, 2014, WHEN I WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE (THAT LEFT THE SCENE.) THE JARRING CAUSED ME TO LOSE POWER SO I WAS UNABLE TO STEER OR TO BRAKE, WHICH SENT MY CAR CRASHING INTO A GUARDRAIL; FURTHERMORE, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. I WAS UNINJURED, BUT I HAVE CHECKED THE GM WEBSITE AND TO DATE, THAT CAR (WHICH WAS TOTALED) HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED ON THEIR LIST OF RECALLED VEHICLES, THOUGH IT CLEARLY HAD THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT ALL THE RECALLED GM VEHICLES HAVE WITH THE LOSS OF POWER. I HAD NOT BEEN DIRECTED TO REMOVE ANYTHING FROM MY KEY RING, BUT ALL THAT I HAD ON IT WAS THE KEY FOB. CLEARLY, THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I WAS UNINJURED, BUT ONLY BECAUSE THE CAR'S CHASSIS HELD UP WELL AND I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON. ALSO, I HAVE MANY PICTURES TO DEMONSTRATE THE LACK OF AIR BAGS. *TR

DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM EITHER OUTSIDE OR INSIDE AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES OF LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. DEALER THINKS IT'S THE ACTUATER.IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WHEN I TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR FORCING ME TO CRAWL THRU THE PASSENGER SIDE. BEING 85 YRS. OLD THIS WAS NO EASY THING TO DO !!! IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT DAMAGING THE PASSENGER SIDE IWOULD BE TRAPPED.I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

ENGINE MOUNT HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, THE FIRST IS LISTED ABOVE, THE SECOND TIME IS SEPT, 24, 2012 AND THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 31,000. THIS IS UNUSUAL AND MAKE ME WONDER IF THE PART IS DEFLECTIVE. A VEHICLE LESS THAN THREE YEAR OLD HAS TWO ENGINE MOUNTS REPLACE. THIS TO ME IS A SAFETY ISSUE, WHAT IF MORE THAN ONE BREAKS OR ALL OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS BREAK THEN THE ENGINE WILL FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHICH IS UNSAFE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE TO SEE THAT THIS IS NOT A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2010 BUICK LUCERNE. *TR

BRAKING SYSTEM CAME ON DURING DRY CONDITIONS WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES WITHIN THE SAME MONTH. CAR VEERED TO THE RIGHT TWICE AND THE NEXT TIME THE FRONT OF THE CAR NOSE-DIVED. SUSPECT THAT THE STABILITY CONTROL IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. NO CODES SHOW UP UNDER DIAGNOSTICS AT THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP CANNOT DO ANYTHING ELSE AT THIS TIME. AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE CONDITIONS. *TR

2010 BUICK LUCERNE. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE ACCELERATING RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAPPENED WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON AND OFF. THE CONSUMER STATED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 15 TIMES; ONCE WHILE PULLING INTO HIS GARAGE, SEVERAL TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE AND SEVERAL TIMES IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC. THE DEALER STATED THE FLOOR MAT BECAME TRAPPED UNDER THE ACCELERATOR. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER DISAGREED WITH THAT THEORY. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LUCERNE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH HE ADJUSTED THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE SEAT WENT BACK DOWN TO THE FLOOR. HE STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SEAT WILL NOT STAY WHERE IT WAS SET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON FIVE OCCASIONS AND THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HE STATED THAT A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HIM TO PURCHASE A PILLOW TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AND THEY WOULD PAY FOR IT. THE FAILURE HAD BEEN ON GOING SINCE SEPTEMBER 2010 WHEN HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LUCERNE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE CONTACT BEGAN TO DRIVE UPHILL. WHILE DRIVING UP THE HILL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BEYOND THE SPEED AT WHICH THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET. UPON REACHING THE TOP OF THE HILL, THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE DROPPED BACK DOWN TO THE INTENDED SPEED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON 3 OCCASIONS WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,100 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,100.
