STRUCTURE:BODY
REAR DOOR(S) WILL NOT OPEN FROM EITHER THE OUTSIDE HANDLE OR THE INSIDE. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT RELATED TO THE POSITION OF THE CHILD LOCK PROTECTION ON THE DOORS. IT APPEARS SPORADICALLY AT FIRST UNTIL, FINALLY, NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO OPEN THE DOOR(S). THIS IS A EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD IF SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN A HURRY (I.E. FIRE, ACCIDENT, ETC.) ONE WOULD HAVE TO CRAWL OVER THE FRONT SEATS TO GET OUT IN THIS SITUATION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM/COMPLAINT AMONG BUICK LUCERNE OWNERS (VIA THE INTERNET) AND WITH VARIOUS MODEL YEARS.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM WRITING A COMPLAINT TO INFORM YOU ABOUT MY 2006 BUICK LUCERNE, VIN NUMBER [XXX]. IT HAS A DEFECT. THE CAR HAS BEEN ACCELERATING AT VARIOUS TIMES. ALSO, THE CAR HAS TURNED OFF TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE PARKING LOT AT MY JOB AND THE SECOND TIME WAS ON MAY 24, 2017 AS I WAS JUST STARTING TO PASS THE BLINKING LIGHTS. I REALLY FEEL THAT THE CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE TO BE DRIVEN AFTER THE RECALL IN 2015. I HONESTLY WOULD LIKE THE PROBLEM FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND I WOULD PREFER TO HAVE THE VALUE OF THE CAR INSTEAD OF THE CAR BEING REPAIRED. THE CAR WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED AFTER THE RECALL AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THIS CAR CANNOT BE REPAIRED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY ALTENATOR STOPPED WORKING AND AFTER IT WAS REPLACED MY FUSE BOX WOULD NOT READ NOR WOULD MY CAR CRANK. SO I HAD IT TOWED TO A BUICK DEALERSHIP WHERE I THOUGHT ALL OF MY PROBLEMS WOULD BE SOLVED. THEY REPLACE MY FUSE BOX WITH A USED ONE BECAUSE THE BOX HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED THIS WAS IN APRIL 2017 IT IS NOW MAY 2017 AND I'VE HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TES RAN ON IT BECAUSE MY FANS STOPPED WORKING CAUSING MY NOTHSTAR MOTOR TO OVERHEAT. THE DIAGNOSTIC DETERMINED THAT FUSE BOX IS WHAT'S CAUSING ALL OF MY PROBLEMS. EVERY CODE LED STRAIGHT TO THAT SAME FUSE BOX. MY VEHICHEL WAS ON AND STATIONARY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING CONNECTOR CRACKED AND ALL OF MY FLUIDS STARTED TO LEAK OUT FROM A RESULT OF OVERHEATING AND THE CONNECTORS BEING MADE OF PLASTIC AND BASICALLY WEARING FROM THE HEAT.

THE LAST TIME IT SHUT OFF, WAS APRIL 11, 2017 5:00 PM CENTRAL STANDARD TIME ON A BUSY CITY STREET. MY WIFE IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO STEER THIS CAR WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN.
