SUSPENSION:FRONT
DRIVING HOME AFTER ACCEPTING DELIVERY OF MY VEHICLE I NOTICED A FRONT END VIBRATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL LUCERNES DO THIS AND THAT I SHOULD DRIVE IT 500 MILES BEFORE RETURNING. I INSISTED THAT THEY FIX IT AND WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME IT NO LONGER VIBRATED. THE PAPER WORK REVEALED THAT THEY HAD PERFORMED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND REFERRED TO SERVICE BULLETIN NR. 000310007G. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, STRUCTURE
YOU CAN NOT READ THE DASH BOARD INSTRUMENTS IN THE DAY TIME. YOU CAN NOT SEE HOW FAST YOUR GOING, HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE OR IF YOU ARE OVER HEATING. WHICH MAKES FOR UNSAFE DRIVING. AT NIGHT THE DASH BOARD INSTRUMENTS ARE WELL LIT AND YOU CAN READ EVERY THING. I'VE REPORTED THIS TO THE BUICK DEALER WITH NO RESULTS. THIS DEFECT IS ON MY NEW 2006 BUICK LUCERNE LXS. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
FAILURE INFO UNKNOWN. THE PANEL INSTRUMENTS ARE NOT VISIBLE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS WHILE THE HEADLAMP SWITCH IS IN THE "AUTO" POSITION. IN "PARK" AND "HEADLIGHT" POSITION THE PANEL LAMPS ARE ON. A VERY SIMPLE WIRING CHANGE CAN CORRECT THIS AND MAKE THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGES VISIBLE. *JB

INTERIOR LIGHTING
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE IT WAS DISCOVERED THE DASH PANEL GAUGES SUCH AS THE TACHOMETER AND THE SPEEDOMETER WERE POORLY LIGHTED AND MADE VISIBILITY LIMITED. THE VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A DEALER. CONTRARY TO THE MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN, THE DEALER REWIRED THE DASH PANEL LIGHTING AND BYPASSED THE DASH DIMMER SWITCH SO THE LIGHTING ILLUMINATED AT THE BRIGHTEST POSSIBLE LEVEL. AS A RESULT, THE DASH PANEL LIGHTS COULD NOT BE DIMMED. UPDATED 03/09/06
