ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When I am driving my vehicle will just stall. If I do not let my car run for at least 5-10 minutes before I go anywhere it will stall out on me not long after. It has stalled on the highway, even a few times with my 6 year old in the vehicle. After it stalls out a lot of times I have to park it, turn it off, open my door/shut it, then wait for the inside light go out before I try to start it back up. It does start back up after I let the light go out but not everytime. I have sat there for 30 minutes to an hour more than 3 times. Now i do not have control of any of the master controls for the windows or locks. I have to lock my door manually now. I was told that it could be from my ignition switch which I know there was a recall on before. I would like another recall for this issue and for it to be fixed before something not so good happens.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The trunk allows water to enter each time it rains. This causes water to collect in the spare tire department in the trunk. After it rains, trunk must be vacuumed out in order to retrieve water out of trunk. Unfortunately, this has caused my trunk liner to mold completely, as well as to begin molding under my back seat. My daughter and I have a mold allergy which has been affected by the mold in the car which is impossible to get rid of due to the location it has grown.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED MY '07 BUICK LUCERNE CXL ABOUT A YEAR AGO AGO AN I ACTUALLY LOVE THE CAR HOWEVER; ABOUT 3 OR SO MONTHS AGO I NOTICED A WHAT I AM SUSPECTING IS THE TRANSMISSION OR POSSIBLY A CENSOR OR RELAY ISSUE CAUSING THE CAR TO MAKE A HESITATION AND DRAG WHEN I TRY TO KEEP A CONSISTENT SPEED AND ONLY QUITS WHEN I PRESS OR DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL MAKING THE CAR EITHER ACCELERATE OR DECREASE IN SPEED DRASTICALLY. ALSO, ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS GET BRIGHTER AND THEN DIMMER IN A FLASHING MANNER AT NO CERTAIN INTERVAL; NOW THE "SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM" DIC MESSAGE ALONG WITH THE RED BATTERY DASH LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF ALSO AT NO SPECIFIC TIME OR INTERVAL ( AT WHICH TIME MY HEATER/SEAT WARMERS/RADIO/ETC SHUT OFF ). I AM ABLE TO FORCE THE DIC MESSAGE AND BATTERY DASH LIGHT TO GO AWAY UPON MY REVVING THE ENGINE OR ACCELERATING DRASTICALLY. I HAVE HAD BOTH THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR CHECKED AND BOTH ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER SO NOW, AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I WILL CHECK THE FUSES AND RELAY SWITCHES MORE INTENSELY. I PRAY I AM ABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION AS I REALLY DO LOVE MY CAR. ALSO, LAST WEEK MY TRANSPONDER KEY QUIT WORKING IN THE IGNITION AND HAD TO USE THE FOB REMOTE START TO START THE ENGINE, THANKFULLY UPON CHECKING THE FUSES UNDER THE BACK SEAT ( I GUESS FROM REMOVING AND REPLACING THEM ), THE KEY AND CONSOLE IGNITION DID START OPERATING NORMALLY AGAIN. AND I CHECKED MY VIN # ON THIS SITE AND IT IS RETURNING CLEAR TO HAVING NO CURRENT RECALLS. I AM HOWEVER WORRIED OF SOME OF THE STORIES I HAVE READ REGARDING MALFUNCTION, I FEAR I MAY BE FACING A FUTURE ALIKE INCIDENT SO IF ANYONE HAS ANY SOLUTIONS I AM ALL EARS. THANK YOU...

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 1 MIKE FROM MY HOUSE. THE ROAD IS A COUNTRY ROAD AND IS STRAIGHT. I WASN'T DISTRACTED OR SPEEDING. IT HAPPENED SO FAST BUT I THINK I MAY HAVE HIT A SLIGHT BUMP ON THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND THEN THE CAR STARTED FISH TAILING AND THEN WENT OFF THE ROAD AND WAS STOPPED WHEN IT HIT A DIRT DRIVEWAY. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TOTALED WITH ONLY 36000 MILES ON IT EVEN THOUGH I LUCKILY JUST SIDESWIPED A TREE. THE CAR ALWAYS SEEMED HARD TO STEER AS IF THE STEERING WAS LOOSE AND YOU REALLY HAD TO PAY ATTENTION AND KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR WAS MY ELDERLY IN-LAWS WHO BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 2007. THEY BOTH PASSED AWAY IN NOVEMBER 2018 AND THEN I INHERITED IT AND HAD JUST RECENTLY STARTED DRIVING IT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE IT'S JUST SITTING. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING SIGN AS TO WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. IT'S STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE ENGINE JUST QUITS. SOMETIMES IT WILL RESTART AFTER A SHORT WHILE, AND AT OTHER TIMES IT'S HAD TO BE TOWED. WE'VE HAD IT TO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. CAN'T DRIVE OR SELL IT IN THIS CONDITION. THE SAME PROBLEMS OCCURRED WHEN MY FATHER OWNED THE CAR. HE TOOK IT IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIR ALSO, AND AGAIN, NOTHING SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

THIS CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AS YOU LOSE YOUR POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED! I TOOK IT TO MECHANIC FIRST TIME HE TIGHTENED A BATTERY WIRE. IT DID START BACK UP BUT DIED GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND TOWED IT BACK. HE THEN TIGHTENED WIRE ON IGNITION MODULE. IT STARTED AND RAN A FEW DAYS AND DID IT AGAIN. IT NOW DID IT A THIRD TIME. IT THROWS NO CODES ON THE CAR SO IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. TH
