2006 Buick Lucerne

Defect. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Risk. If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), and 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet).

The airbag lights on and there is an electrical issue also that causes the car to smoke and nearly catch fire, as soon as the battery is reconnected. Therefore rendering it non drivable. It's the same problems that are associated with the 2006 Lucern,s. When i look up the year make and model it says there should be a recall but once you put in the vin it nothing comes up.The vehicle is readily available upon request but has not been inspected by anyone else.

I have 2006 buick lucerne.i paid over 800 dollars get brakes fixed.now they saying messed up again power steering messed up.the front passenger side where tire hits bump makes nise like strut.power steering fluid leaking brake fliud leaking.air bags.

My power steering went out so my mechanic checked it out and said my pump went out so I bought a new power steering pump and pulley had it put on and that didn't fix the problem. The next day I went out of town to visit family and my car caught on fire due to the power steering fluid leaked all out on the motor and got hot enough to catch on fire. then my ignition stoped going all the way in park so I would have to disconect my battery cables so that it wouldn't run my battery down. The car wouldn't go all the way up in park making the ignition key wouldn't turn back far enough to shut my car off and lights

The contact owns a 2006 Buick Lucerne. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Passenger air bags are not working

The car cuts off whwn you're driving it without warning. I have had the crankshaft position sensor replaced two times and it continues to fail. There are even reports in the internet that list this as a problem with this vehicle. I am afraid that someone will hit me from the rear and cause me injury or death. I am about to have this sensor replaced for a third time. It's absolutely ridiculous that I have to keep spending money out of my pocket for the same thing over and over again. This incident is a continual problem. It doesn't matter if you're stopped or driving it just happens out of the blue with no warning.

I have a 2006 buick lucerne that loses power randomly as I'm driving whether its pulling outbjnto traffic, which could cause injuries possibly even death, or maintain a certain speed for any amount of time , it just randomly loses power and wont go for however long until it starts to accelerate again . Also if I'm at a red light or stopped waiting to pull out somewhere , although I have my foot on the break, my car begins to accelerate and almost pulling me out into traffic. I have a service engine light and the code reads h02s heating control circuit sensor but I've yet to have it inspected because there isn't a recall for my car on that problem even though I've heard and read many complaints with the same or similar issues

ALUMINUM V8 ENGINE LEAKING OIL PROFUSELY. NOW GETTING SMOKE AND ODOR WHILE DRIVING. MY CONCERN IS THAT OIL IS LEAKING ON TO THE HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND COULD POSSIBLY IGNITE. I SUSPECT ENGINE BOLTS NEED TO BE RETORQUED WHICH WOULD NECESSITATE ENGINE REMOVAL TO ACCOMPLISH. THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW WHICH NEEDS CORRECTING. LEAKS OCCUR DURING ALL PHASES OF OPERATION. THE LEAKS FIRST BECAME EVIDENT SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND HAVE PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED SINCE.

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH HAS COME LOOSE MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IN THE VEHICLE. IT TEMPORARILY FIXES ITSELF, THEN RANDOMLY OCCURS AGAIN. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A HAZARD IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST LUCERNE THAT I'VE DRIVEN WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT'S QUITE COMMON. THERE IS NO SAFETY LOCK ON THE DOOR FOR THIS TO KEEP HAPPENING.

EVERY BUICK I HAVE EVERY HAD, HAD POWER STEERING ISSUES, INCLUDING MY NEWEST ONE. I JUST GOT A OIL CHANGE AND THEY TOPPED OFF EVERYTHING, YET MY POWER STEERING SOUNDS HORRIBLE WHEN TURNING.

INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF WINDSCREEN WIPERS ON A RANDOM BASIS

WHILE BACKING THE VEHICLE OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, IT LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND THE FLUID GUSHED FROM UNDER THE CAR. NOW THE THERE IS NO POWER STEERING.

CAR DRAINS MY BATTERY AND IT MESSED UP MY ALTERNATOR. I REPLACED BOTH AND ONCE AGAIN MY BATTERY KEEPS BEING DRAINED. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND ABOUT 10 CODES POPPED UP SAYING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. OTHER MODELS OF THIS BUICK HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. IL DRIVE MY CAR AND IT WILL COMPLETELY CUT OFF ON ME AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. IL FIND MY PAPER WORK FROM THE MECHANIC IF NEEDED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS NOW. IT DIDNT HAPPEN JUST ONCE. SO I CANT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL ITS FIXED.

THE DOORS, SPECIFICALLY REAR DOORS, IN THIS VEHICLE GET STUCK IN AN OPEN OR CLOSED POSITION. IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT THAT CAUSES THE DOOR LATCH TO STAY IN THE CLOSED POSITION, TRAPPING CHILDREN OR OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT, OR PREVENTING THE DOOR FROM CLOSING. FROM INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE LUCERNE (NOT JUST 2006) AND THE LACROSSE. FIRST WE HAD THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR GET STUCK CLOSED. AFTER A MONTH OR SO OF UNLOCKING AND LOCKING THE DOORS, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN RANDOMLY, BUT A FEW MONTHS LATER, BECAME STUCK CLOSED AGAIN WITH NO TRIGGER. WE CONTINUED TO USE THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR, BUT ABOUT A YEAR LATER, IT GOT STUCK OPEN. AT FIRST THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN FOR MY SON, BUT I PULLED ON THE HANDLE FROM THE OUTSIDE WHILE HE PUSHED FROM THE INSIDE, AND WE GOT IT OPEN. WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE THE DOOR, IT BOUNCED BACK. THE LATCH IS STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION. THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK IS NOT ENGAGED. THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE LOCKS FUNCTION NORMALLY MANUALLY, WITH THE KEY FOB, AND BY PRESSING THE DRIVER'S BUTTON. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND OFF DURING ALL INCIDENCES.

PERIODICALLY AT CRUISING SPEED OF 50 TO 60 MILES AN HOUR, SPEEDOMETER WILL FLUCTUATE WILDLY BETWEEN 25 AND 40 MPH. WHEN IT DOES THIS TRANSMISSION DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR TO BE IN, AND IN THE EVENT THAT THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE GOES ALL THE WAY TO ZERO, IT WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL EVEN IF YOU'RE IN GEAR, ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS PULL OFF AND SHUT IT DOWN AND WAIT SEVERAL SECONDS TO A FEW MINUTES FOR IT TO ENGAGE ONCE AGAIN WHEN YOU START IT BACK UP. THIS IS AN 06 BUICK LUCERNE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND 3.8 V6

THE DOOR LOCKS DON'T OPERATE AS IT WAS DESIGNED DUE TO A BINDING LOCK ROD GROMMET PREVENTING THE LOCK ROD FROM ACTUATING THE LOCK. THIS WAS NOT DUE TO ANY ACCIDENT NOR WAS THE CAR TRAVELING TO INITIATE THIS PROBLEM.

STEERING WHEEL IS TURNT TO RIGHT AND THE ONLY THE FRONT LIGHT COME ON NOT THE BACK AND MY ALARM IS MESSING WITH WITH THE COMPUTER AND THE GAS

ELECTRONICS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. NHTSA# 10972355 NHTSA ID# 10908198

THE BRAKE LINE WAS NOT COMPLETELY INSTALLED FROM THE ENGINE TO THE BRAKES, WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,620.

WHILE PASSING A VEHICLE, ACCELERATOR IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE TO OVER 115 MPH QUICKLY, AND THE SPEED CONTINUED TO CLIMB. COULD NOT DEACCELERATE. BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE, NO LUCK, SHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR, NO LUCK, PUSHED MANY BUTTONS ON STEERING WHEEL, NO LUCK, ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A HIGH SPEED DELIBERATE ROLLOVER. FINALLY AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT, THROTTLE DISENGAGED.

BACK DOORS ARE STUCK LOCKED. NEITHER DOOR WILL OPEN. HAVE TWO KIDS THAT HAVE TO RIDE BACK THERE AND IF WE GET IN AN ACCIDENT IT COULD BE FATAL IF THEY ARE BACK THERE AND CAN'T GET OUT!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LUCERNE. THE CONTACT NOTICED OIL LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEAD GASKET FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND EXPECTED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

DOOR DOES NOT OPEN USING EITHER INNER OR OUTER DOOR HANDLE. I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON LINE. BUICK HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM ON MULTIPLE CARS FOR MULTIPLE YEARS. SAFETY ISSUE BIG TIME WHEN ONE CANNOT GET OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY BECAUSE DOOR WON'T OPEN. THERE ARE ONLY 2 PEOPLE IN MY FAMILY AND THUS THE REAR DOORS ARE VERY SELDOM USED. DID NOT BREAK FROM OVERUSE, DESIGN PROBLEM.

I BEEN PAYING ALOT TO FIX THIS VEHICLE EVERY THING KEEPS GOING WRONG WITH IT AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE

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.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WERE I READ ENDED A CAR BECAUSE I WAS GOING AROUND A CORNER AND MY BREAKS FAILED AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS GOING 25 IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND TOOK A CORNER TO FAST BECAUSE MY BREAKS FAILED. I HIT A CURB BUSTED MY PASSENGER TIRE OFF AND THEN HIT A STATIONARY CAR. THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR WAS DESTROYED AND THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. I HAD ZERO AIRBAG REPLACEMENT LIGHTS ON EVERYTHING WITH THE CAR WAS FINE AND NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LUCERNE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED BUDD BAER BUICK AT 724-222-0700 AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE CONTACT PLACE A PICK INSIDE OF THE DOOR TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY STEERING LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNDER ABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. AND VEERED OFF THE ROAD. I DID RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTICED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. HAS THERE EVER BEEN A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE? THIS IS DANGEROUS.

DIC 'SERVICE AIR BAG' MESSAGE IS SHOWING. MOVING DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FORWARD AND BACK SOMETIMES MAKES THE MESSAGE DISAPPEAR. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THE 'SERVICE AIR BAG' MESSAGE IS SHOWING. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN APRIL OF 2013 FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS STATED THAT THIS SAME DIC MESSAGE HAS HAPPENED TO HIM.

DEFECTIVES AIRBAGS. THE SIDE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF WHEN I WAS HIT ON MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I DONT FEEL SAFE IN THAT VEHICLE. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND A TRUCK WAS. STOPPED AT A YIELD SIGN WHERE THE ROAD CAME TO A T. I HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY TO MAKE MY TURN. AS SOON AS I WAS MAKING THE TURN THE OTHER DRIVER DROVE FOWARD HITTING THE DRIVER SIDE OF MY CAR TOTALED MY DRIVER DOOR. THE AIRBAGS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CAR NEVER WENT OFF.

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

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.
