“My 2006 Buick Lucerne cxs v8 drivers seat is offset to the right of the steering wheel. Upon personal investigation it was discovered that the oem supplier of the drivers side airbag had a lot of problems passing deployment specifications so as a last resort Buick (GM) decided to move the seat instead. This is very uncomfortable to drive and I really wonder how well the airbag will deploy in a side impact crash. I've contacted GM and the dealer and get the runaround and was even told by one of the dealers service men that all cars are designed like that!”
NHTSA complaint #10168180, filed 2006-09, 30 miles“Heated/cooled seats stopped working. Button on door lights up like they are on, but the heat/cool does not actually turn on. Turns out problem is with connector at control module under passenger seat. Connector is partially melted with black burn marks. This issue appears to be common on numerous GM vehicles (Buick Lucerne, cadillac dts, etc...) fuse does not blow, possible fire issue?”
NHTSA complaint #10920287, filed 2016-10, 113,000 miles“The rear door locks on the 2006 Buick Lucerne have a fundamental design flaw. If the rear seat passenger pulls the door handle to open the door while the door is locked, and holds it in place when the power lock mechanism attempts to unlock the door, the mechanism binds internally making the door impossible to open. This has occurred 5 times on our Lucerne over the past 4 years. The only way to open the door is remove the inner door panel. Reach into the lock through the access holes and free up the mechanism. …”
