“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. …”

“I bought the car a 2007 in september of 2012 with 50000 miles. When driving varies speeds and when the drivers seat is moved the air bag light will come on at random. Every time it comes on know it lasts longer than before. Have talked to several people and they said that if its on and I get in a accident the airbags may not work? Wouldn't that be a safety issue?”

NHTSA complaint #10576698, filed 2014-04, 55,000 miles

“I have a 2007 Buick Lucerne, 69,000 miles. Back door could not be opened, passenger trapped inside. Contacted GM, as I felt this was a safety concern. I was told to go to Buick dealer & was a given incident number which they provided to my Buick dealer. This has been a problem with many buicks for years & they will do nothing. The repair was $400 for a lock replacement on this one door.”

“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. …”
