2006 BUICK LUCERNE WITH A LIST OF CONCERNS /PROBLEMS**CC ON THE DAY OF PURCHASE THE CONSUMER'S NOTICED WIND NOISE FROM BOTH FRONT DOORS AND SCRATCHES ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO BUFF OUT THE SCRATCHES BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. GM APPROVED A WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT. WHILE DRIVING THE AUTOMATIC DRIVER'S SEAT STARTED MOVING UP ON IT'S OWN. THE SEAT WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL IT WAS AS FAR FORWARD AS IT COULD GO. THE CD PLAYER/RADIO REFUSED TO EJECT A CD, BUT AFTER TWO DAYS IT FINALLY RELEASED. THE RADIO WAS ALSO NOT WORKING DURING THIS TIME. THE CONSUMER MADE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. TRUNK DECK EXPLODED. WHEN THE TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON WAS PUSHED THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE AND THE TRUNK FLEW OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DOORS WERE READJUSTED TO STOP THE WIND NOISE. THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT. THEY ALSO COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CD/RADIO. WHEN THE TECHNICIAN PRESSED THE TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB, THE TRUNK DECK EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT THE DEALER TO BE SERVICED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE TRUNK PROBLEM. *NM

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
BEEN HAVING A CLUNK/BUMP TYPE SOUND IN THE STEERING WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING STILL OR AT LOW SPEED, HAD A LOCAL DEALER LOOK AT IT A YEAR AGO AND THEY FOUND NOTHING, IN ADDITION TOO WE ARE FINDING DROPS OF OIL IN OUR DRIVEWAY. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE LOOK AT IT, WITH NO LUCK AT FINDING THE LEAK. RECENTLY THE WHOLE FRONT END HAS BEEN SHAKING, WITH SEVERAL FOLKS CHECKING, INCLUDING THE LOCAL DEALER WHO YESTERDAY TOLD ME THEY NO LONGER WORK ON GM PRODUCTS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THE 2006 MODELS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS, SO I TALKED TO THE A DEALER AND HE SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THERE WERE NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR RECALLS FOR THESE PROBLEMS FOR 2007. THEN I FOUND YOUR SITE AND FOUND THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOLD BUICK THIS AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO THAT IS WAS ONLY THE 2006 MODELS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THERE WAS WAY TO MUCH OF A COINCIDENT THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM FOR IT TO ONLY BE THE YEAR BEFORE. WE ARE SMELLING BURNING OIL AND DRIVEWAY FULL OF OIL JUST WAITING TO GET INTO THE LOCAL LAKE, NOT TO MENTION THE RECALL SAID IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE.
