While driving, I went over a bump in the road. The dashboard lights and bell started flashing, and message center said "engine powering down", then immediately said "engine powered off". there was no power steering or brakes. I was able to pull somewhat off the side of the road. I turned the key, and no response. After approx. Five minutes, I tried the key again, and the car started (not smoothly), and was fine. After one week, the same thing happened while driving at approx. 20 mph (Aug 24), and again happened while driving 45 mph (Aug 27). Each time, we were fortunately not around other vehicles. After the second stall, we received a recall notice from GM for the ignition switch. Talked to the recall center, who told us it was not under the recall because we did not know if the key had actually turned off. We had taken all other keys and fobs off the key, but the third incident occurred on August 27. We then took the car to the GM dealer who did a diagnostic check on September 2. he found a loose ground wire, and felt it was fixed. We picked up the car, drove approximately 1.5 miles and the car stalled again. When it started, we drove it back to the GM dealership. It has now been at the GM dealer since September 2. they continue to test drive and run diagnostic checks and nothing shows up. We have contacted GM recall center three times since, and have had no return phone calls.

In August of 2011 I purchased what was supposed to be a certified pre-owned Buick superior Buick. I had numerous problems that I tried to get fixed under warranty(suspension, thermostat, air bags, steering etc.) or good faith (only brakes) just to name a few, and tried to get a refund under my warranty or different car within the first 72 hours/150 miles of resigning my contract and was denied. I made numerous trips to the dealership to get these problems serviced and was told every time that nothing was wrong, they found debris here a screw there, tightened this, blamed it on this etc. They never fixed or replaced anything but a water pump and a couple of electrical bulbs (the same ones). After at least 5 attempts to get it fixed( per laws set forth) I had a couple of face-to- face meetings with the G.M./part owner louis faller. During these meetings, he tells me everything from you got a lemon, that he believed the car was wrecked prior, to that he fired a couple of employees for putting bad cars on his lot and not fixing them properly under warranty, amongst other things. So after no luck with a refund I began to get opinions which uncovered everything from prior damage to several things wrong with the suspension in late 2012 etc. So in late 2013, after all the things progressed to really bad and I got my X-mas bonus I began fixing it and reached out to hendrick corporate. They lied to me and said they would give me at least the money for fixing what I already fixed and that I had to get rest from dealership. They later took it back cause I wasn't signing over no rights because I still had several thousand in damages. So I reached out G.M. customer service and executive branches. They were like automated puppets. Please refer to attachments. The right front bearing, was replaced. There was an issue with the anti-lock brakes the right front strut shield was sticking and making a clicking sound, the tires were cupping, creating a rumbling sound, tie rods needed to be replaced, the pressure line from the powe

In December of 2013 I was playing music in my vehicle, ( 2008, Buick Lucerne) the battery got go drained. The thing that surprised me was the fact that after, the battery was drained the ignition ceased. I couldn't move the key up/down or in/out of the ignition. I think that this could have been very serious if I had lost power on the high way. (alternator or battery) when aaa came on the scene as soon as they hooked up my vehicle to a portable battery and, turned it on the key was released immediately.

Car would not start, and the fuel relay fuse had blown, damaging the fuse box. Fuse was replaced and on Dec 4, 2013 the car would not start again. New fuse block had to be installed. Mechanic's diagnoses said the fuel pump was not receiving good voltage at time, further inspection and testing showed under the rear seal left side fuse block is receiving good voltage but sending a low voltage signal to the fuel pump. Further investigation shows a burnt and melted high resistance connection at the fuel pump relay. Normally, I understand the fuse next to the relay should have blown. Problem seems to stem with the fuse box and there was only one available in the United States on 12/4/2013 which I got. My mechanic was told they are on national backorder and it could take up to 6 months to receive one. So there is an obvious problem with these fuse boxes.

My car drove perfectly fine in the morning. Early afternoon I went to drive the car and although it cranked, it did not and would not start. I took it the dealer who informed me that the fuel pump pulled too much amperage, causing the relay and the fuse box to burn. He stated I was lucky the car did not catch on fire. He further advised me that I had to change all three parts at a cost of over $1600!! I did further research and discovered that this is a known and common problem with the 2008 Buick Lucerne. I am amazed that I was not advised of this potential life threatening problem and that even with the knowledge, GM did not issue a recall. I have asked GM to pay for the fixing of this problem, but thus far there has not been any decision as to what they will do. I need GM to first pay to fix the problem, and second to issue a recall before someone gets killed.

As I was turning a corner in this vehicle the engine suddenly stopped running. As I was on a lightly traveled street inside a development I was able to stop near the curb. I attempted to restart the car but it would not start. I called for assistance and a flat bed tow truck came after 1 hour. The car was taken to a Buick dealer that I normally use. The problem was diagnosed as the failure of the ignition module and 3 ignition coils that were supposedly damaged by the failing ignition coil. I feel that this is a serious problem as the sudden loss of power caused the power steering and braking to cease. If I had been on a busy highway or interstate it could have resulted in an crash as a result of the lack of control of the vehicle. I believe I was fortunate to be on a lightly traveled road inside a development.

Three door locks ceased working at various times regardless of using a key fob or the switch on the inside of the door. Two were repaired at a GM repair facility (dealer). That GM repair facility attempted to fix the 3rd one, but was unsuccessful. It is aggravating to have to look at all 4 doors each time the car is unlocked or locked to check the position of the lock knob. Hazard: If the door would not lock when the car is left parked, it might be easily broken into, or if the door didn't unlock in an emergency, it might trap someone inside.

Purchased vehicle 4/2/12. 6/30/12 car would not start. Full power and crank but would not engage. Car towed and diagnosed as fuel pump/relay. The relay was melted. Repaired without incident. July 23,2012 car repeated. No start. Car towed again and relay is melted again. Researching it seems to be a common event occurring in 2008 V8. Mechanic has determined it to be an electrical problem stemming from fuse and amps being delivered to relay. The consumer stated the manufacturer exceeded and a reasonable amount of time addressing the failure.
