#30 of 40 Suggested Improvements by richmosar May 30, 2007 (8:02 pm)
1. Better lighting (i.e. optitron) of the dash and guages like most under $20K Japanese cars have. It's a shame that a $30K-$40K car such as this does not offer this.   2. Split folding rear seats   3. Kill the ash tray and replace it with a storage area for CDs.   4. Offer the better (i.e. firmer) suspension that's available in the V8 to the V6 models, especially with gas at $4 a gallon.   5. Kill the lame port holes   6. Offer a darker colored leather in the V6 models. The very light tanned leather looks like it will get dirty easily.

I want Buick to pay attention to my complaint of sudden engine failure on interstates with our 2006 Buick Lucerne. My letter to GM's CEO was received by GM on July 10th at 2:51 but no reply has been received by today. Five repair departments have been involved-the two recurrent problems -one above plus four episodes of not starting or even cranking seem to keep involving the wiring harness. Two repair depts genuinely felt they "fixed" the problem and we trusted them at first. Now we are involved with the original dealer who is fluffing us off-this car is a major hazard to us and others. We want a fair resolution. Suggestions beyond notifying BBB and NHTSA as stated in the manual is needed. We have an over $30,000 car sitting in our garage-useless because I am terrified to drive it on the highway.

#35 of 40 Lucerne Design Flaws by wdhess01 Feb 10, 2008 (6:16 am)
I chose the Buick Lucerne as my business car and have only two major complaints. Both are simple design flaws:   I am on the road a lot and usually have a beverage while driving. The front seat cupholders are too shallow to hold a large cup of coffee in place when cornering. Ouch...A large cup of Starbucks really burns!   When the windows are rolled down even a crack when it is raining, water rolls off the top and pours into the car onto the door instrument controls, front seat and me.

Replying to: rmello (Dec 18, 2007 7:25 am) How about putting the lower decklid chrome molding on ALL models, standard? I think the difference in the look of the rear of the car is changed many times for the better with the simple addition of this molding.   Bill
#37 of 40 Hows come? by scandiaken Jun 17, 2008 (10:02 am)
How come nobody has asked for better lighting on the gauges? Can others read the gauges when the lights are on "auto" and you are heading into the sun or wearing sunglasses or both? Is there an available fix for this? Is that why it is not being mentioned here in this blog? Replies to this message: jg585 (Jun 17, 2008 5:32 pm) scandiaken (Jun 18, 2008 2:53 pm)

Replying to: scandiaken (Jun 17, 2008 10:02 am) I have an ’07 Lucerne and have not had an issue with the gauges under any conditions. Hm? Good luck with that. My seats are awful. Replies to this message: scandiaken (Jun 18, 2008 2:53 pm)

Replying to: jg585 (Jun 17, 2008 5:32 pm) Do you have bucket seats? Lots of complaints about those. I have the bench 40-20-40 seats (without leather) We have been happy with those Suppose there is a connection between the floor shift and the   instrument lighting? I also have the shift lever on the steering column the way god intended
