#164 of 214 Re: Just got a Lucerne, no vibration FYI. [evandro] by kcwolfpack59 Jun 05, 2007 (9:16 am)
Replying to: evandro (Jun 03, 2007 3:57 pm) GM needs to react much faster when problems like this come up. IMHO, this is the bread and butter car that has the potential of saving Buick. (I am still mad at the discontinuation of Olds, but that is for another forum.) If Lesabre and Park Avenue drivers start trading in their cars for the Lucerne, and the Lucerne has problems such as vibration, then owners may be turned off. Since I like GM and am loyal, I hope that the Lucernes with vibrations are rare, and that there are many satisfied owners out there that don't write into this forum because they don't have anything to gripe about. Anyway, I am thankful that mine does not vibrate at all. I gave it the most thourough test drive I have ever given a car before I got it.
#166 of 214 Goodbye to my Lucerne!! by jbrich Jun 14, 2007 (5:39 am)
After some GM intervention, I have the opportunity to trade out of my 2006 Lucerne with vibration and steering issues. Of course I have to replace it with another GM vehicle - I'm not sure I want to attempt a 2007 Lucerne...anyone have any advice on that? Any suggestions on another GM? Thanks for any input.
#167 of 214 Vibration resolution by walt55 Aug 24, 2007 (9:26 am)
I have had my '06' Lucerne (6-cyl) back to the dealer about 5 - 6 times to correct the (initial acceleration) vibration problem. They replaced the engine mount and made the adjustment mentioned in post # 145, neither of which corrected the problem. Finally, they identified the culprit .... It was the catalytic converter or more correctly, the mounting of the CC. They replaced the CC and 'bingo', no more vibration.   Up to that point, GM was at a total loss as to the cause so they were no help. But thanks to my dealer's persistence, they were able to correct it. Walt Replies to this message: lucerneowner (Aug 25, 2007 3:21 pm)

Replying to: how123 (Jun 04, 2007 11:44 am) I hope you're right about the no charge. Sometimes there are hidden charges in the agreements that you don't realize, especially if there's a settlement by the manufacturer.
#169 of 214 Brake Vibrations by rake2 Aug 25, 2007 (4:31 am)
Has anyone had problems with brake vibrations? Mine has had that issue 2 or 3 times already, and I can feel it coming on yet again. I have about 26,000 miles on my CXS, much of it highway mileage. I've never had this type of problem consistently before, and I'm wondering if it's just an unlucky problem with my specific car, or something that is happening for the model.

Replying to: walt55 (Aug 24, 2007 9:26 am) Glad your problem got taken care of, Walt. I am a little confused tho ... if the problem was the CC mounting and not the CC itself, then why did they replace the CC? It kinda sounds as tho the problem was related to the one in post #145 after all, as the only problem I can think of is that the torquing (rotation) of the engine (and resulting movement of everything attached to it) upon acceleration from a stop was causing the CC to touch the chassis momentarily and transmit vibration ...

Anyone know if GM took care of this vibration issue for 07' model??? Anyone with an 07' that is having same problem? Thanks for any help. Replies to this message: lucerneowner (Oct 27, 2007 8:03 am) tstridde (Jan 08, 2008 2:19 pm) lucerneowner (Jan 08, 2008 3:02 pm)

Replying to: carhelp7 (Oct 27, 2007 7:06 am) Buick never acknowledged that the post #145 Lucerne vibration issue was a general problem, just an occasional problem when pertinent tolerances all added up the wrong way, I guess. So, I doubt that anything was done about it for 2007 models. They DID acknowledge a problem with 1 of the 4 2006 engine/xmission mounts, and redesigned it. Replacing that mount, however, didn't help my particular vibration problem, as described in post #145. I'm pretty satisfied with the 'QUIETness" of my 2006 Lucerne now, but still feel they did an inadequate job isolating engine noise from the cabin, a job they did splendidly in my 1999 LeSabre Ltd. The good news is that they did a good job reducing wind noise in the Lucernes.

Replying to: carhelp7 (Oct 27, 2007 7:06 am) No, they have not taken care of the vibration issue. I took delivery of a 2007 Lucerne CXL and I have a very noticeable vibration that begins mostly above 40 mph and continues on up through 70 to 75 mph. Dealer has had it almost as much as I have. They have replaced drive shafts, done alignment, replaced the tires and road forced balanced, which seemed to make it worse. The new tires helped some, but it is still there. They let me drive a 2008, and it doesn't feel much better. I would be happy to hear if anyone has solved this problem. Replies to this message: lucerneowner (Jan 08, 2008 3:02 pm)
