Replying to: impartial1 (Oct 01, 2006 11:32 am) My 06 CX Lucerne is getting both passanger side handles replaced. One the plastic end pops out of the door and sometimes the door won't latch and the other has the chrome bubbling issue. Hopefully, the new handles won't have the same problems.   I also have the engine knocking/pinging. Supposedly they replaced an engine mount for me to fix the issue. Although it is not as noticable, it didn't eliminate the knocking which is more prominent when the engine is cold.

Replying to: grant570 (Dec 04, 2007 6:00 am) My 2007 Lucerne 3.8 had the same issue. You might try running a tank or two of 93 octane + Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant and Fuel Injector Cleaner. Combined with a couple "italian tune ups," my car runs fine on regular gas now. Could be some carbon build up in there somewhere. Good luck.

Replying to: grant570 (Dec 04, 2007 6:00 am) Ditto on Drivers Door Handles...also noticable KNOCK from Engine when COLD. Just got off phone with Dealership regarding Door Handles...did not go well says I am out of warranty now and not covered. Called GM and lodged complaint, should be taking to Dealer locally to evaluate if MFR Defect on Door Handles. Advised agent that ample evidence of other owners with similar complaints if they are interested in a doing a cursory check using Google or whoever on the Internet.   Hopefully GM will do the right thing here, I have replaced a lot of items on cars before to normal wear and tear but Door Handles??? Thats absurd. Replies to this message: wittum4 (Nov 13, 2009 2:45 pm)
#50 of 55 Door handle and remote by chuck21401 Jul 27, 2008 (3:46 am)
So the other day the remote to lock/unlock the doors stopped working. I opened the door and tried it again and the remote started working again. Went into a store and came back out and the remote wasn't working again. Manually unlocked the door and door handle broke as I was opening it. I'm not sure if the two problems are related. I called the dealer to report the problem and schedule the repair. Apparently broken door handles are a common problem on this car. Beyond precision!

Replying to: carservice (Nov 27, 2008 12:06 pm) My 08 Lucerne also scrapes on my driveway more than any other car on it. I've also wondered about the durability of the plastic part....My car is only 6 months old now,though....
#53 of 55 2007 CXL V8 with sharkskin paint by billyl Jan 11, 2009 (11:44 am)
What is the hardness of the clearcoat on this paint. It is supposedly "special paint" for which added to the cost of the car. I don't want to use something that will harm the clearcoat. I want to detail the car and would like to know if anybody else has this color and has tried to detail theirs or has had it done and knows what cleaner, polish, wax and sealer was used. Looking to find product that gives the best shine possible even if it doesn't last as long as some others. Any help appreciated.

Replying to: chuck21401 (Jul 27, 2008 3:46 am) Wow... This sounds exactly like my story. The remote doesn't work unless I open a door in the car first... and yes, my door handle pulls right out of the door.

Replying to: rhassell (Jan 02, 2008 10:30 am) My door handle just broke too. Is there a recall on this or anything that will pay for it ?
