Defectives airbags. The side airbags didn't go off when I was hit on my driver side door. I dont feel safe in that vehicle. I was making a left turn and a truck was. Stopped at a yield sign where the road came to a t. I had the right of way to make my turn. As soon as I was making the turn the other driver drove foward hitting the driver side of my car totaled my driver door. The airbags on either side of the car never went off.

I have experienced an issue that seems to be of concern ( reviewed complaints filed for the same issue) for safety. My passenger side back door failed to unlock both from the inside and outside. If I were in an accident and had passengers in the back seat, this could be life threatening. I cannot image that there has not been a recall for such a serious issue. After talking to gm, they will not take any action until notified by NHTSA-odl. What does it take for this issue to be addressed? *tr

When driving in the rain my Buick lucerne's exterior driver-side rear view mirror is useless due to the wash of water streaming across the driver's side window. It is impossible to see traffic in the left lane and in order to change lanes I must rely on the interior rear view mirror. This loss of visibility occurs whether or not there is a wind condition, but it is most dangerous on the highway at highway speeds with windshield wipers pushing water toward the driver side window. I have had a couple of near misses during daylight driving conditions. *tr

My car's transmission did not come out of park at a large gas station. The car could not be moved buy any means. After several phone calls to various repair shops I was told that the brake interlock pin would not release. I was told that gm did not build an override into the shifter. After 1 plus hours of trying the pin finally released. By not putting the car in park I got the car to the dealership. They said that the part was superseded twice. The part failed three times before it was repaired. The car could have locked up in a more dangerous situation than mine. *tr

I purchased a new 2006 Buick lucerne cxl, the dash board data showing the speedometer, odometer, etc., is lighted at night and inclement weather. On sunny days the lights go out, all the items mentioned are not visible. It creates a hazard since it is not possible to tell the speed. My husband got a speeding ticket for traveling at 9 MPH above the posted limit. The potential for an accident is exacerbated because reading any of the data while driving is impossible. Also the passenger's view of these items is obscured so that the ability to act as a co- pilot is eliminated. It seems to me that the device that turns these lights off could be modified to keep them lit. I entered a complaint the same week I purchased the car and nothing has been done, nor can I get any information from Buick t
