Have had repeated issues w/dash warning light saying right front tire pressure low. Just came from tire shop. They told me them chrome is peeling on the inside of the rim causing a poor seal at the bead. From what I am seeing on different sites, this is not an single isolated incident. Tire shop also said wheels similar to mine were recalled on Cadillac models. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Buick lucerne. While parked, he noticed the "check right front tire" warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. After inserting air into the tire the warning indicator turned off. The vehicle was taken to a tire shop on two separate occasions for the identical failures. The technician stated the failure was contributed to the aluminum chrome wheels equipped on the vehicle. The aluminum chrome was peeling from the wheel while causing gradual air pressure loss in the tire. The front passenger wheel was replaced. The front driver wheel exhibited the identical defect. The failure and current mileages were unknown. The VIN was unavailable.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Buick lucerne. The contact stated that while driving or parked, the front passenger and rear driver side tires would not maintain air. After air was added to both tires, they would become flat. The contact had to put air in the tires daily. The contact had new tires installed on the vehicle, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the rims needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000. The VIN was not available.

The chrome plated wheels become corroded and leak air around the bead of the tire. I have had all four tires remounted and sealed several times. Now it looks like I will have to buy new wheels gm dealer won't replace them having to pay for new wheels. The front passenger wheel now leaks about 10 lbs of air a day, which in my opinion is a safety factor not to mention that it is now winter and is a real pain having to put air in them every day. *tr

Veh while driving just cuts off for no reason, speed does not matter. If going fast enough you might be able to cost to the shoulder of the road however there is absolutely no warning it just cuts off. After waiting about 5 minutes you can restart the car but have no assurance that it will keep going. This has happened a total of three times. Once in heavy traffic, and twice when there was enough speed to get the car to the shoulder of the road. The first time was the camshaft sensor and had that replaced and the service man told me there was absolutely no warning for failure. The second and third time no warning but have not found out what the cause s of this problem was. I contacted Buick and there has been no recall for this problem. Got on a Buick forum and found that there are s

Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while driving and while it's just sitting. There is absolutely no warning sign as to when this will happen. It's stalled on me while driving in all weather conditions and at different speeds. The engine just quits. Sometimes it will restart after a short while, and at other times it's had to be towed. We've had it to different dealers and mechanics and no one can figure it out. Can't drive or sell it in this condition. The same problems occurred when my father owned the car. He took it in several times for repair also, and again, nothing solved the problem.

Dash cluster is very hard to read during daylight hours unless backlit by light sensor on the dash. During the day the dash cluster is almost impossible to see and read with or without sun glasses. I have to take my eyes off of the road for more than 2 seconds to see my speed, tack, gas gauge or other accessories, which takes my concentration away from driving and could result in a serious accident. I have had the car back to the dealer suss Pontiac twice. First time they replaced the entire cluster. The second time was for the same reason. The dash cluster cannot be read during daylight hours. The second time back I was told by the dealer and Buick there was nothing they could do about it, that I would have to put up with this problem. The dealer admitted that others have also com

I had to take the car to a gas station in the area because my tires were going flat constantly. I was continually putting air in the tires. I would lose 10 to 15 lbs of air per day! After talking to the mechanic, he told me that the bad rim was the problem. These rims were no good and a problem that is dangerous! I was told at that time that this was a constant problem with the chrome wheels. I had gone into a ditch last year because of the loss of air in a rear tire and had another car been coming at the time, I may have been killed. I just now replaced all four tires at the Buick dealership here, brenengen auto, with new tires which match the original tires for this car. They found "heavy corrosion on the left rear rim" and they recommended replacing the rims to fix this problem. The

Problems with keeping tire pressure at proper level. Lately has gotten worse. Losing up to 10lbs over the period of a week in one of the tires. Two other tires leak slowly. After reading the other complaints on this site, I will certainly be elevating this with the dealer I bought the car from to see what can be done. Poor construction of wheels causing dropping pressure in tires is a serious problem. *tr

I was driving down street and motor quit running. The motor did start and I continued on my journey. Later that same day, the engine stopped again and would not restart for several minute. After several tries it started. I did not have any more occurrences for several months. I received a notice that my Buick had been recalled, but that parts were not available. In a letter dated september 2014, I was notified to contact my dealer and parts were now available for gm recall 14299. I called the dealer and they said parts were not available and they would call me when they were available. After several weeks, I called and they had the part and scheduled me for nov. 17. I took the Buick in with four keys. They would only fix two keys; so, now I have two fixed keys and two unfixed keys
