2006 Buick Lucerne: check engine light

Filed Sep 30, 2021 · Acceleration, Electrical · TN

I have a 2006 buick lucerne that loses power randomly as I'm driving whether its pulling outbjnto traffic, which could cause injuries possibly even death, or maintain a certain speed for any amount of time , it just randomly loses power and wont go for however long until it starts to accelerate again . Also if I'm at a red light or stopped waiting to pull out somewhere , although I have my foot on the break, my car begins to accelerate and almost pulling me out into traffic. I have a service engine light and the code reads h02s heating control circuit sensor but I've yet to have it inspected because there isn't a recall for my car on that problem even though I've heard and read many complaints with the same or similar issues

Car drains my battery and it messed up my alternator. I replaced both and once again my battery keeps being drained. I took it to the shop and the mechanic ran a diagnostic test and about 10 codes popped up saying electrical problem. Other models of this buick has been recalled for the same electrical problem. Il drive my car and it will completely cut off on me and the check engine light comes on. Il find my paper work from the mechanic if needed. This has been happening for months now. It didnt happen just once. So I cant drive the car until its fixed.

Freeze plug failed (not due to freezing). Dealer indicated not to drive vehicle. Was necessary to tear out transmission to make repairs with a new type of replacement plug. Dealer had car from wednesday noon to following tuesday evening. New type of seal cost $24.50 and the labor was $1,114.00. Gateway buick in dallas, texas. Indicated that if seal was not replaced I could loose all coolant and hot engine could cause steam that would hinder my vision and leave me stranded along the road. The next morning after repairs were completed the check engine light came on and vehicle would not shift out of low. Had to return vehicle to dealer for additional repairs. Seems to me that the original freeze plug was badly designed and that gm had to develop a new type of seal in order to prevent accidents and damage..

My 2006 buick lucerne engines stops randomly. As I am traveling down the road the engine suddenly cut off and there is a loss of all power steering and brakes. All electrical components blacks out and when it stops you can not crank it. After waiting different amounts of time you can crank it up and continues until the next mysterious outage . This is my wife car and I do not allow her to drive it. I do not take it on any winding roads. I went to the dealership where I purchased and was told if there is no check engine light then no codes will be set to find the problem. I have carried it to three other shops to no avail. One mechanical was driving it around town and it happen on a roundabout. He said he had to struggle with all his might to get though it before he could stop. I do not know what to do and hopefully nothing dreadful will happen, like gm cares.

When driving and accelerating, vehicle looses power. This is dangerous. This is an intermittent problem and no check engine light comes on. The speed does not play a part in this problem nor does the amount of gas in the fuel tank. The vehicle will loss power and have a big jerk and bang when accelerating out of a parked position. I have had the vehicle stall when turning onto a street and start back up. This morning in pulling out onto a busy street in my neighborhood,the car lost power, but regained power before I got hit. This is dangerous. I went to the dealership where I purchased and was told if there is no check engine light then no codes will be set to find the problem. So what do I do with this car? I know I have passed the lemon law. I have no warranty left. But my main concern is safety, not only myself but for others. Just saying what if this morning my car had not regained power and that family in the car with their babies couldn't stop and hit me. I don't want to think that those babies could have been hurt because I have a car that has a mysterious problem. So morally what do I do, trade and let someone else deal with this problem? Keep on paying on a vehicle, that I am concerned about driving? Also, I was a service adviser for 12 years in a gm and chrysler dealership. I have an understanding of vehicles. Please if you don't have a resolution, don't blow smoke at me. Thank you for your time.
