The trunk allows water to enter each time it rains. This causes water to collect in the spare tire department in the trunk. After it rains, trunk must be vacuumed out in order to retrieve water out of trunk. Unfortunately, this has caused my trunk liner to mold completely, as well as to begin molding under my back seat. My daughter and I have a mold allergy which has been affected by the mold in the car which is impossible to get rid of due to the location it has grown.

The driver's side door handle is coming off. My car was in my garage when on friday, september 30, I opened the door and the handle pulled away from the door. I could not open the door! I had to enter the car through the passenger's side in order to open the driver's side door. I then pushed the driver's side door handle back into place and used shipping tape to keep it in place until I could get it repaired. I called the buick national helpline and was told there was an unofficial recall for this issue and they called my local buick dealer and arranged for me to have the repairs done under warranty, today, october 5. The dealer, fox valley buick gmc in st. Charles, il said they would do the repairs but it would cost approximately $200. I had no other option and had the door handle replaced. I was charged $74 for a $30 part and $134 for labor. I am waiting to hear from the dealership owner to discuss this matter of charging for warranty repairs.
Airbags did not deploy. Damage to front of vehicle sustained at least 20mph down to minimum 16mph traveling but making a left turn. Buick hit oncoming car in a near front on collision. Buick's front damaged by a punch that drove into the engine (corner of oncoming vehicle hit our vehicle just off center toward driver side) and resulting in a near front on collision, from inspection by adjuster, and first responders were that air bags should have deployed. Vehicle had over $9,000 in front end repair needed, enough to total vehicle. Bumper totally destroyed, radiator and fan gone, hood back to windshield folded.
Driver side door handle, cylinder lock and latch mechanism pulls out from the door when opening the door to enter car. The assembly stays loose after the door is closed. It appears that something has broken inside and will require that the door panel will need to be removed and assembly replaced.

Lost power & control, collision with 5 other cars & airbags did not deploy. Collision occurred immediately after power loss & no recollection on my part until paramedics arrived & took me to emergency room. Car was total loss.
Since I haven't been keeping my car in a garage...water has leaked into my trunk and has rusted the spare tire and all the parts to change the tire. Water had filled up the holding place for spare tire. I don't use my trunk that much and by the time I saw it mildew smell throughout the car. Been busting my butt trying to clean it up. I think I have figured out that the water has been getting through the back light fixtures down into the trunk.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 buick lucerne. The contact stated that the door handle fractured while the contact was attempting to enter the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was approximately 73,771.
I was driving down the highway and for no apparent reason, my sunroof exploded and shattered into tiny pieces. The noise was like a gunshot and glass came into the car because the visor was open at the time. I did not lose control of the car, but the noise did cause me to be distracted and disoriented for a short time. If there had been more traffic, it might have been a lot worse. I can not attribute the event to any weather condition or vehicle use condition.
Sunroof drain system failed, causing the interior of the vehicle to flood. Initial damage was repaired under warranty. Problem has recurred, on 7/3/13 at 86,000 miles, causing flooding to the interior of the vehicle. Said problem is a danger to health and safety due to mold.
