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.

Doors won't lock, open or latch by model year
What owners say
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.
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 rarely use my rear door, but both doors had the lock assembly go bad. This wouldn't allow me to get in or out of the car. My front drivers side door lock assembly failed as well. Total cost for the 3 doors to be repaired was almost 1000.00.
My car has been in the repair shop at least six times for the same problem and the light still comes on for the tire system sensor. Does buick know how to fix this? They have supposedly replace the module that includes the door locks and a sensor. Just got it back and it did it again.
Upon exiting the vehicle I grabbed the interior door handle, as my hand slide across the handle I was cut by an exposed plastic edge on the underside. After cleaning and bandaging the cut, I checked the other handles and found them to all have the sharp exposed edge on the underside.
