Excellent car just got my mother in laws 2006 lucerne. Excellent engine 3800. One thing you might want to keep an eye out for is the rear seat where the fuse box is located. The seat clip left rear by fuse box rubs against fuse box which will cause box to short circuit and melt fuses. Cut seat clip enough so it's not rubbing against fuse box. Also the plastic coolant elbows Crack. Replace them with metal ones. Also I replaced all the door latches because doors will get stuck unable to open doors. Good luck otherwise Excellent car

I have a 2010 Lucerne CXL that just turned 150,000 miles. It has the 3.9 V6 which I absolutely love! 227 hp I believe and lots of low end torque. I bought it in 2018 with about 100,000 miles on it and I take really good care of my cars and this one is probably the most trouble free car I have ever owned. The 3.9 engine is a newer version of the old Chevy 2.8 V6 and it runs great. All I've had is normal wear maintenance like brakes and replaced the plugs and wires soon after I bought it. Extremely quiet and a great car for trips. The previous owner took pretty good care of it too. I forgot I had to replace the drivers side mirror when the glass discolored from the auto dimming feature. I found a replacement at a junk yard for $50. I had 3 Pontiac Bonnevilles before this with the 3800 V6's and this engine runs stronger but doesn't get as good gas mileage. It's about 2 to 3 mpg less on city and highway.

Oh the lucerne let me tell you about my little baby I have my fathers Lucerne passed down to me an to him from his brother now 283k I’ve done a lot but have enjoyed the CXL model. I have only had 1 terrible repair so far and that’s the Front engine cover . Water ran out ran the temp up shut it down and replaced thermostat, radiator hose, water pump, then realized it was the engine cover gasket which was a nice task for a diy and i put Good gaskets. But I’ve recent ly replaced lower,inner,control arm ball joint and wheel bearings now along with a power steering hose, front shocks and converted rear Shocks non air. All less than $1000. I noticed while driving previously before the gasket problem while at speeds 40-70 while lower rpm it would act funny with the throttle like rocking forward well anyways as i did the gasket repair i FOUND Wires going to 2 sensor cam position and another that had burnt wires i fixed an it went away. Now my driver seat movements forward have stuck no going BACK . So I’ve unbolted the seat and found its very annoying if you move the seat to much you can’t get the bolt in and if you have the seat in it won’t work. She’s worn me out an occasionally the transmission slips and she’s all worn out but good Faith it will hold up till then I’m going for 300k. Thanks You and congratulations on your Lucerne

I had a 2006 with less than 60000 miles. I absolutely loved it. Ran into a deer and totaled it. Got a 2008 and had it for about 5 years now. No problems until the last year. So I had to have an alternator and a power steering pump replaced. The power steering pump twice. The one they put on was worse than the one they replaced. $1400. Then I also had the infamous fuse block issue. My 06 everything was under the hood this one is under the seat. Very inconvenient for handicapped people. Replaced the fuse block for $200. Did it ourselves. Less than 10 mins. Now I have the other problem with door handles breaking. So I have a new drivers side door handle beside me with JB weld I just put in it so hopefully that won’t be an issue again. Still have to work out the drivers side door open issue. Makes it real inconvenient that I can’t lock the door or roll down the window or use anything on the door without it being halfway open

I have a 2010 Lucerne CXL with the 3.9. I have had quite a bit of trouble from mine. First of all after only a few months of buying it the fuse box under the back seat shorted out. That was a $600 repair. Then the flex pipe on the catalytic converter which is about 6 inches long blew out/worn out. It was the only car I had so I had to drive it a bit like this. Turns out that was a HORRIBLE idea because it was right near the transmission and the exhaust coming out onto the transmission ended up causing transmission failure. $2k transmission rebuild. Then a few months later I got a low oil pressure light which caused engine failure. Nearly $3k repair parts and labor after having a used engine put in it. And still I am getting a check engine light which reads as low voltage to the fuel pump. Yes when I had the repair done on the fuse box under the back seat I did trim the seat clip so it wouldn't happen again so I have no idea what is causing the low voltage to the fuel pump issue now.
@Kiwiv652 жыл бұрын
That is a shame. I have heard issues about the fuse box under the rear seat. And I do prefer the 3.8 motor over anything as they do seem to be a tried and tested motor. I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about the 3.9. Shame it hasn’t been a good vehicle for you.

I owned a 2007 Buick Lucerne with the 3.8L. It ran good up until 191,000 miles and at that point the engine developed a slight misfire on cylinder #1 that I could not even notice, but since the computer notices it, it will keep turning off the cruise control. The mechanic replaced the spark plugs, plug wires, the coil packs and the distribution plate that the coil packs sit on. He could not figure out what was causing the misfire and at around that time the radio speakers were crackling super loud, even with the radio turned off. I hated having my ear drums blown out and driving a car without cruise control. I would not suggest buying a Lucerne. My brother also had a 2008 Lucerne with only 80,000 miles. The climate control would not blow much heat on the passenger side floor board, so his wife was freezing her feet. The spent $2000 at the chevy dealership after taking it in multiple times and they could not figure it out. They ended up trading it in because of the problem. I will never buy another Buick Lucerne!

I had the same problem, I ordered a key fob from Amazon, used the message control on dash to program it and now I can open it

I used flex seal tape and covered up both holes and no more water. Holes can be seen from the trunk if you remove plastic moulding along trunk cargo net area. Lay down under back bumper and apply tape over holes 1 on drivers side and 1 on passenger side.
