NHTSA Complaint #10576262 — 2006 BUICK LUCERNE

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. *TR
