Consumer Description

CAR WAS FINE 1 DAY NEXT DAY WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED MECHANIC REPLACED FUEL PUMP AND RELAY. NEXT DAY I'M DRIVING GOING DOWN HILL AND IT LOOSES ALL POWER AND WON'T START. HAD IT TOWED AGAIN. MECHANIC REPLACED RELAY. PICKED CAR UP AND DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS AND RELAY BURNED OUT IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. WALKED TO PARTS STORE AND BOUGHT RELAY. REPLACED AND DROVE HOME. NEXT DAY GOING TO WORK AND RELAY BURNS OUT AGAIN. IT IS SUPER HOT AND MELTS PLASTIC AROUND THE HOLE IN FUSE BOX WHERE THE PRONG GOES IN. HAVE REPLACED IT SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND I AM NOW TAKING IT BACK TO MECHANIC BEFORE IT CATCHES ON FIRE OR GETS ME KILLED DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE BUICK LUCERNE. I ONCE TRUSTED THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. STRANDED EVERY TIME I LEAVE THE HOUSE.
