| Tl- the contact owns a 2008 buick lucerne. the contact stated she has had it to the dealer four times for the fuel spilling out of the filler pipe when she's fueling the vehicle. at times the fuel shoots out and gets the contact soaked with gasoline. the dealer said the failure had been repaired but it is still doing the same thing. she also stated that the front drivers side window opens very slowly and squeaks. the drivers seat also has no padding so when she tries to get out of the vehicle she has to tilt the steering wheel in the upward position to be able to get out. the vehicle has not been repaired. the failure and current mileages were 19,950. rd | |||

| I purchased an 08 buick lucerne in sept. of 08. my concern deals with the accelerator. this model i am told has an all electronically controlled accelerator. i find it almost impossible to hold an even speed on the highway as it is constantly either speeding up or slowing down, and i have no perception of ever moving the pedal. at stop signs/lights it will sometimes leap out with a jack rabbit start which was totally unplanned for. this i feel is a major safety issue plus i also think it has a lot to do with the poor mileage i am experiencing. i am only getting 15-23 mpg which is far from the 23-29 i got on my 05 lasabre with the same engine. i have had it to two dealerships and they basically tell me this is all electronic and there is nothing they can do. i find this answer unacceptable and hope that you can possibly help. thank you *tr | |||
