Problems with 2006 Buick Lucerne ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

2006 buick lucerne while driving there was a jarring event that occurred immediately affecting the engine power and power steering. *mw the ignition, power steering hose and air bag module and oxygen sensor were replaced. *jb

Took my car into firestone and found out that the motor mounts are sagging. most cars only need the bolts on the mounts replace - the lucerne is the only one where you need to replace all the motor mounts because they don't have bolts in them. another few miles and i will have an engine sitting on the highway. i am extremely upset because my husband is already handicapped and we bought this vehicle to last for more than 150,00 miles before we had to sink that kind of money in it. i have had a second opinion and it is indeed a problem. *tr

I own an '06 buick lucerne cxs with defective motor mounts. these motor mounts are known to be defective and many bulletins have been posted, along with many known customers getting them replaced. i however have had bad luck getting my local buick dealership to replace them. the problem happens while taking off from a stop. the defective mounts cause the engine to vibrate and shake the car. this to me seems like a very dangerous issue to have to deal with and would like to get these mounts replaced as soon as possible. *tr
