2010 Buick LaCrosse Complaint Log

THE TRUNK RELEASES AND POPS OPEN ON ITS OWN. THE TRUNK OPENS IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT IS SHUT. THE SEQUENCE OF CLOSE AND RELEASE HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE TRUNK REMAINS LATCHED. THE OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IDLE AND WITH THE ENGINE OFF.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG VEHICLE WILL POP UP WITH SERVICE STABILITRACK AND THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WILL FLASH ON AND OFF AND CAR WILL JERK FOR ABOUT A MINUTE THEN GOES ALONG BUT LIGHT WON'T STAY ON LONG ENOUGH TO GET CHECKED

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO SEVERAL SHOPS IN REGARDS TO MY HEADLIGHT AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. ONE HEADLIGHT IN OUT WHICH ARE MY LOW BEAMS. THE ENTIRE CAR HAS BEEN REWIRED AND STILL DOESN'T WORK. IT POPS ON AND OFF WHEN IT WANTS TO BUT STILL THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT DOES NOT WORK.

SOLD A LEMON CAR BY DRIVETIME FINANCED THROUGH BRIDGECREST FINANCIAL LLC I PURCHASED THE CAR 12/22/2016 AND HAVE BEEN REPORTING PROBLEMS SINCE I DROVE OFF THE LOT. I LIVE BEYOND 300 MILES OF THE LOCATION WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH DOWN HIGHWAY I5 AND MY SUNROOF EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. NOTHING HIT ME AND THERE WAS NO ROCK OR FOREIGN OBJECTS. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT OR EXPLOSION. IT OCCURRED YESTERDAY 10/19/2017 AROUND 3:25 PM OR SO. I WAS NOT PHYSICALLY HARMED, JUST FRIGHTENED AND GLAD MY KIDS WERE NOT IN THE CAR. THE BREAK IS OUTWARD NOT INWARD SO YOU KNOW IT DIDN'T COME FROM A FALLING OBJECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVIS GM IN POLAKA, FL, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO START. O'REILLEY AUTO PARTS IN WEST MEMPHIS, ARKANSAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A DELAY IN THE START UP MECHANISM ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED THE HESITATION. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AS IM TRAVELING TO MY MOTHERS HOUSE ON AUGUST 27 2017 MY ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND WOULDN'T START BACK UP. THE SAME WEEK IT WAS HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING OR WOULDN'T TURN OVER TO START. MY DAUGHTER DROVE MY CAR TO O'REALIYS AUTO PART STORE TO GET SOMETHING FOR HER CAR, GET IN TO LEAVE AND IT WOULDN'T START. A MECHANIC FROM THE STORE HOOKED IT TO THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND IT READ A DELAY IN THE START UP. HE START MOVING A COUPLE OF WIRES ON THE STARTER TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP AND IT DID. HE TOLD MY DAUGHTER DON'T CUT IT OFF UNTIL YOU GET HOME BECAUSE HE MAY DO IT AGAIN AND SUGGESTED I PUT A NEW STARTER ON IT. I TOOK HIS ADVICE AND BOUGHT ONE AND HAD IT INSTALLED THE SAME DAY. WHEN DONE IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS AND THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING IS WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR PROBLEMS WITH A 2010 BUICK LACROSS AND I WAS SHOCKED THAT PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR BUICKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS A SEROUS MATTER. SOMEONE OR A WHOLE FAMILY COULD BE KILLED BECAUSE THEIR BUICK HAS AN MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND BUICK IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. I AM ABOUSTLEY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY AFTER READING MANY PEOPLE PROBLEMS LIKE MINE. PLEASE HELP!

WHEN GARCIA BUICK IN SANTA FE NM DROVE MY CAR INTO THEIR SHOP THEY SAID THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR ALMOST RAN INTO A WALL. THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS TRACED TO A MALFUNCTIONING CHECK VALVE IN THE POWER BRAKE BOSTER PUMP INLET PIPE ASSEMBLY P/N 20935438. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN AND A HUGE SAFTEY PROBLEM. THE LOSS OF A VACUUM ASSIST DEVICE SHOULD NEVER ALLOW THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GO TO FLOOR AND NOT STOP THE CAR.

I NOTED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM REPORTED ON THE NHTSA SITE FOR THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. IT'S INCLUDED UNDER THE HEADING VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN THE PAST MONTH AND NOW NOTICE THAT EACH TIME I TRY TO MOVE MY FOOT FROM THE FOOT FEED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL MY FOOT CATCHES ON THE SIDE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT SEEMS TO ME TO BE AN OBVIOUS SAFETY RISK IN THAT IT TAKES ANOTHER MOVEMENT OF MY FOOT TO GET IT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWING MY RESPONSE TO BRAKE. I FEAR THAT IF I NEED TO STOP QUICKLY, I WILL EITHER MISS THE BRAKE PEDAL OR WILL HAVE A DELAY IN REACHING IT WHICH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF BRAKING QUICKLY IS NECESSARY TO AVOID A CRASH. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I MOVE MY FOOT FROM THE FOOT FEED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL!

A/C NEVER BLOWS COLD. ONLY HEAT, THE DEFOGGER DOESNT WORK PROPERLY AS A RESULT.

WE HAVE REPLACED 3 WHEEL BEARINGS IN THE 7 YEARS WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR. SEEMS LIKE A LOT.

SUNROOF DOES NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY. THE PART THAT LIFTS TO SLIDE BACK, OPENING THE SUNROOF, NO LONGER CLOSES FLUSH. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THE SECOND GLASS OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF HAS MOVED FORWARD. IT WILL OPEN BUT WILL NOT CLOSE. THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURS IN MOTION, IDLE OR PARKED.

TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENS WHETHER PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES.

THE ENGINE FAN WOULD COME ON AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A COUPLE DAYS, FINALLY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED RUNNING ON REDUCED POWER AND THE CAR OVERHEATED. A LEAK WAS FOUND IN A HOSE AND WAS REPLACED BUT YET THE CAR STILL CONTINUES TO OVERHEAT RAPIDLY.

WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/DASH AND HEADLIGHT/DAYTIME DRIVING LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY EITHER FLASH OFF AND ON OR SHUT OFF FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND COME BACK ON. THIS PROBLEM HAS BUILT UP OVER TIME AND THE RADIO HAS ALSO STARTED TO ALSO INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF AND ON CONJUNCTION WITH ALL THE LIGHTING. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN EVER THERE IS SOME KIND OF QUICK DRAW OF ELECTRICAL POWER, SUCH AS BRAKING, DOWNSHIFTING OF TRANSMISSION TO ACCELERATE, TURNING ON DEFROSTERS, OR SIMPLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS POWER LOSS ALSO AFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL AND WHEN POWER LOSS OCCURS IT WILL DISENGAGE. THIS DISTURBINGLY OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND POWER LOSS TO INSTRUMENT PANEL/DASH AND HEADLIGHT LEAVES ME IN COMPLETE DARKNESS FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS AT TIME. I HAVE NOT IDEA HOW FAST I'M GOING OF IF THE ROAD IS STILL IN FRONT OF ME. I NOTICE AN ISSUE WITH THE PREVIOUS BODY STYLE OF LACROSSE BUT NOT MINE. IF THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED FOR SEVERAL HOURS SOME THING OR SOME PROGRAM IS RESET AND THE ISSUE WILL STOP FOR ROUGHLY TWO WEEKS AND THEN START BACK UP, BUT SO FAR THE ISSUE SEEMS TO INTENSIFY UP RESTARTING AFTER THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED. THE DRIVETRAIN IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE POWER LOSS AND WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE DURING THE ILLUMINATION AND INSTRUMENTATION LOSS. THE ISSUE DOES SEEM TO REPEAT MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN IN TOWN WITH THE CONSTANT ACCELERATION AND BRAKING. ON THE INTERSTATE THE ISSUE WILL OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE CRUISING AND WHEN ACCELERATING OR BRAKING AND IF SOME DEVICE IS ACTIVATED SUCH AS DEFROSTERS, TURN SIGNALS, OR AIR CONDITIONING. WITH THE INTERMITTENT AND SO FAR SHORT NATURE OF THE POWER LOSS, I'M NOT ABLE TO ASCERTAIN IF ANY OTHER SYSTEMS ARE BEING AFFECTED AS OF YET. THE PROBLEM RESEMBLES ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY FAILURE, BUT BOTH WERE REPLACED AT THE ONSET OVER A YEAR AGO. VIDEOS OF THE CLUSTER ARE AVAILABLE BUT TOO LARGE TO ATTACH.

WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY STILL INTACT I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON SEVERAL TIMES. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING AND HAD IT RESET. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS I HAVE HAD IT COME ON MORE FREQUENTLY SINCE THEN AND NOW IT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR. WITH FRUSTRATING AMOUNTS OF TIME SPENT TO TRY TO DETERMINE WHAT THE ISSUE IS I FINALLY FOUND OUT THE TIMING CHAIN AND SEALS NEED TO BE REPLACED. ONE OF THE SYMPTOMS IS THAT THE OIL IN MY CAR IS NOT BEING DISTRIBUTED PROPERLY. THIS WOULD ALSO BE ONE OF THE REASONS I HAVE HAD TO ADD OIL BEFORE EVERY 3000 MILE OIL CHANGE BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR WILL START RUNNING HARD AND ACCELERATION IS HARDER. MANY TIMES I WOULD ONLY PUT 1500 MILES ON MY CAR AND MY OIL WOLD BE BONE DRY. PUT OIL IN AND IT GETS BETTER. IF I WOULDNT HAVE HAVE CAUGHT THIS MY ENGINE WOULD SURELY HAVE BEEN BLOWN. SO NOW 3 YEARS LATER I AM STUCK WITH THIS ISSUE WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOUND WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AS ALL THE SAME ISSUES WERE OCCURRING THEN AND NOW. I CANT SEEM TO ACCESS MY BUICK ACCOUNT ONLINE SURPRISINGLY BUT IT DID HAVE ALL MY SERVICE RECORDS PROVING MY ATTEMPTS WITH THEM. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY ISSUE, I KNOW THAT THE SAME VEHICLE JUST WITH A SAMLLER ENGINE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME THING. WHY NOT THE BIGGER ENGINE? I NOW HAVE A $2000 REPAIR TO MAKE NOT INCLUDING THE SEVERAL HUNDRED IT TOOK TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE THAT IS HAPPENING IN BUICKS OF THIS AGE AND NEWER BECAUSE IT IS HAPPENING ALOT.I HAVE MANY SERVICE RECEIPTS SHOWING THE PROCESS OF THIS AND ALSO THE DIAGNOSIS TODAY AND THEONE I WILL BE GETTING TOMORROW TO CONFIRM AND WILL BE GLAD TO FORWARD ON TO YOU IF NEEDED.

The contact owns a 2010 Buick Lacrosse. The contact stated that the passenger occupant sensor would fail to operate with an occupant in the seat. The contact also stated that the service air bag warning message would intermittently illuminate on the instrument panel while driving at various speeds, with a passenger seated in the seat. The dealer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance for the repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A RECALL LETTER ON THE THROTTLE SENSOR AND IF I HAVE ANY ISSUES PLEASE TAKE INTO A DEALER RIGHT AWAY I DID THIS IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 AND THEY SAID CODE DID NOT SHOW UP, SO 3 MONTHS LATER I HAVE SAME ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT GOING OVER 40 M.P.H AND MY ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. I HAVE 3 DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT SHOW THE THROTTLE SENSOR IS BAD I ALSO HAVE DOCUMENTATIONS OF THIS. I HAVE PAID A DEALER $100 DOLLARS TWICE FOR THEM TO TELL ME THE CODE STILL DID NOT SHOW UP SO THEY WON'T REPLACE THE RECALL. I HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE MYSELF AND PAID OUT OF MY POCKET BECAUSE THE CAR IS UN-DRIVABLE SINCE FEB 13TH 2017 I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH GM CUSTOMER CARE ON THIS ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME WITH ANYTHING. IF THIS IS A RECALL WHY AM I PUTTING OUT MONEY FOR A PART THAT IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST 4 MONTHS, FIRST TIME I WAS GOING 55 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER RIGHT AWAY. THE SECOND I WAS GETTING OFF THE HWY AND WAS ONLY A MILE FROM WORK AND WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO WORK. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ALMOST KILLED COMING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HWY WHEN I HAD TO DRIVE IN THE EMERGENCY LANE DOING 40 WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65 WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HWY AND TURN THE CAR OFF. I ALSO HAVE THE PART TO SHOW THAT IT IS BAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL STEERING ABILITY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO A MEDIAN. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS INJURED AND REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

TRUNK POPS OPEN ON ITS ON WITHOUT HITTING THE BUTTON ON THE REMOTE.

REDUCED ENGINE POWER-WHILE DRIVING 30MPH THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY REDUCE ENGINE POWER AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY VEHICLE 2 TWICE TO MAKE IT HOME SAFELY. GM HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT TO REPAIR 2010-2011 BUCK LACROSSE ONLY MANUFACTURED AT SPECIFIC PLANTS. GM DEALER STATES I HAVE SAME DEFECTIVE THROTTLE THAT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2010-2011 LACROSSE AND CAUSES THE ENGINE TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOWEVER GM IS SAYING THAT NO MATTER IF THE PART IS DEFECTIVE IT MATTERS WHICH PLANT MADE MY CAR AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE TAKE AN EXTEND WARRANTY. MY CAR JUST REACHED 52K MILES THIS MONTH AND I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN'S LIVES BY THIS HAPPENING TO ME OVER 10 TIMES IN 2 WEEKS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE THE GEAR SHIFTER STICK WAS IN THE REVERSE POSITION AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. A MAINTENANCE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT KNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

ON FRIDAY, JULY 1, 2016 I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A 2 LANE ROAD WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL SET WHEN MY CAR SUFFERED A LOSS OF POWER. THE ENGINE STILL WAS RUNNING, BUT APPARENTLY MY TRANSMISSION LOST THE ABILITY TO POWER THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO PARK ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, AND EVENTUALLY, TOWED TO MY MECHANICS SHOP. YESTERDAY I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION CONTROL AND IT WILL COST ME $1060 TO REPAIR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON ENOUGH PROBLEM THAT BUICK DEALERS KEEP THE PART IN STOCK.. IF IT IS THAT COMMON OF A PROBLEM, AND CARS ARE LOSING POWER ON THE ROAD, THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO RECALL, INSTEAD OF TAKING HARD EARNED MONEY OUT OF OWNERS POCKETS TO FIX! I MIGHT ADD THAT THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 68,000 MILES ON IT!

DRIVER SEAT MOVES OUT OF POSITION BY ITSELF,I JUST HAD THE STABILI TRAK LIGHT COME ON WHICH IN TURN SHUT OFF MY ABS I HAD REPLACED THE BAD BEARING TODAY BUT WAS TOLD THE OTHER 3 WILL NEED IT ALSO AS THIS BEARING IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AS THEY FALL APART SHUTTING OFF YOU ABS SYSTEM.THIS IS NOT A CHEAP VEHICLE TO PURCHASE I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE MY ALL WHEEL DRIVE PUMP WHICH WAS VERY COSTLY I BELIEVE GM SHOULD RECALL THE WHEEL BEARINGS ON THESE VECHILES BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT! I LIKE GM BUT YOU HAVE DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE!!

GM 3.6 L VVT TIMING CHAIN ISSUE I WAS DRIVING OUR '10 BUICK LACROSSE (WITH 65,340 MI) ONE EVENING AND THE CAR'S FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO POWER DOWN, AND DID SO FOR ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. IT THEN RAN NORMAL FOR ABOUT 75 YARDS AND THE DISPLAY SHOWED LOW ENGINE POWER MESSAGE WITH THE EXCLAMATION POINT. I PULLED OFF ON A SIDE STREET AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I TRIED TO RESTART IT, BUT IT WOULD NOT FIRE. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE NEXT DAY THAT I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR THAT WOULD RUN $6800. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK HOME AND WHILE CALLING AROUND TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS FOR ENGINE QUOTES, I FOUND A DEALERSHIP THAT ASKED ME IF THEY COULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THY RIGHT AWAY SAID IT DID NOT SOUND LIKE MY ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THEIR DEALERSHIP AND DISCOVERED THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT WHEN IT BROKE, IT DAMAGED THE REAR VALVES AND ONE OF THE HEADS. THE TOTAL COST WAS ABOUT $3250. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY WILL NOT OFFER ANY HELP ON THE REPAIRS.

SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON AS SOON AS WHEELS ARE TURNED AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THIS STARTED OUT HAPPENING VERY OCCASIONALLY, BUT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. I CAN DRIVE SEVERAL BLOCKS STRAIGHT ON WITHOUT THE WARNING, BUT AS SOON AS THE WHEELS ARE TURNED, THE WARNING MESSAGE COMES ON, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ARE AUTOMATICALLY TURNED OFF. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AT 70K MILES, THIS STARTED ABOUT 2 MOS AFTER PURCHASE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALERSHIPS THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE FRONT WHEELS IN THIS VEHICLE, THAT IT'S A "KNOWN ISSUE", AND IS ABOUT $500 PER WHEEL TO FIX. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, THEN WHY HASN'T BUICK ISSUED A RECALL? I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS ONLINE WHERE PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. NOT SURE WHY THEY AREN'T REPORTING IT TO NHTSA!!! THIS COULD CAUSE ALOT OF ACCIDENTS IF THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ARE TURNED OFF! ATTACHED PHOTO WAS TAKEN WITH VEHICLE SITTING STILL IN DRIVEWAY, JUST STARTED, NO MESSAGES, TURNED STEERING WHEEL AND THE WARNING LIGHTS THEN LIT UP ON DASHBOARD, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS TURNED OFF (AS INDICATED BY LIGHTS).

THREE DAYS AGO, WHILE ON A TRIP FROM THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA TO THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA; AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, THE WARNING BELLS STARTED DINGING AND THE MESSAGES: SERVICE STABILITRAK, ABS, AND PARK ASSIST OFF KEPT FLASHING OFF AND ON; THE CAR BEGAN JERKING AND LOSING ENGINE POWER; THE TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES WERE JUMPING AROUND ALL OVER THE PLACE; AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. (A VIDEO OF WHAT OCCURRED WAS TAKEN TO SHOW AS PROOF). I MANAGED TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND SAT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THEN STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. LESS THAN A MINUTE AFTER I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SAME EVENTS OCCURRED AGAIN. AFTER AT LEAST 30 MINUTES OR MORE OF THE CAR CONTINUING TO MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING; IT SUDDENLY STOPPED GIVING ME WARNING SIGNALS AND ENGINE POWER SEEMED TO STABILIZE; HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. ONCE I REACHED MY DESTINATION, I DIDN'T USE THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS. MY RETURN TRIP HOME, WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY 140 MILES, WAS UNEVENTFUL; HOWEVER, THE VERY NEXT MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE WARNING BELLS SUDDENLY STARTED RINGING AGAIN, AND THE SERVICE STABILITRAK AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK AND CALLED THE BUICK DEALER TO BRING MY CAR IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED. IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 3 TO 4 TIMES, BUT EACH TIME ONLY LASTED MOMENTS AND NEVER TO THE EXTREME THAT IT DID . I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM BUICK ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO THAT PERTAINED TO SUCH ISSUES AND LOSS OF ENGINE POWER; AND THE LETTER STATED THAT THE CAR SHOULD BE TAKEN TO THE BUICK DEALER AND REPAIRED AT NO COST. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY.

OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, WHILE DRIVING, THE SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT COMES ON; THE ABS & PARK ASSIST LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF; MY RPM, SPEEDOMETER, & TEMPERATURE GAUGES GO HAYWIRE; AND THE ENGINE LOSES POWER CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. ON 3/18/16, I WAS PUT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ACROSS THE STATE OF FLORIDA ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY THAT HAD NO SAFE PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AND STAYED ON THRU THE REST OF MY DRIVE. TWO DAYS LATER, THE DRIVE HOME WAS INCIDENT FREE & THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS GONE. ON 3/22/16 I TOOK THE CAR TO A GM DEALER; SHOWED THE SERVICE TECH A VIDEO OF THE EVENTS HAPPENING AS I WAS DRIVING AND A LETTER I GOT FROM GM REGARDING A POSSIBLE THROTTLE SENSOR PROBLEM THAT CAUSES REDUCED POWER AND MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMPS TO APPEAR. THE GM DEALER TECH SAID MY CARS PROBLEMS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH GM'S LETTER AND HE WAS 90% SURE MY FUEL INJECTOR NEEDED REPLACING. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY PERSONAL AUTO MECHANIC FOR 10+ YRS, WHO WORKS FOR A VERY REPUTABLE COMPANY, FOR A SECOND OPINION. SINCE THE CODES HAD BEEN CLEARED BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT AND THE CAR CHECKED OUT OK MY MECHANIC SAID TO DRIVE IT AND BRING IT BACK IF THE PROBLEMS OCCURRED AGAIN. IT RECENTLY STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN & MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC WHO FOUND MULTIPLE CODES FOR ECM & TCM LOST COMMUNICATION PCM MALFUNCTION & OTHER COMMUNICATION ISSUES. HE DROVE THE CAR AND EXPERIENCED WHAT I WAS EXPLAINING WAS HAPPENING. MY MECHANIC COULDN'T PINPOINT THE PROBLEM BUT SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM; THAT IT'S ELECTRICAL. HE SUGGESTED WE TAKE THE CAR TO ANOTHER BUICK DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION & I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR SINCE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE PROBLEMS WILL START HAPPENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND IN THE PROCESS OF ACCELERATION. THE ISSUE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TIMING CHAIN FAILURE @ 78263 MILES. VEHICLE DISPLAYED ENGINE TROUBLE LIGHT AND WAS STILL DRIVABLE. WAS TOLD IT WOULD HAVE STOPPED WITHOUT REPAIRS. CONTACTED LOCAL DEALER AND BUICK CUSTOMER SERVICE AND BOTH ENTITIES DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT DUE TO VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY. I REFERENCED TSB 11340A WHERE GM EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE TO OTHER MODELS WITH TIMING CHAIN ISSUES, BUT NOT THE 2010 LACROSSE, IN MY COMMUNICATIONS WITH THEM. I APPEALED TO GM PRESIDENT AND THE STATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIVISION WHERE I LIVE. GM HAS CLOSED THE FILE ON MY CASE THOUGH I ASKED FOR CONFIRMATION THAT THE SUPPLIER OF THE ENGINE IN THE 2010 LACROSSE WAS NOT THE SAME AS IN THE ENGINES OF THE VEHICLES REFERENCED IN THE TSN 11340A.

TAKATA RECALL PURCHASED USED IN MAY 2015 WITH APPROX. 45K MILES. SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR, I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN KOKOMO IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT FOR THE PARK ASSIST. WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, USUALLY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, GOING 60+ DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE PARK ASSIST COMES ON, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLASH AND ALL THE SOUNDS GO OFF IN THE CAR IMMEDIATELY DISABLING THE CAR. AT THAT POINT, THE CAR DISABLES ITSELF AND YOU CANNOT PUSH THE ACCELERATOR, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. YOU HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURN THE CAR OFF. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES, YOU CAN START THE CAR UP AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL BE DISPLAYED. THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON UNTIL THE NEXT TIME YOU START THE CAR AND THEN GOES OFF. OVER THE LAST YEAR, I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP IN KOKOMO COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THEY STATED THEY CANNOT TRY TO FIND SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR IF IT ISN'T HAPPENING WHEN I BRING IN THE CAR. I MOVED TO TENNESSEE THE FIRST OF JANUARY 2016. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME SINCE LIVING HERE AGAIN SO I TOOK THE CAR INTO PARKS AUTO SERVICE IN COLUMBIA TN. AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR 2 1/2 WEEKS, THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE THUS FAR TO NOT GET INTO A BAD WRECK LOSING MY LIFE OR CRASHING INTO SOMEONE ELSE AND KILLING THEM. AT SOME POINT, THIS WILL CAUSE A MAJOR WRECK AND LIVES COULD POSSIBLY BE LOST OR SOMEONE COULD POSSIBLY BE DISABLED THE REST OF MY LIFE. AT WHAT POINT DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE BUICK WILL FIND AN ANSWER FOR THIS? I NEED HELP ON THIS AS THERE ARE NO MECHANICS THAT CAN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO WINNER CHEVROLET WHO THOUGHT THEY FIXED IT, AS SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALER IT DID IT AGAIN. AFTER 7 DAYS OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A BUICK DEALER. RELIABLE BUICK OF ROSEVILLE HAD THE CAR FOR 9 DAYS, THEY WERE CONSULTING WITH BUICK TECHS, THOUGHT THEY FINALLY FIXED IT, BROUGHT IT HOME YESTERDAY AND IT JUST DID IT AGAIN. I'VE NOTICED A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND ALSO THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2012 BUICK LACROSSE FOR THIS. RECALL #11222. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY CAR CURRENTLY IS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND THERE IS A FAN BLOWING. IT HAS BEEN BLOWING THE PAST HOUR. I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT OTHER CARS ARE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUES. THEY STATE THE CAUSE IS THE WATER PUMP. I PLAN ON TAKING MY CAR TO THE SHOP TOMORROW FOR A EVALUATION. I HOPE THAT I DON'T WAKE UP TOMORROW AND THE ENGINE FAN IS STILL RUNNING.

I WAS GETTING ON THE ON RAMP FOR THE INTERSTATE AND GRADUALLY ATTEMPTING TO GAINING SPEED TO BUT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED.I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WITH NO PICK UP. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO PICK UP SPEED. WHEN THE VEHICLE GOT UP TO APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH IT BEGAN TO DO THE SAME THING AGAIN I HAD THE ACCELERATER PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I COULD HERE THE VEHICLE IDLING AND AFTER SOME TIME HAD PASSED IT BEGAN TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN. I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR FOUR YEARS AND HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALER SHIP. I HAVE PAID FOR DIAGNOSTICS SEVERAL TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT MORE THAN 5 TIMES IN AN ATTEMPT TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM WITH NO SUCCESS. IT'S NOT A CONSTANT THING, HOWEVER IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS AS WELL AS UNSETTLING NOT KNOWING WHEN OR WHERE MY SAFETY MAY BE COMPRISED IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS MY SECOND BUICK LACROSSE WHICH HAS HAD PROBLEMS OF THIS NATURE. I WAS HOPING MY PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 BUICK LACROSSE WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT BUT I'M BEGINNING TO THINK PERHAPS IT WASN'T. MAYBE THIS CAN ALL BE ATTRIBUTED TO JUST POOR WORKMANSHIP WITH INFERIOR PRODUCT MANUFACTURING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THIS MORNING DOING ABOUT 60MPH IN TRAFFIC AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR LOST POWER. THE DASH OR THE DIC WENT COMPLETELY BLANK, BUT NOT BEFORE ALL OF THE CHIMES, AND THE CAUTION ALERTS APPEARING AND THEN I STARTED TO LOOSE SPEED. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. AT THAT POINT I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AFTER A MINUTE I RESTARTED IT AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO WORK. THIS SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2014. COINCIDENTLY I WAS ON THE FREEWAY THEN TOO. BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK IN NOVEMBER WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO UNLESS I WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. BUT OF COURSE I CAN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE AND NOW FOUR MONTHS LATER IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME REASON. *TR

TOOK MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE, MY WIFE DROVE IT HOME, THE CAR DIED AFTER 8 MILES. SHE SLOWED FOR STOP LIGHT, CAR SUDDENLY DIED. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT CRAZY, CAR LOST POWER, DIED. I BACKTRACKED TO HELP,. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR BUT DIDN'T HAVE ANY COMPRESSION. I CALLED DEALER, THEY SENT TOLL TRUCK. ACCORDING TO THEM, THEY CHECKED IT, DROVE IT A FEW TIMES, SAID COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, CALLED GM FOR HELP. THE DEALER'S SERVICE REP SAID GM TOLD THEM HEARD OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS IN LACROSSE. GM RECOMMENDED THEY APPLY LUBRICANT CABLES CONNECTING TO ECM. DID SO. HAD 3 PEOPLE TEST DRIVE CAR, SAID OPERATING FINE. RECEIVED CALL FROM DEALER STATING PROBLEM CORRECTED,CAR GOOD TO GO. PICKED UP CAR IN COMPANY MECHANIC FRIEND. REP EXPLAINED WHAT THEY DID, CHECKED ALL ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS, BREAKERS, CONNECTIONS, ETC AND EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE WORKING FINE. TOLD HIM THAT MY WIFE DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR NOW BECAUSE OF INCIDENT AND HE SAID CAR SHOULD BE FINE FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS. I ASKED WHAT IF FIX IDIDN'T WORK? HE SAID THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY REQUIRE A NEW ECM. WELL, CAR DIED AGAIN YESTERDAY, APRIL 4, ABOUT 1:30 PM WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE TO OUR SON'S HOUSE. WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MILES/HR AFTER EXITING HIGHWAY, CAR STARTING STALLING, JERKING AND ALL OF THE CONSOLE LIGHTS WERE GOING CRAZY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, A SERVICE STABILITY TRACK WARNING AND THE KEY SYMBOL APPEARED ON CENTER CONSOLE, IT DIED COMPLETELY. TRIED RESTARTING IT BUT IT WOULDN'T. WAITED FOR TRAFFIC TO PASS, THEN I ROLLED CAR BACKWARDS TOWARD THE CURB TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC LANES. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THEN STARTED THE CART AGAIN. I WENT A FEW HUNDRED FEET, THEN IT DIED AGAIN. I DID THIS 3 MORE TIMES UNTIL GETTING TO MY SON'S HOUSE WHERE I WAS ABLE TO PARK IT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD ALREADY CLOSED. *TR

THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH THE CAR SHUTTING OFF COMPLETLY WHILE DRIVING OR LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. *TR

ENGINE QUIT CAUSING BRAKES AND STEERING TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THIS TO NHTSA AND GENERAL MOTORS.I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM GM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER AND THE ONLY THING THEY DID WAS REPROGRAM THE VEHICLE BUT APPARENTLY IT DID NO GOOD. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS IN THE IGNITION SYSTEM. *TR

2010 BUICK LUCERNE REAR FUSE BLOCK MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUGHT FIRE *CN

PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM DUE TO DEFECTIVE HUB BEARING. *TR

APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING A BUICK LACROSSE I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED OR IDLE. SHORTLY AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DECIDED TO GET A SECOND OPINION SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER CERTIED REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I GET AND UPPER ENGINE FLUSH. SUPPOSEDLY BECAUSE THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE IS KNOWN FOR MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF CARBON BUILD UP. SO, I GOT THE UPPER ENGINE FLUSH ON MY VEHICLE BUT THE VERY NEXT DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THE. MACHANIC ADVISED ME THAT IT WOULD TAKE MORE THAN ONE ENGINE FLUSH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SO AFTER NOT TWO BUT THREE UPPER ENGINE FLUSHES THE PROBLEM OF HAVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAY IS NOT RESOLVED . NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND A DIAGNOSIS FOR MY VEHICLE PROBLEMS NOT EVEN THE DEALER. MOST RECENTLY, THE DASH BOARD DISPLAY LIGHT PERIODICALLY GOES OUT, AND AN UNFAMILIAR NOISE IS COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S FRONT TIRE. ONCE AGAIN, I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MACHANIC AND THE ISSUE IS NOT DETECTABLE.
