My tcs & abs lights will not go off. I am unable to get a lot of power after stopping & my cruise control will not engage. ??? this seems to be a very common problem in all Buick Lacrosses. Recall?????.
My car shuts down while driving. My dash will display "service traction control system, reduced power, starting disable" I must pull off the road; car shuts down, now it has trouble restarting after this occurs. My computer doesn't retain the codes for this issue. My dealer mechanic & personal mechanic cannot find the problem. Have spent $1000 within the past 2 months on this. Still not fixed. Dangerous to drive this car. Occurs intermittently; no pattern. I am paying for a car I cannot drive. Very upsetting. Please help.
The drivers door fails to unlock with car in park and ignition off. An internet search indicates this is a common issue with this vehicle. This issue is not addressed by gm.
While running vehicle ignition switch went off and car was left without power steering and no motor power. I have to make a complete stop in order to start the car again. It all happens after getting my car to GMC campaign 14299.
Gm sent out a recall for the Buick Lacrosse 2005. The recall was to fix an issue that caused the car to switch off at random while running causing for potential crash and lack of airbags to work and other possible hazards. They recommended that we take any things off of the key ring other than the key when in drive. I had never experienced the issue of my car turning off on its own previous to receiving this recall. Being proactive I took my car to the wilkins GMC Buick dealership located at 6913 ritchie highway, glen burnie, MD 21061 in order to have the recall serviced. While having the recall fixed I found out from a service worker at the dealership that the recall fix is only a change in the key. Once the recall fix was completed I left and a week later had the issue of the car turning off while driving occur. I called the dealership to see if they would like to take a look at the key to ensure the fix was properly done, they informed me it was properly done and no need to come in. I then called gm corporate and was told they have no recall on the ignition part (the real problem) and the key should have fixed the issue. I was given no assistance for the true cause of the problem and am very disappointed in the lack of quality and quality assurance from this company. My car has progressively gotten worse and now will barely stay on without the key turning to the off position. I have done research and spoken with many mechanics with all of the information pointing to the need for a new proper recall on the ignition itself and not the key.
The vehicle was being driven at night when suddenly the headlights went out causing the driver to leave the road as he was going thru a turn at the time. Luckily no one was injured and the car only suffered minor damage. It had to be pulled out of the ditch. After the car was driven home less than a mile away, I opened the hood and saw that the fuse box had caught on fire and a portion melted. This also damaged the wiring connected to the fuse box. I am not sure what other components have failed as a result because the vehicle has not been operable since. I am currently trying to get the vehicle repaired and have spent $300 and countless hours on labor so far. This same problem is currently being investigated on 2006 and up Buick Lacrosse's. I would like for the 2005 models to be included in the pending recall. The vehicle was purchased six months prior to the failure for $8,000 and now I am not sure it will ever run again.
I was on my way back home which is rochester, NY. I was coming from porsmouth, va. From burring my mother which she pass on June 3, 2014. I had a car accident on June 22, 2014. A car was comming over into my lane from the left lane cut me short, I tried not to hit the the car turn my car to the right but the car hit my car and made my car go out of control went to the left and hit the center concrete barrier with the left front portion of my car, then I veered across both lanes and struck the east rock embankment before my car coming to rest in the left lane of travel facing north. The crash occurred northbound on l-476 PA turnpike at 0850 hours. My daughter and I was hurt in that crash. We went to the hospital we had to do therphy and as of September 25 2014 I am still going to therphy. The car that I was in the crash with was my Buick Lacrosse 2005. The car key jump out of the ignition on top of the dashboard and the key was bent into the shape of a horse shoe and my car was total in that crash.
Both outside door handles on left driver side and back passenger side have fallen apart when opened. Each occurrences has happened at different times. About a year apart. My concern is what if there was an accident with children in the back seat and I was unable to open the door. Same with the driver side. I have been driving 65 years and never had door handles fall apart. (more cheap quality we pay for). This can't be happening to just me!!.
Buick Lacrosse cxl experiencing problems with the onstar system. Onstar had come on when the consumer did not activate it. The vehicle was parked. The next morning when the vehicle was started, on star had come on and continued with "onstar ready-goodbye," and would not stop even when turned off.

The consumer returned the vehicle to the dealership and antoher vehicle was ordered, howver before the consumer could even get the vehicle off the lot the on star system failed on that vehicle as well.
