general problems of the 2005 Buick Lacrosse

While driving the car down the road it will "randomly" shut off. Giving no indication other then dimming lights. Neither the dealership or the garage I went to can explain it. The power steering doesnt work and has almost caused me to crash on the highway and town roads.

I smell something like burning wires. The transmission light is on. Automatic shifting jerks. I am afraid of being stranded somewhere. I am 70 years old and need my car to be reliable.

"takata recall" we bought a used 2005 Buick Lacrosse for our son in April 2016; at first it ran perfect and then we noticed a thump when changing gears (automatic transmission). Two weeks ago my son was going to the store and "drive" stopped working. Now it is sitting in the yard and will only go into 1st and 2nd gear and reverse. It will not go into drive.

While sitting at red light would not move on green, had checked could not find problem. Then during merging onto highway lost all power, almost got hit. Then starting surging. To dealer again, could find no problem. Kept acting up, it was the transmission again. This is the 2nd rebuild on this very much used transmission model in gm vehicles.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Buick Lacrosse. The contact stated that on August 24, 2014, while driving approximately sixty-five mph, the vehicle power steering wheel and brakes locked up . The contact stated that the vehicle ran into the concrete divider and the air bags had not deployed. The contact stated that she had back pain, knee and neck pain. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was totaled and towed to a wreckage yard by a private tow company (aaa). The contact stated that she received a recall notification after the accident had occurred; she received a recall notification on August 29, 2014 with NHTSA campaign number: 14v355000. Bd.

This is the fifth (5th) time the rack and pinion has gone out on this vehicle in the past three months - may 2013 through July 2013. This does not make any sense - the vehicle was repaired with "genuine gm parts" and still continues to go out in about a week after install. When is someone going to address this issue? I send complaint after complaint to you and to the Buick people and nothing is being done. What good does it do to keep sending complaints to your agency? what good does it do to send complaints to Buick and general motors - nothing is going to happen, nothing is going to be fixed. Bah!!!!!!! I will definitely never purchase another american vehicle again! nothing but the runaround. If my name was shaquille o'neal they would be sending me a brand new vehicle to shut me up.

Car was repaired Thursday, June 27, 2013, picked up on Thursday, June 27, 2013, rack and pinion went out Friday night, June 28, 2013 for the fourth (4th) time in less than two months. Something needs to be done about this defect. There was no warning, steering got tight, pulled over and checked the fluid, was empty, put some more in and it poured out the bottom on the driver's side. Just like the other three times.

My son was driving and the rack and pinion went out again. This is the third time in two months. Something needs to be done about this vehicle before something serious happens like lost of life.

Consumer complaint concerning 2005 Lacrosse would not accelerate.
