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.

My steering seems to be loose way to much play I've tightened a bolt on bottom of steering arm thing twice still is coming loose difficult to steer also seems to be missing rubber or defective prices . Will crash can't control car . Stability control issues over and over also tc. And air bags are faulty. In motion major steering prob.

Sway bar cracked both ends. This repair shop claims they replace 2-3 sway bars on gm vehicles per month.

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.

My complaint is a duplicate of all the other steering complains. It has a crunching-grinding sound and it is getting worse. It started at about 41,000 miles. I see that it started much earlier with many other Lacrosse's. What is wrong with you gm??? why is there not a recall on this. I just purchased this vehicle from a reputable dealer and of course it started just three months after. I even purchased the extended warranty which of course does not cover this. I cannot afford to fix this. I have never owned a gm before and thought that this could be my lucky car. Wrong.

The contact owns a 2005 Buick Lacrosse. While driving approximately 55 mph, the steering wheel and front end of the vehicle began to shake. The contact also stated that the vehicle veered to the right. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired, but the repairs were unknown and the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

I have 53000 miles on this car and it's been clunking every time I turn the steering wheel left or right. I'm told this is a problem with the intermediate shaft. I'll be getting it repaired as soon as possible. Shame on gm. That said, I'll guess im going with Toyota or Honda!!.

Buick made noise when turning a corner with around 30,000 miles on car. The steering intermediate shaft had to be replaced which cured the problem. It could have been lubricated instead, but this would have only been a temporary solution. There is a bulletin on this defect, but we feel that gm should have recalled this model, rather than lubricating the shafts until the warranty had expired. This noise had been noticed long before this; however it didn't always occur every corner so had to wait until it was ongoing to locate the problem.

Power steering went out completely, no warning just out. Had a very hard time steering car. Lucky know one was hurt.

2005 Buick Lacrosse had only 24,000 miles and experienced difficulty turning the steering wheel. Made a grinding sound. Dealer replaced intermediate steering shaft. Within 4 months, steering difficulty returned with rumbling and whining noise.

I've been experiencing a crunching sound in my steering when turning the wheel left or right. I've told I have a problem with the intermediate steering shaft. I've also been told by other gm owners with other type vehicles that they did or are now having the same problem. Why has gm not addressed this problem when they perfectly know they have a part failure why should we the consumer have to pay for this defective part? it's time someone addresses this ongoing problem.
