Today is 8. 26. 2025, I took this car back and left it w/dealership: let them figure it out! I told them 0ne month after purchase this car is constantly empty with no/oil. I should not be getting oil changes this often. "OH, it just burns more oil and you bought a used car". . . Months later I hear smalls sounds, engine light comes on, then goes away, smoke begans to continue spreading behind the bumper building a permanent black spot on bumper! it smells, from time to time, plus car feels sluggish when driving past 50mph almost scared it will cut off** now, I gather my funds that I don't have to spend (cash) no creditcard and I proceed to belle tire! I am on file within their system. (receipts) they do what they do. . . Apparently no leaks. But the car is burning too much oil!! too fast! "keep an eye on your levels". . . Hmmm* I also got a maintenance tune-up on my next visit. So far roughly $2000 has been spent towards this vehicle (Buick). (new battery also) plus aaa cost *I have a membership* now time continues to move forward this car knocking,clouds of smoke, in the car, outside the car, around the car, thru the vents, pulling, stahling, knocking, clunck,clunck,; embarassing!!! my son and I, OH no. . . The meat inside a barbecue grill* drop off/ASAP (pulled over called aaa). (7/24/2024 - 8/25/2025)owned this car 1yr!! I need a new car they wont give me one. . . I made every monthly payment on time all by western union (receipts). I go into the same store each month 19th -22nd and pay. They don't want to trade-in either*.
Driveing on hwy at 68 mph sudenly lost power stearing and all power to everything could not use windows or open doors cause could not unlock could not even turn hasard lights on very danerous.
Cuts off while driving.
Battery isn't charging, car will stall frequently. Has been happening for a while, but has gotten increasingly worse over the last two months.
Vehicle will randomly make a double bong signal with no associated warning lights. Sounds is not the same as a seat belt sound. Will occur under variable conditions, moving stopped turning, highways, city streets etc. Has been occurring for an extended period of time and can occur multiple times a driving period. (ie different times yesterday) sound appears to predominantly be concentrated on right side of car but has appeared to come from directly in front of driver position a couple of times. Concerned it could be a safety condition. Unable to replicate to dealership since occurrences are random but ongoing .
Purchased car a little over two years ago and in that time it has been in the shop for repairs numerous times. The problems that continues to occur is the check engine light comes on and the car cannot stay running. It loses power at stop lights, been pushed at gas stations and has even stopped running pulling onto the interstate. Taken it to the Buick dealership and each time they claim to have "fixed" it. This car was in the shop two weeks ago exactly and the check engine light is back on and the car continues to stop running (full tank of gas) for no reason. I do not have an additional car to drive, so when it is in the shop I have to rent one or borrow one, along with the costs to get this car "fixed" I am looking at about four thousand dollars since November 2015. The Buick dealership in twin falls, idaho needs to figure out what is wrong with this car and get it fixed for good. This is not ok. Who spends this much money on a 2013 car, only to have repair bills and a car that is still not fixed! on a side note, weren't a large majority of 2013 Buick Lacrosse's recalled? if so, I have never been notified. Shame on you Buick for selling such a poor running and unsafe care and shame on rob green Buick in twin falls, idaho for not fixing a problem after our car has been in your shop at least four times since November 2015 for the same problems that have been reported time and time again.

She reached over inside the car and pushed the ignition button to stop the motor ( while standing outside the car )the car rolled back pulling her under it running her over and killed her. I was knocked down by the door and drug into the street.
2013 Buick Lacrosse. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle rear view camera problems. The consumer stated when the vehicle was put in reverse, the image on the navigator screen was supposed to show a yellow guideline to assist in orienting the vehicle when it was being backed up. The guidelines were a critical feature of the rear view camera. The vehicle was missing those guidelines. The consumer contacted the local and national gm representatives and they refused to correct the safety problem. A fully functional rear view camera is a safety necessity with the vehicle, since it has a very small narrow back window. Compounding the problem was the unreliability of the navigation screen. The consumer had to take the vehicle to the dealer to have the navigation system fixed to function properly. When the navigation system went blank, the rear view camera did not work.
