Vehicle cuts off after driving for about an hour and a half or two after it gets hot from driving. Then have to wait a while like 10 15 minutes for everything to cool down and it will start back up again no problem. Drive 5 minutes more shuts down repeatedly. When it shuts down the dashboard displays service stabilitrak control and service anti theft deterrent system. Note. I've put a new starter on. A new throttle body. Mass airflow sensor. Upstream oxygen sensor. Changed the oil, checked wires. Changed the cabin air filter. Still not fixed. No service engine lights what so ever. Service stabilitrak and anti theft is all it's showing.

I was driving my car down a interstate highway when all of a sudden the stability track can on my dash and the car freaked out and breaked really hard ! I stated to spin out and then a loud crack the lower control arm broke on the rear right side . We almost really lost our lives! this is the 12 time this has happen and the mechanics tell me nothing is wrong they can see!! I'm taking it to Buick to see what they say this should be recalled ASAP! somebody will get severely hurt soon omg.

While driving to work going approximately 55mph in my 2014 Buick Lacrosse I lost all power steering. The stabilatrac indicator came along with a service abs brake light. I was not able to set cruise control as well. I was able to make it to work and had to have the vehicle towed for safety reasons.

I was driving down a highway when out of no where my 2012 Buick lacross had an engine reduced speed signal come on and I checked the menu to see what it was about and it said the stability track needed to be serviced and I googled what this meant and on google, google read that other Buick lacross of the same year had a recall when I called about the recall for my car I was told that my car hasn't had any recalls when I just read on google that the same car and year had a recall for the same problem.

Loss of electrical power while driving. I have a 2011 Buick Lacrosse which has had multiple problems since I purchased. I have spent thousands trying to get fixed from the dealership to other certified auto technicians and I continue to have issues. Fri, 2/14/2020 I almost loss my life. My car dashboard started going black as I drove up to ramp onto the interstate it completely loss power and veered off the road into the grass. I was seconds away from the interstate!.

On 1/22/2020 when I was driving down the road my stabilitrac light came on causing my car to slow down to 25 mph. Wouldn't go faster than that. . I took the battery cables off for about 20 min. And the stabilitrac light came off so I drove the care home and right before I got home it came on again. Also in 1/20/2020 my left headlight. Does not work. I put a knew light bulb on and it worked for a few days and it went out again.

I was on the highway on the interior lane at 75 mph when all the sudden I got a audible and visual alarm indicating steering failure. I then got the same for stabiltrak failure. The steering assist was obviously gone immediately and the car started floating back and forth. I had my wife and 92 year old mother-in -law with me and it was misting heavily so I carefully continued to drive at a reduced speed. I took the car in and they said the steering was not getting electricity. Also, they said the passenger side rear wheel sensor went out which caused the back and forth motion. The car dealership wants to charge me $3400 for the repairs. I see that there were recalls on other gm products for the steering on similar models I. E. Cadillac etc. I found several instances online for Buick Lacrosse but for some reason not all were reported. I bought this certified vehicle may 2018 with 19,520 mi. Which is at around 42,500 mi. Now. I am very concerned about the safety of this product in the future and would like for n. H. T. S. A to take another look at this steering issue and why these two issues with the sensor and the steering occurring at the same time.

This is a hazardous issue. I can be driving and the car stalls out engine reduce, traction light comes on, and everything starts to act up. The heat stops working as well.

In 2018 the air went out in the vehicle and then the abs light cane on. A few days later the check engine light was displayed and then the next day the battery completely died. I took it to the shop and had it fixed. They said that battery was missing a cell and they replaced the battery, fixed the air conditioning basically fixed all issues. Fast forward to a year to the date the same issue started again in that order. The car has officially cut off and I searched and there are no open recalls coming up for my VIN number.

My vehicle stalled out while I was on the express way. Then it would not start without a jump. Check engine light came on along with traction control light. Computer put out a code p062f. Now I have to get a jump almost every other day.

My 2012 Buick Lacrosses newest problem is one that actually scares me. I can be driving along at 65 miles an hour and it will kinda jerk a couple of times, then usually it will flash 'service the stability track' then I lose power steering and it dies. I'm lucky if I can make it to the side of the road. I live in a rural area and the highways around here are two lane with minimum shoulders. So when the car does this it is dangerous. It has happened 5 times now. It will restart after about 15-30 minutes and drive just fine. I've taken it to a mechanic and nothing shows up on the computer, everything looks good. But its not, this is by far the worst of the problems I've experienced with this car and there have been quite a few.

Federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 103 winshield defrosting and defogging system and I don't know if its effecting my a/c to I have taken it everywhere to get fix and no one fixes it completely stills blow cool not cold like it is supposed to.

Vehicle stalls and is stopping after the stabilitrak light comes on on the free way and streets. Have taken to dealership several of times to be fixed but the problem comes right back within days. The problem has been persistent since 11/2018 and still has not been able to be fixed as if 5/2019.

Power drop ,engine stop run as you go down the road at night,everything shut down it take fifteen minute to restart, the steering jerk and the did no work its was lock that was at 35 miles hour. Took its in to see what was wrong its was diagnostic with bcm malfunction,low voltage of communication andeprom errors,multiple codes. On the highway and turning.

2nd time in less than a year the stability control sensor has failed. Cost is over 500. 00 each repair.

Takata recall. As I was driving on the highway my vehicle slowed down on its own in the midst of 70 mph traffic and as I pushed on brakes my vehicle jerked. When I tried to speed back up my car slowly accelerated. I was terrified when it slowed down because the car behind me almost hit me. My car is now give me a warning sign �stabilize track assist� but I had my breaks check and they were fine. Now I start to smell a burning smell sometimes when I'm driving.

The car stops running it shuts off. While driving in a parking lot.

Driving my car was just great on my 81st day of ownership it all changed I was leaving a red light in vicksburg off the interstate onto warrenton rd I experienced loss of all power to everything in the vehicle and if anyone is familiar with that road the are hardly any room to pull over so bad that if I had a passenger hey would have to climb over to the driver side to get out or else slide right into the mississippi river, talk about bad timing with the exception for the radio the vehicle would only click once no abnormal smells smoke or anything that would cause me to think of any engine damage. After hours of waiting the tow truck came checked the car tried to boost it and couldn't get a charge after getting it home I took the battery to the advance auto parts to charge it and they said it was a dead cell so j brought another battery got it home just for it to click still no crank, it's push to start so it was just one single click and the engine light is the only light on the dash that would illuminate. So I called onstar they told me it needed to be taken to a dealer immediately due to a charging issue after taking it back to the dealership they said it's the motor locked up which is obserd due to the fact there was no indication of it doing anything abnormal before it shut down and with it being new I was told it would shut down before it ran hot and mess up the engine and also makes me wonder why it would even be considered because of the fact of the engine protection mechanism. Now the vehicle is at the dealership just sitting there and I have no way to work and still have to pay car note and insurance on a vehicle I don't even have access to anymore. The dealership is dixon auto and body sales and I'm stuck waiting with nothing to look forward to as far as a ride.

Driving 60 mph on the highway. Suddenly the information panel flashed stabilitrak service required (or similar) then low power mode. Car went from 60 to 30 mph on the highway. Unable to speed up. Needed to pull over to the side of the road. Turned car off. Tried to restart and it wouldn't restart for several tries. Restarted and still said low power and was idling low. Tried again and was normal. This has happened several more times and always is similar. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all in a 30 mile trip, sometimes it happens 3 times. Very dangerous! could be rear ended! I have read many other accounts of this happening in the 2011 Buick Lacrosse. After this the check engine light stayed on. When I had the auto parts store run diagnostics it flagged multiple misfires, throttle position sensor 3 times, power control module indicator, traction control. It seems this is a flaw in this car. I attempted to get a picture of the satbilitrak sensor indicator light, but it flashes on and off pretty quickly and you never know when it will happen.

Over the two years, 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. This happens while the vehicle is in motion at various speeds. You never know when this will happen. I have been put in dangerous situations when this happens while driving including on side streets and major highways. The check engine light also comes on and stays on throughout the rest of my drive. You can go sometimes weeks or months incident free and with no check engine light on. Then out of nowhere it happens again. I have taken my car to the dave sinclair Buick / gm dealer located in st. Louis, missouri on 4 separate occasions over the last 2 years for the same issue yet to no avail it is still not fixed. The dealer's tech said my cars problem is almost certainly electrical. So far they have found multiple codes for ecm (they replaced at my cost) & tcm lost communication pcm malfunction & other communication issues (they reprogrammed). They have driven the car and have duplicated the issues but to this point have not been able to pinpoint the problem but said that it's electrical. I contacted Buick and chatted with an advisor (a copy was uploaded) who basically told me there is nothing that they can do. A quick search of the internet will show several other Buick owners experiencing the same issue as I describe. This is a very dangerous situation & I don't feel safe driving the car since I never know when the car will suddenly lose power, thus causing an accident.

Tamara recall-the car only has 67000 miles on it, and for some reason it is using oil. There is exhaust fumes/smoke coming out of the tail pipe. There have been occasions where it has not started. I took it to the dealership where I purchased it brand new off of the showroom floor in 2014, and they did a diagnostic on it; and inform me that they can find nothing wrong. Why all of the sudden is the oil pressure down so low and my warranty will be up at 70000 miles. I asked the technician to examine the drivetrain and other components covered under the warranty; but they refused. Also the screen on the satellite radio and clock fades out and comes back on. The dealership failed to provide a response to this as well. I need answers to determine the cause of the engine and electrical problems, but if the dealership where I purchased the vehicle cannot answer the questions; what is left to do to get it repaired properly? the car is stationery when the screen fades out and also the inside lights go out periodically as well as the headlights. What can be done? we need assistance. Gm needs to know that this dealership is providing less than satisfactory service.

Whenever I put fuel in the car it has a hard time starting and will also stall occasionally. It's been happening since June 2018 and I have had a mechanic try to fix it and they can't figure out what's causing it to do this. Are there any recalls for this.

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.

Loss of engine power while driving on highway, sudden warning stabilitrak needs service, engine power reduced. Speed dropped to 30 mph on highway from 70mph traffic flow. Could not accelerate at all to keep up w/traffic, had to pull onto shoulder to avoid getting rear ended. Could not accelerate enough speed to merge back onto highway light turned off. Dangerous!!!.

Loss of engine power while driving on highway at 75 mph, dropped suddenly to 30 mph. Had to pull onto shoulder from passing lane, almost rear ended by tractor trailer due to sudden power loss, could not accelerate. Stabilitrak light turned on stating engine power reduced. Turned car off and restarted, went away. Came back on again 3 x's while driving back home on highway, had to continuously pull over and restart engine to clear.

We purchase a eassist 2012 Buick Lacrosse in Feb. 2017 with 46845 miles. We recently started having several issue either when in slow motion backing up out of a parking space or turning on a city street with the car doing a hard jerk, surging forward then loosing complete power! , not being able to see in the dark as all the light shut off, can't steer the car with no power steering, all the while in the line of traffic is definitely a safety issue that has been reported by other people years ago by my research and still no recall?!?! just the other night the same thing happened and we were about 20 minutes from home at night having to travel through the mountains, feeling the car not wanting to accelerate and feeling the surges was quite scary! we have had the car looked at but they couldn't find what was wrong with it. The check engine light came on a few times over the last month but shut off automatically within the same day. One morning before work I noticed a message on the dic to service stabilitrak. We have had the car in the shop several times but they were unable to detect the issue to fix it or to get the car to do what we are telling them it's doing and the check engine light is no longer on. Again the safety issue with the loss of power while in the line of moving traffic is unacceptable and must be made right with the cars owner!.

My car was moving and cut off on me and then automatically restarted while driving. The power steering locked up. This is been a going on for a few days now. Sometimes I restart it myself sometimes it automatically restarts. Engine light is on for a day and then goes off and comes back on again.

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.

Car has autostop. While waiting on light and when it changed car stalled like it did not want to start up. It made the noise like someone turned the key with the car still on, but this is a keyless ignition. It has died this several times and I have taken it to Buick dealer and they say nothing wrong with it, it has did it twice more since they checked it. Last time I was at a food drive thru and it stalled made noise then started back up. Vehicle was stationary. It seems like the autostop gets stuck and their is a delay starting back up. That is dangerous when turning at a light. Please investigate . Thank you.
