4 Lose Power Steering problem of the 2012 Buick Lacrosse

Failure Date: 12/16/2017

Car stalled out twice, lost power steering. I was backing out of a parking lot space; restarted and then stalled while pulling onto street. Fear is it stalling in traffic and getting rear-ended. I took to garner Buick where had purchased new. When car was relatively new and still on warranty had had similar issue, but dealer never found problem. Now occurs again. They found two sensors that failed but ok now so told me to drive over weekend and see what happens. I see this as a big safety problem and an accident waiting to happen. Buick should be responsible if this happens, but in the meantime I am the one injured.

5 Lose Power Steering problem of the 2012 Buick Lacrosse

Failure Date: 09/25/2014

Vehicle was excessively rough in transition between hybrid and engine power and would jerk as if someone had placed the vehicle into park while moving. Vehicle lost electrical power to ac, radio and other accessories. Vehicle shutoff and had to be stopped and placed into park before it would restart. Vehicle lost power steering and the steering would stay locked in position until the vehicle rolled about 10-15 feet or until the vehicle transitioned to engine power. These condition repeated multiple times in a two day span, the vehicle was taken to the dealer for service. The dealer replaced a solenoid and an engine mount stating they had excessive wear. The vehicle now stays running, but I continue to have issues with the rough transition between modes. My concern is that this is the root cause of the excessive wear on the other parts and that the vehicle shutdown and steering loss will occur again. If it does, the damage to property, injury, or loss of life could easily occur given the lack of drivability and loss of control of the vehicle when the condition occurs.

6 Lose Power Steering problem of the 2005 Buick Lacrosse

Failure Date: 08/26/2014

Pulled into parking lot and lost power steering. Lots of clunking and grinding just prior. Mechanic says power steering hoses, rack and pinion and tie rods. Yet another problem with this vehicle. Gm was aware enough of the problem that they put a supervisor on the line but said that it is out of warranty now, so it's not their problem. Going to try to work with local guys to get out of it. Not sinking another penny into this car. If this had happened on the highway, I'd be dead.

7 Lose Power Steering problem of the 2013 Buick Lacrosse

Failure Date: 04/01/2014

Near the florida-georgia on north interstate 75 I stopped at a rest area. When I started the auto again,I found it difficult to back out of the parking lane and to straighten the cars wheels to exit the area. I realized then I lost power steering. Slowly and on the right lane I drove the auto to valdosta,GA . I stopped at a motel and called the local Buick dealer. The next day (April 2) I was able to bring the auto to the local Buick dealer. Fortunately,the dealer was just a few miles from my motel. I stayed overnight at a local motel. The dealer arranged for me to rent a auto. The next day, the mechanics at the dealership informed me that they would have to replace parts but did not know how long it would take to receive the parts and how long it would take to fix the auto. Thus ,they removed my luggage and books from my auto and placed them in my rental car. Then I proceeded to drive to my home in illinois. On April 27,my repaired Buick la crosse was delivered to my home in illinois.
