I have brought my 2018 Buick Lacrosse to two different Buick dealerships who say that even though a special instruction letter was recognized and a recall was observed, because my check light went out and the codes on the car where cleared, they will not fix either recall. On three different occasions, the car slowed down to a crawl speed, the check engine light went on and the brakes applied themselves. Also across the dash was displayed 'service transmission'. I thought it was the accelerator pedal position sensor, but it may be a transmission problem. I've had it towed on three different occasions and had the battery replaced. Neither dealership will not fix the problem, however.

Fuel line under hood was rubbing against a bracket and is leaking. All the hangers and clips are secured and no play in fuel line.

This concerns our 2016 Buick Lacrosse. We leased the car late in 2016 for 3-1/2 years, then purchased it including an extended warranty. Two problems occurred. First the fuel supply line to the engine began leaking, leaving a gasoline odor inside the car. We took the car to our dealership and had it repaired. We told the dealership we purchased an extended warranty with the car and were told this repair was not covered! we had to pay ±$471 out of pocket which we don't agree with. The second issue is the return fuel supply line which let loose when starting the car, (weeks later) spraying gas all over the garage floor. I opened the hood to check the problem and tried starting the engine again. There was a small fire which I extinguished immediately. We had to have the car towed to the dealership to get it repaired a second time for fuel line issues. This time it cost us ±$978 out of pocket to get it fixed. They said again extended warranty did not cover this problem. I am told by a gm executive that gm has a separate warranty (10yr) for epa fuel & emissions compliance that should have covered this situation, yet the dealer charged us for the repairs. I have also heard that NHTSA has a similar regulation which I would like to know more about.

Sometimes car is dead in the morning, unable to jumpstart, 1 hour later car starts right up, drives fine for a while then dies, has died while waiting at a stop sign. I have taken it to two auto shops including the dealer. The first auto shop could find nothing wrong, the dealer told me it was my battery (which was only 1 year old). He replaced the battery but my car continues to randomly die.

My car cuts off and gives warning of battery charging system failure when I slow to stop at red lights or turn in my driveway. . I've changed the belt and it's still doing it. I bought this car in 2017 and I am concerned that maybe the recall wasnt changed for eassist components. I have a 2 year old. I cant stearns my car because it's too hard when engine kills. It its very dangerous and something major is wrong.

Reduced power/traction control light came on suddenly and reduced car power immediately. This made for a very dangerous situation while passing a truck and entering the highway. The car dropped speed very quickly making for a potentially deadly situation. This problem comes and goes with no warning until it happens. Research shows this is a big problem for gm vehicles especially the 2009 Buick lacross models. It's a disaster waiting to happen if it hasn't happened already. This needs to be recalled ASAP.

Affecting all 2. 4l gm motors- the exhaust manifold will crack just before the catalytic converter and leak deadly exhaust fumes into the cabin. You may experience a smell at first but then it goes away and symptoms will typically include headache, nausea and vomiting. Seek medical attention immediate as carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless and deadly. This has been seen on multiple vehicles a week in the shop.

My vehicle is stalling and takes a long time to crank after re-fueling. I took the vehicle to a local dealership and they are suggesting that the purge valve selonoid needs to be replaced, how may other complaints have been reported? please advise if there will be any action taken regarding this. As soon as possible.

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.

Twice after filling up with gas, my car was oils not start at the pump. Each time I had to wait several minutes before it would actually start. The second time it happened, I waited, it started then immediately quit again. There is a very hard start when it attempts to start as well. The engine light came on then immediately went off. I took the car directly to the dealership where it had to remain running until they could get it in. This was 540p on Friday, may 25th before a holiday.

Purge solenoid valve had to be replaced the defective device caused the vehicle to loose power while driving and caused long engine cranking after re-fueling the vehicle.

When the car had mileage in the mid-upper 30,000 in 2018, we noticed that as the speed coasted down to 30mph, there was a hard downshift. So hard, you thought the engine fell out of the car. At the time we had not realized it only did this when the engine was cold. So, when we took it to the dealer, they could not replicate the issue. In 12/2019, we left it overnite and they "did" replicate the issue the next morning. This is stated on our service bill. They suggested a deep atm flush, even though we had a normal flush 18 months earlier with them. We paid them to do it and the problem persists. Since we slow down every time we approach a stop sign or stoplight, this occurs as we get down to 30mph. Exactly at 30mph!!! once the engine is warm it, we do not notice the issue. But we live in northern ohio & the nites are cold oct-April. We drove the car to warm miami FL in 1/2020. It still did it, but only a mild downshift then quickly did not repeat as the temp was warmer there. To reduce the hardness of the downshift, we have reverted to trying to let the car warm up after starting it and applying the brakes as we slow down to 30mph! it is sad that this has to be done, as we have been taking great care of the car & it only has 48,000 miles. And we are not moving to FL!!! we bought the car new from this dealer.

Sold a lemon car by drivetime financed through bridgecrest financial llc I purchased the car 12/22/2016 and have been reporting problems since I drove off the lot. I live beyond 300 miles of the location where I purchased the vehicle.

I noted the exact same problem reported on the NHTSA site for this same make and model of car. It's included under the heading vehicle speed control. I just purchased this car in the past month and now notice that each time I try to move my foot from the foot feed to the brake pedal my foot catches on the side of the brake pedal. It seems to me to be an obvious safety risk in that it takes another movement of my foot to get it on the brake pedal slowing my response to brake. I fear that if I need to stop quickly, I will either miss the brake pedal or will have a delay in reaching it which could cause a serious accident if braking quickly is necessary to avoid a crash. This happens every time I move my foot from the foot feed to the brake pedal!.

My fuel line rubbed against a metal bracket in the car taking away the insulation. The only way I found out about this was because I changed the spark plugs on the car. I have asked Buick to replace the line however they refused because of how many miles I have on the car.

Original purchaser of vehicle with under 120,000 miles and have a "reduced power / accelerator pedal position sensor" problem as recalled by gm for some make and models as same, but not mine as it did not manufactured at same plant as others (as I was told)? I'm finding it coincidental that I would have the same problem?.

The contact owns a 2011 Buick Lacrosse. The contact stated that the vehicle began to leak fuel from under the housing unit. Whenever the contact attempted to accelerate from a stop, it would jerk and hesitate before accelerating. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed, but not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000.

The shift linkage tube crosses over the fuel line at the top of the engine. When shifting out of park, the tube moves. The movement of this tube is abrading the the insulation on this fuel line.

Was driving the vehicle at a fairly lower speed. (35 mph). Was utilizing the cruise control, moved my right leg, and due to the positioning of the ignition, my leg bumped the keys slightly, which caused the key to turn into the position where the vehicle was no longer running. Upon noticing that the engine had stopped running, was still successfully able to place the car into neutral and restart the vehicle without causing an accident- however, had I been driving at a higher rate of speed, this could have been catastrophic.

Three lane interstate highway with traffic moving at 65 mph and engine stalls out with no power. Make it to shoulder of road and after about a half hour, car starts with engine check light on and I continue to destination. I have service repair specialist check source of problem and it is failure of "cam shaft sensor". Upon returning home 285 miles away, again had problem diagnosed with same results. . . "cam shaft sensor" as engine check light was on again and car had no power. On 9/1/2015 call ellis automotive inc. And told them about problem, part needed and asked for a service date for repair. The service date was set for 9/11/2015 at 9:00 a. M. Traveled to dealer (51 miles one way) and they diagnosed the problem as "cam shaft sensor", but didn't have part available. When I asked why inexpensive part was not available after my prior communications I was told they only respond to their own diagnoses. On 9/14/2015 at 3:50 pm , I get the message that part was in but that they close at 4:pm. I call at 9:00 am on 9/15/2015 and was told that they have service date for 9/30/2015 and will meet me halfway with "loaner car" and take my car for repair. The reason for this communications is pretty basic. This defective part causes the engine to fail and gm knows that the problem exist and is well documented. The dealers have been notified by gm that problem is know but vehicle can be run so there is no priority to fix problem when reported by customer. Will it take more people killed by their vehicle stalling in traffic with no power braking or steering before gm is forced to take corrective action on a part they know is prone to failure. ? I was told that the government uses warranty information to determine when a problem exist but we all know how this game was played with the ignition switch disaster.

While driving downhill, in mountains, I was turning right on a curve at 60 mph when I lost all acceleration. The vehicle slowed to approximately 30 mph in about 10 seconds. The motor was still runing but at an idle speed. After about 15 seconds, the accelerater started working again. Cars were behind me honking, it scared the --- out of me. The next time it happened (4. 23. 2015), I was changing freeways, turning to the right at about 30 mph, the accelerater again stopped working with 4 cars behind me, one almost hit me in the rear, there was no place to pull off to. Then after about 15 seconds the accelerator started to respond again, so I could drive again, I took it to the dealer and informed them what had happened, they told me that they had not heard of any problem as I reported. They did an inspection of the vehicle, checked connections of wiring. I informed them of the same problems reported on the internet that I found, they said you can't believe everything you read on the internet? they could not deplicate the problem.

~tl the contact owns a 2015 Buick Lacrosse. The contact stated that the vehicle made an abnormal noise. Ed norse sawgrass auto mall (14401 west sunrise blvd, sunrise, FL) was unable to diagnosed the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 5.

This has happened twice. Twice I was going about 55 or 60 miles per hour and suddenly I had reduced power. This happened in July and then several months ago. My engine light has come on and codes show that p1125, accelerator pedal position sensor fault, and p2138 accelerator pedal position performance. I recall I got a letter from gm about this matter, but I can not locate at this time. .

While driving approximately 25-30 mph the engine died, steering failed; I was able to come to a safe stop. The vehicle would not start. It had to be towed. Later found out the ignition coil was cracked (part # 10472401) , ignition control module replaced (part # 19245558) & 15a fuse were replaced. I had been experiencing a gasoline smell in the vehicle for months. I had it into a gm dealer 3 times for the issue without resolution. I was told by the repair station that they were amazed the check engine light had not come on before the failure. Apparently the vehicle was only firing on 4 cylinders.

The oil filter will not stay tight. We have it serviced at a g m service center. But every time they change the oil in about 1000 miles the filter comes lose and leaks.

This has happened numerous times. The first time the check engine light came on, I don't recall the message I actually got; but I took it to a dealership and they replaced an emission control item which seemed to do the trick for awhile. Eventually, as I was driving along some time later, the message "reduced engine power" came up; and I could feel the engine immediately start to drag. In about 30 seconds to a minute, "traction control off" or something similar comes up. I stopped to look at the manual which said to shut the engine off, wait a few minutes, then start the car and this would clear the code so that the car would run normally. I did this, and I saw that the car was operating more normally but the "check engine light" stayed on. After several stops and starts, the light went off. This has happened more times than I can count. On 6/3, I took it to a dealership because it seemed to be happening more frequently. The only thing they could find that might be causing it did not seem to be the problem, but they worked on the x101 connector and test drove it 16 miles w/o a problem. Two days later while driving to work (after driving about 20 min. ), the same thing happened again. Another garage where I had my oil changed ran the codes and found that p1125 - fuel & air metering and p2138 throttle/pedal position were listed. I gave this info to the Buick dealer to see if the problem could be fixed. The car is no longer under warranty except for emission controls, so I paid for the work. They were not sure that the problem was repaired. It turned out that it wasn't. Now, what? do I just keep taking it back and paying for things to be tried?.

Vehicle engine light (malfunction indicator lamp) came on; 5 minutes later charging system light came on with warning that "charging system not working". Shortly thereafter, power steering went out and then abs light came on and then car shut down completely. After reading complaints about 2012 Buick Lacrosse looked in engine compartment and found that the serpentine belt was shredded. Vehicle being towed to dealer in morning.

Lights keep going off and on and air bag light is on and transmission problems.

I just purchased a new 2010 Buick Lacrosse cxs---I was not advised that the car is not equipped to give an automatic "low fuel level" warning!! the owners manual says it is equipped (but its not). Verification has been made with local Buick service dept. ---it is very important that this feature be available.
