1 Suspension problem of the 2013 Buick Lacrosse

Failure Date: 05/07/2025

On may 7th, I was informed the cause of load roaring noise was due to the failure of 2 front wheel bearing. After the work was completed I was informed both rear wheel bearings would need to be replaced. Four wheel bearings failed simultaneously. Yes the car is parked at the dealership and available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? potential for accidents: wheel disengagement: the Buick dealership technician confirmed four wheel bearing needed to be replaced at the same time. One bad bearing would allow me the driver to possibly control the car until it is safely out of traffic. Four failed wheel bearings could cause the driver to lose all control of the vehicle and or the wheels to disengage from the vehicle which has the potential for serious injury or death. A disengaged wheel could fly off and cause harm to other drivers or pedestrians, or the driver themselves could lose control and crash. Yes, the service department at the Buick dealer confirmed four wheel bearings failed on may 7th. Yes I received another inspection from an independent auto repair servicer.

12 Suspension problem of the 2013 Buick Lacrosse

Failure Date: 11/28/2021

I purchased the vehicle in 07/2021 through the drive time dealership. The first concern is that as you go over the agreement the cost of the vehicle is well over the actual blue book value which $24,000 plus. But then there is the blinded words which cover the interest rate and the false mathematics that is used to confuse you. I realized that in the end of that process it is stated that I would owe $70,000 plus which one can buy 3,4, vehicles or a home. I ask that this transaction be investigated. My ethnicity was the motivating factor to become victimized just the commission. My second complaint which also support my reasonings as to this filing is due to the lack of reply towards the recall ( NHTSA- 20v764) manufacture recall number:n202308930. I called the gm manufacture on 07/27/2021 and was told that the remedy was not yet available. It has been over a month period . According to the initial date the recall came effect which was Dec. 10/2020 it has now been 2 years 14 days sense recall and I have yet to receive relief about this serious safety issue. I am asking for an investigation to initiated. It is not good the way consumers are being manipulated for monies we work hard for as good unfortunate citizens. The 3rd incident occured when I was traveling east on 40-e going to work I felt the rear of the vehicle drop low( downward) which caused me to lose traction I need the recall completed thank you.
