I OWN A 2007 BUICK LACROSSE CXL. IT HAS HAD A VIBRATION IN IT SINCE IT WAS DELIVERED. I DROVE IT UNTIL IT HAD 2,300 MILES ON IT TO SEE IF THE TIRES WOULD EVEN OUT, BUT THEY DID NOT, SO I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THE DEALER BALANCED THE WHEELS . THE VIBRATION WAS LESSENED, BUT STILL THERE. I ADDED AIR TO ALL THE TIRES TO A PRESSURE OF 30PSI COLD AND THIS HELPED BUT DID NOT ELIMINATE THE VIBRATION WHICH SEEMS TO BE IN THE REAR TIRES. I PUT MY CONCERNS ON THE DEALER PERFORMANCE FORM AND WAS CONTACTED BY A BUICK REPRESENTATIVE WHO ASSIGNED ME A CONFIRMATION NUMBER AND SAID THE CONCERN WOULD BE LOOKED AT BY BUICK, BUT HE COULD OFFER LITTLE IN THE WAY OF REMEDY. I CURRENTLY HAVE 2,900 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

2007 BUICK LACROSSE SUN VISOR DROPPED DOWN AND BLOCKING VIEW OF THE ROAD. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VISOR DROPPED WHEN HE PULLED IT DOWN AND BLOCKED HIS VIEW OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. *KB

BRAKES PULSATE WHEN BRAKING. CAR VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO HAS A DESIRE TO PULL TO RIGHT. FEELS LIKES WHEELS ARE OUT OF BALANCE ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN AND HAD THE BALANCE CHECKED AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE. THEY SAY IT IS THE MAKE OF THE TIRES AND GOODYEAR IS AWARE - THEY HAVE MADE A GOODWILL REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRES DUE TO HISTORY OF MY CAR.... THE ENGINE BLEW AT 1500 MILES!!! STILL NO BETTER. EVERY DAY I GET MY FILLINGS RATTLED LOOSE ON THE WAY TO WORK. THE PULL TO THE RIGHT WAS FIXED WHEN THE REPLACED THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT - BUT I HAD TO GO BACK BECAUSE THE DEALER DID NOT DO FRONT END ALIGNMENT AFTER REPLACING THE STEERING SHAFT "NOT NECESSARY - IT'S NOT THE STANDARD PRACTICE WITH THE JOB" WHEN THEY FINALLY PUT IN ON THE MACHINE, IT WAS OUT OF TOE BY .18 DEGREES. I AM STILL WORKING ON GETTING THE BRAKES FIXED. LAST TIME THEY TURNED THEM DUE TO "HARD SPOTS". WHEN I GO BACK FOR THE INSPECTION IN NOV. I HAVE TO HAVE THEM WORK ON THEM AGAIN. THIS TIME I WILL FIGHT TO HAVE THE ROTORS REPLACED AS I AM TERRIFIED THAT I WON'T STOP WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES BECAUSE THE PULSATING HAS GOTTEN THAT BAD. *TR
