2010 BUICK LACROSSE Complaints

I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE METERS START GOING UP AN DOWN AN THEN IT WILL SAY CAR PARKING ASSIST IS IN THEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OF THIS CAN REALLY CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT WHAT IF I'M IN THE CAR WITH MY KIDS ONE DAY AN THE CAR SHUTS OF AN I HAVE NOWHERE TO PULL OVER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG MODULE WAS FRACTURED AND THE AIR BAG INDICATOR DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM ELLIS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP (5862 PEACHTREE BLVD, ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30341, 770-234-8155), BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT AIR BAGS WOULD BE REPLACED THIS WEEK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON OCT 16, 2018. I WAS ON THE STREET SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN A VEHICLE HIT ME FROM THE REAR WHICH MADE ME HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/DASH AND HEADLIGHT/DAYTIME DRIVING LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY EITHER FLASH OFF AND ON OR SHUT OFF FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND COME BACK ON. THIS PROBLEM HAS BUILT UP OVER TIME AND THE RADIO HAS ALSO STARTED TO ALSO INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF AND ON CONJUNCTION WITH ALL THE LIGHTING. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN EVER THERE IS SOME KIND OF QUICK DRAW OF ELECTRICAL POWER, SUCH AS BRAKING, DOWNSHIFTING OF TRANSMISSION TO ACCELERATE, TURNING ON DEFROSTERS, OR SIMPLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS POWER LOSS ALSO AFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL AND WHEN POWER LOSS OCCURS IT WILL DISENGAGE. THIS DISTURBINGLY OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND POWER LOSS TO INSTRUMENT PANEL/DASH AND HEADLIGHT LEAVES ME IN COMPLETE DARKNESS FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS AT TIME. I HAVE NOT IDEA HOW FAST I'M GOING OF IF THE ROAD IS STILL IN FRONT OF ME. I NOTICE AN ISSUE WITH THE PREVIOUS BODY STYLE OF LACROSSE BUT NOT MINE. IF THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED FOR SEVERAL HOURS SOME THING OR SOME PROGRAM IS RESET AND THE ISSUE WILL STOP FOR ROUGHLY TWO WEEKS AND THEN START BACK UP, BUT SO FAR THE ISSUE SEEMS TO INTENSIFY UP RESTARTING AFTER THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED. THE DRIVETRAIN IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE POWER LOSS AND WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE DURING THE ILLUMINATION AND INSTRUMENTATION LOSS. THE ISSUE DOES SEEM TO REPEAT MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN IN TOWN WITH THE CONSTANT ACCELERATION AND BRAKING. ON THE INTERSTATE THE ISSUE WILL OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE CRUISING AND WHEN ACCELERATING OR BRAKING AND IF SOME DEVICE IS ACTIVATED SUCH AS DEFROSTERS, TURN SIGNALS, OR AIR CONDITIONING. WITH THE INTERMITTENT AND SO FAR SHORT NATURE OF THE POWER LOSS, I'M NOT ABLE TO ASCERTAIN IF ANY OTHER SYSTEMS ARE BEING AFFECTED AS OF YET. THE PROBLEM RESEMBLES ALTERNATOR OR BATTERY FAILURE, BUT BOTH WERE REPLACED AT THE ONSET OVER A YEAR AGO. VIDEOS OF THE CLUSTER ARE AVAILABLE BUT TOO LARGE TO ATTACH.

THE "ABS LIGHT" HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS NOT BEEN WORKING EFFICIENTLY FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONSISTENTLY STATE NOTHING IS WRONG.

COULD NOT PRESS ON STEERING BOX ON LEFT ABOVE. ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE TAKING A RIGHT TURN DRIVING A FEW DAYS AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR. STEERING AND BRAKES WENT. CAR SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON A BUSY STREET. CAR DID RESTART AND DRIVE HOME ABOUT ONE MILE. DROVE THE CAR 2 MORE TIMES WITH NO PROBLEM. THEN ON DAY 10 DRIVE CAR COUPLE MILES TO STORE ON VERY BUSY STREET; CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING TAKING RIGHT TURN AND STEERING AND BREAKS DID NOT WORK; ALMOST RAN INTO AN ONCOMING VEHICLE AS CAR WOULD NOT STEER INTO STORE PARKING LOT. TURNED CAR IN AUTOMATIC IGNITION AND IT STARTED; WAIVED ONCOMING CAR; APOLOGIZED; AND CAR WAS PARKED. DROVE HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. GOING TO CALL HONDA DEALER THAT SOLD ME THIS CAR, THERE IS RECALL ON 2000-2009 I JUST RESEARCHED, BUT UNSURE IF RECALL EXTENDS TO THIS BEHICLE 2010 MODEL. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF ANY ACTION OR REMEDY IN LAW I MAY HAVE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION; NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO BE PHYSICALLY INJURED BEFORE OBTAINING A FA IR REMEDY. CAR RECALL SHOULD HAVE TURNED UP ON CAR FAX DONE BY HONDA. PLEASE CONTACT ME REGARDING RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. I CAN'T CHECK THIS BOX OFF BELOW. TECH ISSUES. THANKYOU! THIS IS FRIGHTENING!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE DRIVING 60-70 MPH, THE REDUCED POWER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE LOST FORWARD MOMENTUM, THE BRAKING AND POWER STEERING ABILITY SEIZED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THORSON MOTOR CENTER (3456 E COLORADO BLVD, PASADENA, CA 91107, (626) 817-6465) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS LOW AND THAT THE OIL LEVEL SENSOR WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000. *TT *JS ENGINE STALL UPDATED 9/24/18*JB

WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD RANDOMLY COMING ON AND OFF. INCLUDING POWER STEERING LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT , SERVICE STABILITY LIGHT. VEHICLE WHEN FIRST TURNS ON SHAKES AND VIBRATES THEN GOES TO NORMAL AFTER A FEW MINUTES. NO LOW FLUIDS OR PROBLEMS FOUND FROM CERTIFIED GM SERVICE

SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON AS SOON AS WHEELS ARE TURNED AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THIS STARTED OUT HAPPENING VERY OCCASIONALLY, BUT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. I CAN DRIVE SEVERAL BLOCKS STRAIGHT ON WITHOUT THE WARNING, BUT AS SOON AS THE WHEELS ARE TURNED, THE WARNING MESSAGE COMES ON, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ARE AUTOMATICALLY TURNED OFF. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AT 70K MILES, THIS STARTED ABOUT 2 MOS AFTER PURCHASE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALERSHIPS THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE FRONT WHEELS IN THIS VEHICLE, THAT IT'S A "KNOWN ISSUE", AND IS ABOUT $500 PER WHEEL TO FIX. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, THEN WHY HASN'T BUICK ISSUED A RECALL? I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS ONLINE WHERE PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. NOT SURE WHY THEY AREN'T REPORTING IT TO NHTSA!!! THIS COULD CAUSE ALOT OF ACCIDENTS IF THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ARE TURNED OFF! ATTACHED PHOTO WAS TAKEN WITH VEHICLE SITTING STILL IN DRIVEWAY, JUST STARTED, NO MESSAGES, TURNED STEERING WHEEL AND THE WARNING LIGHTS THEN LIT UP ON DASHBOARD, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS TURNED OFF (AS INDICATED BY LIGHTS).

TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENS WHETHER PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES.
