Our steering went out on Interstate 65 while traveling about 70 miles per hour. We were near an exit and I was able to pump my brakes and get off without causing an accident that could have caused a multiple pile-up, injuries and potential deaths. The problem was diagnosed and repaired by a GM Dealership. The car was towed directly for repair—no manufacturer (other than GM repair), police or insurance representative was involved. A message saying “Power steering assist needs service” appeared on the dash 5 to 8 seconds before the steering went out.

SERVICE SIDE DETENTION MESAGE IS ON,.OTHER DASH LIGHTS ARE BEING AFFECTED,SIGNAL LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING HALF THE TIME AND CAR WON'T SHUT OFF

VEHICLE HAS 112,000 MILES, ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE TIRES & WAS TOLD THAT THE WHEELS ARE NO GOOD, THE CHROME IS PEELING, THEREFORE WHEN THE OLD TIRES WERE REMOVED, THE CHROME FELL OFF, THEREFOR WHEELS WON'T HOLD AIR! DEALER INSPECTED & TOLD ME IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY & THE COST WOULD BE 4600,00. I'M TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH THESE WHEELS! DEALER IS JIM CURLEY, LAKEWOOD, NJ. HAD A SECOND TIRE SHOP LOOK AT THE WHEELS & THEY CONFIRMED THIS PROBLEM EXISTS WITH THESE WHEELS!

GM USED MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL FRONT AND REAR SHOCKS IN THIS 2014 MODEL YEAR BUICK LACROSSE. THEY HAVE FAILED, SEIZED UP AT 63,000 MILES. DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE SHOCK (STIFFNESS) THIS WILL LEAD TO UNDUE DAMAGE TO TIRES, RIMS, STEERING AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS WHICH IN TURN COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC MECHANICAL FAILURES, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND BODILY INJURIES. REPLACEMENT COST IS CLOSE TO $4000 WITH OEM PARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT UPON DEPRESSION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT CALLED SPITZER CHEVROLET COMPANY( 7111 SUNSET STRIP AVE NW, NORTH CANTON, OH 44720) WHERE SHE INFORMED A SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE FAILURE. SHE WAS TOLD THAT A REPRESENTATIVE WOULD CALL HER BACK, SHE NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND AGAIN WAS INFORMED THAT A REPRESENTATIVE WOULD CALL BACK AND AGAIN SHE DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL BACK. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

FACTORY WHEEL RIMS CONSTANTLY LOOSE AIR AT THE EDGE/ NEED OF THE RIMS. AFTER ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM HAD FAILED. SOME RESEARCH, APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE FACTORY RIMS. THE ISSUE IS, RIM MATERIAL DETERIORATION/ PITTING AT THE TIRE NEED AREA. ADDING AIR EVERY WEEK. WHY WOULD THIS NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE?

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, CHECK POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON.

CAR IN MOTION ON CITY STREET CAME TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND CAR SHUT DOWN WHEN TRIED TO PUT GAS PEDAL IT MADE A LOUD NOISE AND DID NOT WANT TO START UP BUT FINALLY STARTED. THIS IS ON GOING FOR MONTHS AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK GOING APPROXIMATELY 55MPH IN MY 2014 BUICK LACROSSE I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. THE STABILATRAC INDICATOR CAME ALONG WITH A SERVICE ABS BRAKE LIGHT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO SET CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK AND HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED FOR SAFETY REASONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED A BLUE PLASTIC TRIM DETACHED WITHIN THE HEADLIGHT CAUSING THE ILLUMINATION OF THE HEADLIGHT TO BE REDUCED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HYATT BUICK GMC LOCATED AT 922 FRONTAGE RD E, MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29577, PHONE NUMBER: 843-480-0029 TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD IF THE HEADLAMP WAS NOT REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE INTERIOR LANE AT 75 MPH WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN I GOT A AUDIBLE AND VISUAL ALARM INDICATING STEERING FAILURE. I THEN GOT THE SAME FOR STABILTRAK FAILURE. THE STEERING ASSIST WAS OBVIOUSLY GONE IMMEDIATELY AND THE CAR STARTED FLOATING BACK AND FORTH. I HAD MY WIFE AND 92 YEAR OLD MOTHER-IN -LAW WITH ME AND IT WAS MISTING HEAVILY SO I CAREFULLY CONTINUED TO DRIVE AT A REDUCED SPEED. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY SAID THE STEERING WAS NOT GETTING ELECTRICITY. ALSO, THEY SAID THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL SENSOR WENT OUT WHICH CAUSED THE BACK AND FORTH MOTION. THE CAR DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $3400 FOR THE REPAIRS. I SEE THAT THERE WERE RECALLS ON OTHER GM PRODUCTS FOR THE STEERING ON SIMILAR MODELS I.E. CADILLAC ETC. I FOUND SEVERAL INSTANCES ONLINE FOR BUICK LACROSSE BUT FOR SOME REASON NOT ALL WERE REPORTED. I BOUGHT THIS CERTIFIED VEHICLE MAY 2018 WITH 19,520 MI. WHICH IS AT AROUND 42,500 MI. NOW. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS PRODUCT IN THE FUTURE AND WOULD LIKE FOR N.H.T.S.A TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS STEERING ISSUE AND WHY THESE TWO ISSUES WITH THE SENSOR AND THE STEERING OCCURRING AT THE SAME TIME.

PURGE VALVE SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE..DEALERSHIP CLAIM THEY REPLACE ROTORS BUT LIED..I HAVE REPLACE ON BOTH SIDE TURNING SIGNAL MIRROR 4XS..BACK LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS GETTING WATER IN THEM SEAL KEEP BREAKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FENDER GUARD WAS LOOSE.

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CORNING CHEVROLET BUICK (2087 SOLANO ST, CORNING, CA 96021, (530) 838-4371) WHERE THEY RE-SCREWED THE FENDER GUARD. SINCE THE REPAIR, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND CAUSED THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE FENDER GUARD TO DETACH.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY SEVERAL CARS ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. I STEPPED HARDER ON THE BRAKE AND MANAGED TO STOP MY VEHICLE ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE WAS REVVING VERY HIGH. I MANAGED TO FIND AN OPENING IN TRAFFIC AND PULLED OVER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE RPM'S WERE EVEN HIGHER NOW(OVER 5000). I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT BACK OFF AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD IT TOWED AND WAS JUST INFORMED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ( WHICH IS AN ACCELERATOR SENSOR). I THINK THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS. I AM EVEN MORE OUTRAGED BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. I HOPE YOU CAN YOU CAN PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE THERE ARE ANY FATALITIES SOMEWHERE BECAUSE OF BUICK'S NEGLIGENCE( I HAVE REPORTED THIS OCCURRENCE TO BUICK SUPPORT).

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR INDICATED A LOW LEFT REAR TIRE. I STOPPED AND ADDED THE NECESSARY AIR AND CONTINUED DRIVING. IN ABOUT 10 MILES THE MONITOR INDICATED THAT THE TIRE WAS LOW AGAIN. I STOPPED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO HAVE IT CHECKED. UPON INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE WAS OK BUT THE WHEEL HAD A1 INCH HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE BEAD AREA ON THE INSIDE SIDE OF THE RIM. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL OR TIRE OR WHEEL. I FEEL THAT THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE WHEEL MADE IN CHINA. THIS WAS A GM ALUMINUM 20 INCH WHEEL.

THERE HAS BEEN AN UNUSUAL TINGLING NOISE (EXAMPLE: TAPPING SOUND OF AN ALUMINUM TIN PAN) COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER LEFT AND PASSENGER RIGHT SIDES OF THE BODY PILLAR PANELS. THE SOUND IS NOTICED WHILE DRIVING ON RUGGED PAVEMENT AND ALSO WITH INCREASED SPEED ON THE PAVEMENT. SERVICE RECORDS CAN BE FURNISHED OF MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALER ADDRESSING MY CONCERN/COMPLAINT, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO SATISFACTORY RESOLVE. MOSS BROTHERS HAS BEEN VERY GENEROUS IN MAKING ACCOMMODATIONS (LOANERS, DOLLAR INCENTIVES) FOR ME WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS BEING DIAGNOSED AND KEPT UNDER THEIR CARE, BUT I ALSO HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT HOW DEALER SURVEYS ARE STRUCTURED. PLEASE NOTE FOR THE RECORD, I HAVE COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED TO THE DEALER MANY SURVEYS GIVING THEM PRAISE FOR THEIR SERVICE, ONLY BECAUSE I HAD TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH BATTLE I WANTED TO FIGHT TO GET WHAT I NEEDED TO HAVE DONE. THERE WERE A FEW TIMES WHERE PRAISE WAS IN ORDER BUT MORE TIMES WHEN IT WAS NOT. ONE TIME WHEN I WROTE A COMPLAINT LAST YEAR, I WAS VERBALLY SCALDED IN A PHONE CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL THEY DID TO ASSIST WITH LOANER PROVISIONS, THAT MY NEGATIVE SURVEY AFFECTS THE DEALERSHIP'S RATING AND EMPLOYEE BONUS/RECOGNITION. I FELT AT THAT MOMENT, "VOICELESS" AND LIKE THEIR "UNWANTED STEP-CHILD". WITH THAT SAID, I TREAD GINGERLY ON HOW MY REAL OPINION IS EXPRESSED WHEN COMPLETING DEALER SURVEYS NOW. I WOULD LOVE TO CONTINUE BUYING BUICK VEHICLES AS THIS IS MY SECOND BUICK LACROSSE THAT I HAVE PURCHASED FROM MOSS BROTHERS, BUT I FEEL THERE IS MUCH WORK YET TO BE DONE TO IMPROVE THE INTEGRITY OF HOW SURVEYS ARE STRUCTURED SO AS TO NOT JEOPARDIZE THE CUSTOMER'S LOYALTY TO THE BRAND, ASSISTANCE SERVICES BEING PROVIDED AND DOLLAR INCENTIVES BEING GIVEN TO KEEP CUSTOMERS AS A SATISFIED AND LONG-TERM CUSTOMER.

INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE ACCELERATING WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED - I.E. WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT A STOP SIGN THE ENGINE TACHOMETER INDICATES THAT THE ENGINE IS RUNNING UP TO 2000 RPM. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO DECREASE IS TO LET FOOT OFF BRAKE PEDAL AND REENGAGE IT. THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD AND EVEN WARM. THE INSURANCE MONITOR REGISTERS IT AS A "HARD BRAKING" EVENT. AS I STATED IT IS INTERMITTENT AND HAS REGISTERED 7 HARD BRAKING EVENTS IN 978 MILES. DEALERSHIP STATES THAT UNTIL IT GETS TO BE CONSISTENT THAT THEY CAN'T ADDRESS IT.....I AM ESCALATING WITH THEM AS OF TODAY - 01/04/16.

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.

ON THE WAY HOME FROM A CELEBRATION IN OUR TOWN, I HIT A DEER. I IMMEDIATELY HEARD A LOUD COUPLE OF BANGS, NOT JUST FROM THE IMPACT AND SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AND GLOVEBOX.
