2010 Buick Lacrosse

DRIVING AT NITE TO ER AND ON WAY I THOUGHT I MUST HAVE HIT IGNITION BUTTON BUT CAR JUST LOCKED UP LOST ALL POWER. I CALLED GM THEY GOT BACK TO ME SAID THEY WOULD BE SENDING SOMEONE TO SEE CAR. I DID RECK CAR NOT TO BAD BUT BAD ENOUGH TO TAKE HOLE FRONT BUMPER OFF. I AM SO MAD BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY THINKING CAR WOULD JUST LOOS ALL POWER AND EVEN LOCKED ME IN CAR COULD NOT OPEN DOOR THANK GOD WINDOW WAS DOWN. BUT THEY SAID THEY WERE COMING TO SEE ME AND CAR BUT NEVER DID

OVER THE TWO YEARS, WHILE DRIVING, THE SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT COMES ON; THE ABS & PARK ASSIST LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF; MY RPM, SPEEDOMETER, & TEMPERATURE GAUGES GO HAYWIRE; AND THE ENGINE LOSES POWER CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. I HAVE BEEN PUT IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING INCLUDING ON SIDE STREETS AND MAJOR HIGHWAYS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON AND STAYS ON THROUGHOUT THE REST OF MY DRIVE. YOU CAN GO SOMETIMES WEEKS OR MONTHS INCIDENT FREE AND WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DAVE SINCLAIR BUICK / GM DEALER LOCATED IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS FOR THE SAME ISSUE YET TO NO AVAIL IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. THE DEALER'S TECH SAID MY CARS PROBLEM IS ALMOST CERTAINLY ELECTRICAL. SO FAR THEY HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE CODES FOR ECM (THEY REPLACED AT MY COST) & TCM LOST COMMUNICATION PCM MALFUNCTION & OTHER COMMUNICATION ISSUES (THEY REPROGRAMMED). THEY HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR AND HAVE DUPLICATED THE ISSUES BUT TO THIS POINT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM BUT SAID THAT IT'S ELECTRICAL. I CONTACTED BUICK AND CHATTED WITH AN ADVISOR (A COPY WAS UPLOADED) WHO BASICALLY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. A QUICK SEARCH OF THE INTERNET WILL SHOW SEVERAL OTHER BUICK OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS I DESCRIBE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION & I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR SINCE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER, THUS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVIS GM IN POLAKA, FL, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO START. O'REILLEY AUTO PARTS IN WEST MEMPHIS, ARKANSAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A DELAY IN THE START UP MECHANISM ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED THE HESITATION. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AS IM TRAVELING TO MY MOTHERS HOUSE ON AUGUST 27 2017 MY ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND WOULDN'T START BACK UP. THE SAME WEEK IT WAS HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING OR WOULDN'T TURN OVER TO START. MY DAUGHTER DROVE MY CAR TO O'REALIYS AUTO PART STORE TO GET SOMETHING FOR HER CAR, GET IN TO LEAVE AND IT WOULDN'T START. A MECHANIC FROM THE STORE HOOKED IT TO THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND IT READ A DELAY IN THE START UP. HE START MOVING A COUPLE OF WIRES ON THE STARTER TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP AND IT DID. HE TOLD MY DAUGHTER DON'T CUT IT OFF UNTIL YOU GET HOME BECAUSE HE MAY DO IT AGAIN AND SUGGESTED I PUT A NEW STARTER ON IT. I TOOK HIS ADVICE AND BOUGHT ONE AND HAD IT INSTALLED THE SAME DAY. WHEN DONE IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS AND THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING IS WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR PROBLEMS WITH A 2010 BUICK LACROSS AND I WAS SHOCKED THAT PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR BUICKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS A SEROUS MATTER. SOMEONE OR A WHOLE FAMILY COULD BE KILLED BECAUSE THEIR BUICK HAS AN MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND BUICK IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. I AM ABOUSTLEY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY AFTER READING MANY PEOPLE PROBLEMS LIKE MINE. PLEASE HELP!

TAKATA RECALL PURCHASED USED IN MAY 2015 WITH APPROX. 45K MILES. SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR, I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN KOKOMO IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT FOR THE PARK ASSIST. WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, USUALLY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, GOING 60+ DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE PARK ASSIST COMES ON, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLASH AND ALL THE SOUNDS GO OFF IN THE CAR IMMEDIATELY DISABLING THE CAR. AT THAT POINT, THE CAR DISABLES ITSELF AND YOU CANNOT PUSH THE ACCELERATOR, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. YOU HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURN THE CAR OFF. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES, YOU CAN START THE CAR UP AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL BE DISPLAYED. THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON UNTIL THE NEXT TIME YOU START THE CAR AND THEN GOES OFF. OVER THE LAST YEAR, I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP IN KOKOMO COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THEY STATED THEY CANNOT TRY TO FIND SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR IF IT ISN'T HAPPENING WHEN I BRING IN THE CAR. I MOVED TO TENNESSEE THE FIRST OF JANUARY 2016. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME SINCE LIVING HERE AGAIN SO I TOOK THE CAR INTO PARKS AUTO SERVICE IN COLUMBIA TN. AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR 2 1/2 WEEKS, THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE THUS FAR TO NOT GET INTO A BAD WRECK LOSING MY LIFE OR CRASHING INTO SOMEONE ELSE AND KILLING THEM. AT SOME POINT, THIS WILL CAUSE A MAJOR WRECK AND LIVES COULD POSSIBLY BE LOST OR SOMEONE COULD POSSIBLY BE DISABLED THE REST OF MY LIFE. AT WHAT POINT DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE BUICK WILL FIND AN ANSWER FOR THIS? I NEED HELP ON THIS AS THERE ARE NO MECHANICS THAT CAN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.
