2010 Buick Lacrosse

3/28/14: TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AS MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPX. ONE INCH FROM THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED WHILE STOPPING CAR. WAS TOLD BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS & BRAKE FLUID WERE ALL OKAY. I WAS ADVISED TO MONITOR...THAT "CONDITION WAS DUE TO BRAKE PADS WEARING & WHEN BRAKE PADS WEAR, THE PEDAL WILL MOVE FURTHER DOWN BECAUSE PADS HAVE TO TRAVEL FARTHER IN TO PRESS AGAINST THE ROTORS". 5/28/14:RETURNED CAR TO DEALERSHIP AS BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALMOST TOUCHING THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED. THEY DETERMINED THAT MY MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED...WAS REPLACED. *TR

I HAD JUST LEFT THE HIGHWAY AND WAS COASTING AROUND 35 MPH WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY PARKING ASSIST LIGHT FLASHED AND THE CAR SLOWED TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND RESTART IT. I ATTEMPTED TO BRING IT IN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS BUT I WAS TOLD THEY WERE BOOKED SOLID (STATIONED IN HAWAII). APPARENTLY IT WAS NOT A BIG ENOUGH DEAL FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK BEFORE NEXT WEEK. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING, WHY ISN'T A RECALL OUT YET? SOMEONE COULD DIE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET A LAWSUIT GOING? *TR

WENT TO GET MY CAR SERVICED BECAUSE I KEPT HEARING A WHIRRING NOISE DURING ACCELERATION IN THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. BOTH REAR HUB ASSEMBLIES WENT, ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS EXPENSE FOR A 2010 BUICK LACROSSE AT THE "STEALERSHIP" FOR $850.00, WOW!! CRAZY BECAUSE MY FRIEND HAS THE SAME EXACT CAR AND HAS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. SHOULDN'T THIS BE ON RECALL ALREADY?? WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE.... *TR

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 5:30AM WITH MINIMAL TRAFFIC. WHILE TRAVELING AT 66MPH, I PUT THE CAR INTO CRUISE CONTROL. THEN I PULLED MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL THAT PLACED IT FLAT FOOTED WITH ME LEG TOWARDS THE SEAT. I AM A SHORT PERSON. I HAVE 3 HOUSE KEYS ON A RING ATTACHED TO THE CAR KEY. I FELT MY KNEE TOUCH THE DANGLING KEYS. AT THAT MOMENT, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND CAR SHUT DOWN. I HAD NO POWER BRAKES OR NO POWER STEERING, ETC. I WAS IN THE LANE CLOSEST TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I WAS ABLE GET THE CAR INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND COST TO A STOP. (FORTUNATELY NO TRAFFIC PASSED ME UNTIL I FINALLY STOPPED.) THE IGNITION KEY AND SWITCH WAS IN THE ON POSITION WHEN I STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR BY PLACING THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTING THE CAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR AND FOUND NO ERROR CODES. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME I MUST HAVE SHUT OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH WITH MY KNEE. I ATTEMPTED TO DO THIS AN CANNOT TURN THE KEY OFF WITH MY KNEE. I ADDITION, MY KNEE DOES NOT REACH THE SWITCH WITHOUT LIFTING IT UP AT LEAST A COUPLE INCHES. I ONLY BRUSHED THE BOTTOM OF THE DANGLING HOUSE KEYS. 2010 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL!!! *TR
