2010 Buick Lacrosse

SERVICE STABILITY LIGHT COMES ON. CAR MADE A SLIGHT GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING RIGHT SECONDS BEFORE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONE TIME. SERVICE STABILITY WARNING STAYS ON UNTIL CAR IS TURNED OFF. TALKED WITH SERVICE MANAGER AT DEALERSHIP. HE SAYS IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS. I AM UNSURE IF IT IS SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES OVER A TWO YEAR PERIOD. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THREE TIMES FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,591. UPDATED 1/29/14*CN VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE A FEEL OF LOSING POWER VIA GAS PEDAL, BUT SO FAR, HASN'T STOPPED AGAIN, BUT DOES SLOW DOWN WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ALL OTHER INFO ON FORM IS GOOD. UPDATED 01/29/14

I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE HAS SOMETHING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT EVER BE FOUND BY A TEST DRIVE AT DEALER BY SERVICE MECHANIC. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS STARTED BEFORE THE POSTED MILEAGE ABOVE BUT I DO NOT HAVE ALL PAPERWORK FROM DEALERSHIP THAT SERVICED IT. VEHICLE WILL BOG DOWN AFTER YOU START TO ACCELERATE ON HILLS, AROUND CURVES, AT TAKE OFF. SOMETIMES THIS ENABLES TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BUT NOT ALWAYS. I WILL HAVE NO ACCELERATION FOR SECONDS AND IS VERY UNSAFE AS THE LAST TIME IT DID IT I WAS COMING AROUND A DANGEROUS CURVE WITH A DUMP TRUCK BEHIND ME AND COULDN'T SPEED UP BECAUSE HAD NO POWER WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. I ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN AS I WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND IT ALL BUT STOPPED BESIDE THE VEHICLE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS. NO ACCELERATION CAN LEAD TO SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH DEPENDING ON CIRCUMSTANCES AT TIME OF INCIDENT. I HAVE TAKE TO DEALER MORE THAN 3 TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE TO BE TOLD ITS NOTHING AND THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. EVEN I KNOW THAT SOME CARS HAVE ISSUES THAT ARE NEVER FIXED OR FOUND! I HAVE CONTACTED GM TO GET THE RUN AROUND FOR WEEKS THEN FINALLY BE TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THEY AREN'T PREPARED TO DROP THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT MAY COST $4000. IF I GET HURT IN THIS VEHICLE IT IS GOING TO COST A WHOLE HECK OF A LOT MORE THAN THAT! I DO NOT WANT THE ENGINE DROPPED I AM FILING A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT AND WILL CONSIDER A DEALER BUY BACK BUT I AM NOT DROPPING THIS BECAUSE I AM NOT IMAGINING THIS AS THE DEALER SAID... I HAVE READ SAME ISSUES ONLINE SO I KNOW I AM NOT THE FIRST WITH THE BUICK PROBLEM. THE CAR IS UNSAFE SO WE WILL JUST LET THE ATTORNEYS HASH THIS OUT! *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO-LANE COUNTRY ROAD. TO AVOID A DEAD ANIMAL IN THE ROAD (POSSIBLY WOODCHUCK), I SWERVED HARD LEFT AT WHICH TIME THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, SO MUCH SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD ROLL OVER. THE CAR BOUNCES AT EVERY LITTLE BUMP, PULLS SHARPLY RIGHT WHEN BRAKING, WOBBLES AT THE SLIGHTEST EXCUSE, AND IS VERY UNSTABLE. THERE IS A KERPLUNK NOISE AT THE SMALLEST ROAD INDENTATION (WHICH MAY BE BECAUSE AN ODD TIRE WAS PUT ON THE CAR). IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE VEHICLES PASSING ON THE RIGHT BECAUSE OF THE LARGE HEADRESTS, HUGE MIRROR AND POST BETWEEN DOORS. NOT A SAFE CAR! PLEASE AVOID THIS CAR. *TR

WHILE TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE SIDE (DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE ROOF RAIL AND HEADREST) AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. NO ACCIDENT OR ROAD HAZARD TRIGGERED DEPLOYMENT. THERE WAS A WARNING ("SERVICE AIRBAG") MESSAGE THAT CAME UP IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION DISPLAY MOMENTS BEFORE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER WAS STRUCK BY THE AIRBAG BUT WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO OPERATE, DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES THE ELECTRONIC STABILITRAK CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGE UNEXPECTEDLY - WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS THE BRAKES ENGAGED, THE ENGINE SOUNDED DIFFERENT AND TRAFFIC BEHIND ME HAD TO QUICKLY BRAKE, PRIOR TO THESE INCIDENTS THE SERVICE STABILITRAK - SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING GAVE IT BACK TO ME AND HOUR LATER IT OCCURRED AGAIN RETURNED IT TO DEALER AGAIN GAVE BACK TO ME TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER - IT'S IN THE SHOP NOW SINCE 2/28/13 AND I HAVE RENTAL THANKS. *TR
