On 1/22/2020 when I was driving down the road my stabilitrac light came on causing my car to slow down to 25 mph. Wouldn't go faster than that..I took the battery cables off for about 20 min. And the stabilitrac light came off so I drove the care home and right before I got home it came on again. Also in 1/20/2020 my left headlight. Does not work. I put a knew light bulb on and it worked for a few days and it went out again.

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.

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.

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).

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 Buick. 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.

Three days ago, while on a trip from the West coast of Florida to the East coast of Florida; and while driving on the highway at 65 mph, the warning bells started dinging and the messages: Service stabilitrak, ABS, and park assist off kept flashing off and on; the car began jerking and losing engine power; the tachometer, speedometer, and temperature gauges were jumping around all over the place; and the check engine light came on. (a video of what occurred was taken to show as proof). I managed to pull off the side of the road, turned the car off and sat for several minutes, then started the car again. Less than a minute after I got back on the highway, the same events occurred again. After at least 30 minutes or more of the car continuing to malfunction while driving; it suddenly stopped giving me warning signals and engine power seemed to stabilize; however, the check engine light remained on. Once I reached my destination, I didn't use the car for two days. My return trip home, which was approximately 140 miles, was uneventful; however, the very next morning on my way to work, while sitting in traffic on the expressway, the warning bells suddenly started ringing again, and the service stabilitrak and ABS lights came on. Fortunately I was able to make it to work and called the Buick dealer to bring my car in to have it checked. In the past few months, this problem has occurred 3 to 4 times, but each time only lasted moments and never to the extreme that it did. I received a letter from Buick about 3 months ago that pertained to such issues and loss of engine power; and the letter stated that the car should be taken to the Buick dealer and repaired at no cost. This is an extremely dangerous problem that needs to be addressed and resolved immediately.

Approximately two months after purchasing a Buick Lacrosse I started to experience the vehicle shutting down when the car was parked or idle. Shortly after the check engine light came on. I then took the vehicle to the dealer and they claim they could not find anything wrong with it. I decided to get a second opinion so I took the vehicle to another certied repair shop and they suggested that I get and upper engine flush. Supposedly because this type of vehicle is known for massive amounts of carbon build up. So, I got the upper engine flush on my vehicle but the very next day the check engine light came on again. The. Machanic advised me that it would take more than one engine flush to fix the problem. So after not two but three upper engine flushes the problem of having the check engine light intermittently display is not resolved. No one can seem to find a diagnosis for my vehicle problems not even the dealer. Most recently, the dash board display light periodically goes out, and an unfamiliar noise is coming from the driver's front tire. Once again, I have taken my vehicle to a certified machanic and the issue is not detectable.

While driving the brake will suddenly grip tire, and the traction control light will come on. This happens on dry roads. The car was taken to winner Chevrolet who thought they fixed it, as soon as I left the dealer it did it again. After 7 days of trying to figure out the problem I was told to take it to a Buick dealer. Reliable Buick of roseville had the car for 9 days, they were consulting with Buick techs, thought they finally fixed it, brought it home yesterday and it just did it again. I've noticed a lot of people are having this problem and also there are recalls on 2012 Buick Lacrosse for this. Recall #11222. Something needs to be done before someone gets in an accident.

Took my car in for regular service, my wife drove it home, the car died after 8 miles. She slowed for stop light, car suddenly died. Electrical system went crazy, car lost power, died. I backtracked to help, . I tried starting the car but didn't have any compression. I called dealer, they sent toll truck. According to them, they checked it, drove it a few times, said couldn't find anything wrong, called GM for help. The dealer's service rep said GM told them heard of similar incidents in Lacrosse. GM recommended they apply lubricant cables connecting to ECM. Did so. Had 3 people test drive car, said operating fine. Received call from dealer stating problem corrected, car good to go. Picked up car in company mechanic friend. Rep explained what they did, checked all electrical circuits, breakers, connections, etc and everything appeared to be working fine. Told him that my wife didn't feel safe driving the car now because of incident and he said car should be fine for at least 5 years. I asked what if fix ididn't work? he said that it would probably require a new ECM. Well, car died again yesterday, April 4, about 1:30 pm while driving with my wife to our son's house. Was going about 40 miles/hr after exiting highway, car starting stalling, jerking and all of the console lights were going crazy. Check engine light went on, a service stability track warning and the key symbol appeared on center console, it died completely. Tried restarting it but it wouldn't. waited for traffic to pass, then I rolled car backwards toward the curb to get out of traffic lanes. I waited a few minutes and then started the cart again. I went a few hundred feet, then it died again. I did this 3 more times until getting to my son's house where I was able to park it. I called the dealership about 20 minutes later, the service department had already closed.

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"

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.
