My vehicle a 2011 Buick lacrosse cxl 2.4l engine rpo laf. I have a problem with the engine making noise due to balance shaft chain special coverage recall 12313 where back then they included in the recall the balance shaft chain, tensioner, and also the engine mount high pressure fuel pump, then to say this bulletin has been revised to remove special coverage adjustment for the fuel pump that is now included in voluntary emissions recall 43180. Updates have been made to the part information, service procedure, and warranty transaction information sections. Please discard all copies of bulletin 12313b. Came the revised 12313b and now as of september 2016 revised again to 12313c. When you look at the 43180 it does not include the 2011 Buick lacrosse with the same engine rpo laf. I've cal

Two days later the light is back on this time the car is sent to Buick dealership in gilbert they replaced the throttle position sensor and I was told issue is fixed 24 hours later car is back in reduced power mode

The component is the brakes and the brake pedal while not engaging the brakes they remained on even after the vehicle was shut off .the vehicle brake lights remained on this was not duplicated when I took the car in by the dealer of how the brake remains engaged we even when not being used I would have to release the break by pulling it up with my foot while driving . This was duplicated and witnessed by two others the dealership where I bought the car and a trusted mechanic. which no avai there was no warning light indicating any type of concern prior to it doing this. the brake pedal being slightly stuck my transmission shifts not properly and hot feeling to the car now I have a warning saying that AC will not work due to the overheating of my engine which I believe to have repaired how

Upon leaving dealership after purchase of new car, turned right to exit and transmission jumped into neutral, almost rear-ended. Thought I may have hit shifter. Another turn from stop and trans jumped into neutral during turn while entering traffic. Just missed being hit and perhaps killed. Manually returned to "d". Life threatening defect. Ret to dealer and demonstrated. Next day dealer advised that a "module" on the transmission was installed backwards by gm mfg. Advised gm day after occurrence. Later gm called and told me car had been repaired and get it or "they" would charge me storage. Obviously, after exposing wife and myself to great risk, we did not want that vehicle. Now gm will not speak to me as I try to ensure that the autos produced prior and post to mine were verified to ens

While accelerating from a stop at an intersection and intitating a trn on a city street, the engine stopped and lost power steering and power brakes. The engine had to be jumped and a rod knock sound occurred. The engine later siezed up permanently at the service center. The vehicle was well maintained and oil levels were within normal operating range. There were no prior indications of engine trouble.

Steering freezes up in mostly damp, wet days when driving very slow into parking area's.....steering completely locks...cannot move wheel at all....after a minute or less, I hear a noise and the wheel is unlocked... Happened numerous times over last two months , but seems to be happening more past few weeks...I am afraid to drive car...

Have had continued problems with adjustable steering wheel locking mechanism the dealer has advised that it "is the way it is" returned multiple times . I was to find a major service repair on line about the problem and called the dealership. It was then supposed to be repaired...but within 5 miles of our home on a twisting road the steering wheel became disconnected from the locking devise!!!! I was to loose control of the car due to the way it happened...without any warning and lost control went off the road. I will not drive the car..($40,000 +) due to the way it is now. The dealership..gm..will be sending a tow truck to re service the problem today...(if the safety problem is correctable ) this has been a on going problem and dealership says 'this is the first time we have see

I purchased this vehicle a few months ago and have had two near misses. Both involving a person as I was turning a corner. The driver has a huge blind spot (14") between the windshield and side window glass which intefers with seeing. In addition, this blind spot is close to the driver, making it much worse. *tr

Blind spot warning system (bsws) inoperative que on vehicle multi function information display (mfid), located behind the steering wheel in a 3"x4" area is inadequate. The bsws on this vehicle is very sustainable to road spray during rain events that renders this system inoperative. The issue is in the warning that is displayed to the driver when this occurs. The message displayed is only shown for approximately 5 secs, then is removed without any driver action acknowledgement . No icon is shown to remind drivers of active messages. If this message is missed, the driver is not aware that this system is inoperative. Also, there is no message telling the driver when this system becomes operational again. Two possible outcomes. 1. The driver does not believe in the system, losing th

2011 Buick lacrosse (60,000 miles - properly maintained by 73 year old man) broke down on interstate hwy. While vacationing in knoxville, tn - Buick begins to stall and the engine light came on (was flickering and no acceleration). We stopped immediately at a gas station and called aaa - who towed us to a certified aaa repair/tow company. We initially suspected it would be the fuel pump or filter . Mechanic in knoxville who is a ASE certified mechanic for 40 years said it wasn't the fuel pump so he put his diagnostic tester and determined there were more problems and started to take apart the engine....and found the main valves were broken and fell into the pistons. Engine failure and he said in his 40 years this had happened only 3 times but not on a 2011 car with only 60,000 miles.

I recently bought a used 2011 Buick lacrosse cxl. I like the car a lot but after a few trips I noticed that my neck and head position was constantly being pushed forward making me more and more uncomfortable. I also noticed that the headrest is so large that it is difficult to see behind me especially to the left for oncoming traffic or obstacles. I understand that the manufacturers were required by NHTSA to make the headrests too far forward and too large for "safety" reasons. If so, you have succeeded in making my time behind the wheel both uncomfortable and less safe because my neck is constantly being pushed forward and I can't see behind me very well. I doubt that you will respond or, more unlikely, make changes to improve this problem but I have to do something to express my out

The brake pedal gets 'stuck' during normal breaking. I have to put my foot under the pedal and pull it back up or the brakes will not disengage.

We bought a new 2011 Buick lacrosse cxs 11-15-10, drove it 200 miles and the front suspension failed in costco parking lot at 10 MPH and no impact. The rim popped open at the center seam creating a big oval opening that locked up on the brake caliper, stopping the wheel which snapped the tie rod end, letting the tire wedge into the inner fender then the a-arm bent and caused some damage to the engine cradle. My wife cracked her head on the side window it went down so fast. The general motors engineer came to investigate the incident, found no impact damage, but refused to discuss the structural failure of the left front suspension. The tire shows no impact bruises and the rim has no damage except for a small chunk on the inside of the rim where the steering Ram popped the rim when it lock

Ii cannot control the defroster or fan control. The VIN. No. Says this was on recall . But the Buick dealer in my area said it no a recall on 2011 Buick lacrosse.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 Buick lacrosse. The contact stated that after exiting his vehicle and coming back a few moments later, he noticed that the trunk was open. The contact believed the trunk released on the remote key was very sensitive and released the trunk while he was away. The manufacturer was contacted and they advised him that they would look into the matter. Also, the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they advised him that they would order two new remotes. The failure mileage was approximately 50. The current mileage was approximately 20,000....updated 01/04/13 *bf the dealer replaced both remotes. However, they stated the remotes would probably continue to exhibit the exact same problem, as the new remotes, as they are identical to the old ones.
