I own a 2019 Buick lacrosse e-shift (VIN#[xxx]). Over the last 4-5 mos. I have had 3 incidents where the e-shift mechanism has gone into park without touching the shift control. 1. First occurrence - approx. 5 months ago car was in drive at very slow speed entering parking slot with foot lightly depressed on brake. Car changed to park on it's own. Stopped abruptly, gears grinding, jerking me toward steering wheel. 2. Second occurrence - around 10/10/20, car was in drive, foot lightly depressed on brake, waiting to make left turn at stop light. Car changed to park on it's own. Again the car stopped abruptly, gears grinding, jerking me toward steering wheel. I scheduled appointment with dealer maintenance on 10/13/20.

In October 2021, while driving, the car lost power. Several indicators displayed at the time, including: • Service Engine • Service Stabilitrak • Service Antilock Brakes • Service Transmission I managed to pull the car to the side of the road and restart it, but it was stuck in first gear. After several restarts it performed normally. I took the car to Miller & Sons, they told me they could not find a code and the car was performing normally at that point so there was nothing they could do. They told me if the car did it again, to bring it in immediately so they could get a code for the malfunction. Two weeks later, the same malfunction occurred, I took the car directly to Miller & Sons. Once again I was told they could not find a code or problem and I was sent away again. The third ti

Occasionally there is a loud sound in the cabin of water sloshing back and fourth under the dashboard. Some days it will happen when the engine starts. Other times, it is after driving several miles. Sometimes it happens a few days in a row. Other times it will go a week with no noise. The gm mechanic verified that the coolant level is fine. It happens when the car is stationary or moving. I have not heard it at high speeds.

The contact owns a 2019 Buick LaCrosse. The contact stated that the engine fan failed to shut off after turning off the vehicle. The failure occurred while the vehicle was idling in a drive-thru with the temperature gauge reading that the engine was in the cold position. The driver then drove at speeds between 60 - 70 MPH; after arriving at the residence, the engine fan failed to turn off. The contact disconnected the battery, and all the system functions were reset, and the fan shut off. The failure had become more persistent over time. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer due to the fault codes being erased after disconnecting the battery. The vehicle had not been diagnosed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and it was confirmed th
