problem #3

LaCrosse CXL 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

Actually this problem started less than a week after I purchased this car BRAND new. It cut off in middle of me turning across traffic with my 10 year old & 4 month old in the car. It has been towed a total of 12 times. They say it's a flaw in this or that, but basically it shuts down locks up and won't move.

The car has less than 85000 miles but it is now over 4 years old b/c it has NEVER been on the highway and I will not drive it at night. I learned that they will continue to say it's something different every time it's towed so it would fall under the lemon law. GM did pay a couple of my car notes but they never have to worry about me buying another Buick again. Worst experience ever and truly GM never really cared about my safety.

The worst thing the president did was bailing GM out they all should have been left without jobs.... Stability light comes on, my driver seat stopped moving and to boot I had to go and purchase another vehicle just to get around safely. Glad I believe in karma and understand that GM not standing behind their product ultimately means that the problems they had once financially they will have again I just hope the government doesn't rescue them the next time.

LaCrosse 4 cyl

I had taken the car in twice with issues of the car not shifting properly and was told the car was fine. The transmission finally went out and left me and my family stranded for hours cause the car was undriveable

LaCrosse CXL

  • Automatic transmission
  • 11,000 miles

I got this car new. At 11,000 miles the transmission started to get stuck and would hardly move. I took it to be repaired and they could not find the problem. They had to order a special piece of equipment to check it with. I waited for 1 and 1/2 months and the equipment have not come.. So today i when to traded it in. I still haven't find out whats wrong with it. All they could tell me so far is that the problem is internal. I like the look of this car but i hope there's not to many Lemons.
