1. The driver-??s door window motor burnt out causing the window switch to smoke. The fuse never failed. The car was diagnosed at the dealership. It is at the dealership now awaiting the purchase of repair parts. 2. I was told that it was a safety issue by the dealership because the switch could have started a fire. The mechanic had it smoking during the diagnosis. He did not want to put it back together until repaired. 3. The dealer was the one that diagnosed it. 4. The problem was not reported to any other agency. 5. There were no warning signs or messages before the motor failed and the switch burned up. I am also have problems with the radio where it doesn-??t now shut off when the drivers side door is opened. It also started when the window motor stopped working. I believe that it all related. I will be calling the dealership back to voice that concern as well. I am very lucky that there wasn-??t a fire after I keep trying to get the window to roll down.

The contact owns a 2014 Buick Lacrosse. On several occasions, the contact applied the brake pedal to engage the push button start, but there was no response. The dealer was unable to replicate the failure. A second dealer indicated that they replaced the key fob battery, but the repair was not a solution to prevent the failure. The manufacturer provided no repair solution. The contact had no remedy from the manufacturer pertaining to the brake system with the push button start feature. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 26,000....updated 06/14/17

A service power steering and service stabilitrak message is now displayed in the information center. A ABS and traction control light is also now on.

Was driving the vehicle at a fairly lower speed. (35 mph). Was utilizing the cruise control, moved my right leg, and due to the positioning of the ignition, my leg bumped the keys slightly, which caused the key to turn into the position where the vehicle was no longer running. Upon noticing that the engine had stopped running, was still successfully able to place the car into neutral and restart the vehicle without causing an accident- however, had I been driving at a higher rate of speed, this could have been catastrophic.
