I owned a 2010 Buick Lacrosse. I love it!!! The moment I laid eyes on it, I knew this car belongs to me. My daughter called me and asked me if I seen the new Buick Lacrosse and I said yep! And, I’m going to get it. She said, she wanted to get it too, but it doesn’t makes sense having two Lacrosse’s in the family. I then said, I guess your gonna have to find another car. So far no problems. Basic yearly inspections. Pass every time. 70K miles after 13 years. I’m retired and don’t travel much. It rides new every time. It still looks great. Needs new rear shocks. $60/parts, do it yourself buying the part online. Otherwise, it still running great. Many mechanics at the dealership compliment me on how well the car been taking care of. When you’re blessed with a nice car by God, you really should take good care of it and it will take care of you. No serious…out of the pocket money yet to put in this car. That’s a blessing! I tell everybody to buy this Lacrosse. It’s a great reliable car. I’ve been a Buick owner all my life.

Just bought this car in 2021 with 13k miles on it. It’s in mint condition and I love it. From the exterior to the interior they did a really nice job on this car.

I have a 2014 Buick LaCrosse Premium 1 3.6 FWD and thankfully, I've been able to fix the issues myself like replacing the vent valve solenoid in my vapor canister box that caused me to fail my emissions test, fuel rail sensor, camshaft position sensors, spark plugs and ignition coils and my two front wheel hub bearing and assembly, sway bar links in the front and of course change my own oil regularly. In addition, i did my front and rear rotors and brake pads. Now, the next thing is replacing my struts in the front and shocks in the rear and cleaning my fuel injectors. I hope i won't need any new fuel injectors. That'll be $400 for 6 of them. Owning a car is a big responsibility. Being able to fix quite a bit of your own issues is a big help and something to be proud of.

Family’s had a 2013 LaCrosse leather group with the 3.6L since brand new. Love the Intellilink system and it’s still pretty peppy 9 years later. An awesome car and it will always be one of my favorites.

2010 Lacrosse best car I've ever owned, 205,000 miles (many of that on rural gravel roads and on oil field lease roads) and still runs like a top. Only major repair has been to replace the AC compressor at 140k and the starter at 195k the key is regular maintenance and maybe a little luck. will have to replace the rear shocks before long

I'm glad I still have my 07 Lacrosse with the 3800. Bullet- proof. Don't think I'd let it go for one of these.

Major props to the channel thanks to you all I was able to change my alternator on my 2000 Ford Focus.

We have the “13” model and “Knock on Wood” we’ve had no problems yet! Great info to keep an eye on though!

Sadly, I had to retire my dad's 2011 Lacrosse which I inherited 4 years ago when he passed away. My dad had no problems with the car. He did replace the tires and battery. It was downhill for me. The computer system went out without warning 2 years ago and was replaced. Last week same problem, dead computer. The mechanic also found a leak in the oil tank. I sent the car to the junk man with a tear in my eye. It was a beautiful car, 75,000 miles.

Beautiful video. No screaming at the viewers. Very informative. Thanks

I appreciate the heads up on these known problems.

I have a 16 lacrosse with 75k miles. Nicest car I've ever owned. ❤️

Truly appreciate this video. I have a 2010 lacrosse 3.0 it runs pretty solid but I definitely had ABS stability track issues. It's crazy I hear many people talk about this issue and a lot of people don't know that if the speed sensor is bold you have to change the hub because they're connected

2011 Buick lacross CXL. 124,777 miles on it. More reliable then my bmw. I changed the waterpump, battery , spark plugs, breaks and rotors. This car is a tank if you take care of it. I am changing the alternator with my stimulus check. My only issue is that damn Onstar module. That shit never works.

2012 lacrosse with 72k i got it at 50k only had 1 issue Ac compressor went out. Had a aftermarket warranty company fix it no outta pocket for me. Other than that great car i did alot of proactive maintenance. Trans flush, coolant flush, evap cleaning, throttle body cleaning, new spark plugs, new battery, new water pump, regular oil change of course and new tires/rear shocks i work at a dealership so i get everything discounted and techs work on my car for dirt cheap. Overall the lacrosse is a good car but you gotta fork over the money when its due and sometimes its good to just be proactive and do routine maintenance. Aka more than just oil changes it cost to maintain a reliable vehicle always remember that

Hi All, I do appreciate your honesty as well. Not many will walk you through this. As a woman that knows nothing about cars always feel that I’m being taken advantage of. I have 2012 Buick lacrosse leather for almost 10 months luckily low miles but it was time for a inspection. Found out it needed tires all around and some other stuff I had no clue what it was and it cost me whopping $3000. Smh Haven’t even had car for year yet ughhhh Anyways, I always hear a light noise when driving any idea what that is?

I own a 2010, & still love driving it. These are great cars, but pre-maintenance is key. All cars will need repairs sooner or later but it matters how you maintain these vehicles.

I have the 2015 and haven't had no problems. The only thing I dont like about the car is it has alot of blind spots

Tanks.god.my Buick la crosse.whit 17200 miles runs.exelent

Thanks for being honest about the timing chain. I had my share of Audi timing belts going bad , having a chain i thought would last longer. I have a 2011 Buick Regal in the driveway , beautiful looking car with a new transmission but the motor has a timing problem. I might just junk it.

i like this guy, he speaks the truth right on point

A/c problems like hell

I just purchased a 2014 with 56 K miles and hopefully we made the right choice for a used car.

Great video. The problems I've had with my 2013 buick lacrosse, purchased in 2016 with 42K miles were (and this in order): 1. Water in trunk (it was either the sunroof or tail lights that had a bad seal) covered under warranty thankfully, dealership said around $350-$500, between there i cant remember 2. Hub bearings in the front (I got the abs/stability system error but noticed it driving weird) also covered under warranty, don't recall the price 2. Alternator went bad, $500 fix plus the battery, not covered under warranty 3. Water pump went bad, covered under warranty, $500 to fix if i had to pay out of pocket 4. Catalytic converter went bad, $630 fix out of pocket 5. Mass flow index senor went bad, this set off a check engine light, $200 fix out of pocket 6. Rear view mirror fell off, had to be re-bond by a glass company, $20 7. Right rear shock broken, $500 fix 7. Water in foot well of passenger and rear right passenger, $ to be determined. 2 weeks later and $700 later, it was the rear windshield seal and rear passenger door firewall I have 120K miles on it now. Idk if I'd get it again honestly, maybe it was made on a Monday. I love the way it drives and looks and I'm very thankful the engine and transmission are all great. I hope to get another 120K miles out of it

I have a 2015 LaCrosse. 13000 miles. (Just bought it).. twice now, it just shuts off and everything goes dead. The second time, I was in an intersection. Was told the key fob battery might be dead. Touched the fob to the push start button and started right up. Got a new battery, couple days later went to drive the car and the thing is totally dead. No dash lights no nothing when I open The door. IM LOSING MY MIND W THIS CAR!

Are they worth buying rn today cause I'm looking at one ??

Just bought a 2011 Lacrosse CXL 150k. Same day I transferred the title it lit up like a Christmas tree with misfires and purge valve related issues. Changed plugs and purge valve so we’ll see how things go the next few days. I’ve had 3 Buicks and they were all great cars which is why I bought another

I’m looking into getting a Buick lacrosse or a Buick encore, I love the Buick cars and the interior. Idk what year I’ll end up with just yet though

What would be great is a ballpark estimate of how much the repairs would be, especially the timing chain. I know that there is a difference in the cost of getting it done at the dealer vs an independent garage/mechanic but the reason isn't always the labor rate but that the dealer will replace ALL the parts that can/should be done while replacing the timing belt/chain; like the water pump for example. I am looking to buy a used vehicle but clearly, while some are fantastic vehicles the potential problems outweigh all other considerations.

Had the water pump go on mine really early, always wheel bearings going bad. AC doesn't work. Slips a bit from 1st to second gear. It still runs though...

Thank you was going to look at one for my son going too check out some things else my trailblazer have lots of problems like this

11 regal, had to replace wheel speed sensors, throttle body and a/c compressor. Changed vvt sensors, o2 sensors

Can shift solenoid be bad and not throw a code? My first gear shifts fast when a little warmed up? No leaks or anything though.

Oh, the drain hoses from the sunroof. Completely plugged. Bracket that holds the hose on the sunroof side has a bar across it so I can't get a 1/8" snake down it, at best I could only poke a brake/gear cable from a bicycle, which "bottoms out" at a bend somewhere just before it exits. No idea where's the outlet near the wheels, either, as there are no obvious holes, else I'd snake the hoses from down there, upward. Roof area floods and ruined the sunroof switch after leaking so much, even stained the upper area of the A-pillar.

Those problems don't seem to bad.

Is there a way to change the ambient lighting color ? On a 2013

Don't forget the P0496. Evap flow during non-purge that they all have.

I have the 2010 Lacrosse and had it lose power the other night, didn’t shut off, just wouldn’t go when I pushed on the gas, shut it down several time, and it then proceeded as if nothing ever happened.... got home and it did it again as I was backing into the garage.. shut it off, waited and it moved?. What could this be from?.?

Not bad at all. Only issue I have with mine is the infotainment system, that it sometimes goes mental when playing mp3s from a flash-thingy. Often, it'll "forget" where it was and play one saaaaaaaaaaaame song (to the point where you get sick of it) vs the one that was last playing. That, and forever "indexing..." when restarted. When adding new songs, be sure to change the volume name so it'll reindex the whole thing as a new "disc". Otherwise, you may run into an album that plays duplicates, ie, song 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, etc., instead of 1, 2, 3, etc.

I love my 2011 lacrosse. But so far I have the wheel speed sensor issue, a/c clutch is bad, I think my timing chain need to be replaced but no codes yet. And a dummy light that says to service stabilitrack and also service brake assist

I have a 2016 Lacrosse lights come but wont crank any suggestions or had any problems like this

I wish you were located closer, I would never take my car anywhere else but your shop

Great Video, Good Explaining. The Door Problems Also Happened To The Buick Regals My Brother Had A 2010, Towards The End A Nightmare. Please Do A Video On What To Lookout For On Water Damaged Vehicles Like Brand New, Low Milage Ones, Thank You.

And yes there are some electrical issues I have a 2015 Buick LaCrosse leather doing work on some of the electrical issues could be the heat seat warmers can be turning on automatically radio cutting in and out and headlights working whenever they want with a 2015 you shouldn't be having problems lol

ECM is mounted in the wrong spot on the v6 3.6 next to the engine under the hood. Bad idea. ECM get way to hot and overheats the computer and car shuts off. You have to wait to it cools to restart the car. Simple fix. Relocate the ECM in between the grill and radiator and mount it. The ECM will then stay cool to the touch and car will not cut off believe me the harness will reach. That's the most common problem with the 2012's and other Buick lacrosse's thank me later

I have an 2011 Buick Lacrosse CXS, I got my car optioned out and the only things I done to it was replace the water pump, and get the a/c recharged. The only thing I don't like is that I have to replace the key fob battery every week. Other than that I love my car

like always right on time guys & thanx for the videos guys appreciate very much men 💯

I have p069e code fuel pump comtrol module on a 2016 lacrosse 😐 is the module or the fuel pump?

Thanks. My neighbor owns one and I care for it. Good stuff. His door latch is bad! 😂

Does the dirty throttle body or bad sensor have a noticeable sound or driveability. After engine startup I have a noticeable "tap, tap..." sound. Also very slight sluggishness after pulling off at the green light after stopping in traffic. Thank you.

Everything problem u said I literally have it’s insane

My 2011 does this jerking when I’m at a stop with my foot on the brake can it means my sway link bar is messed up can somebody please help me out

Only major problem I've had on my 2011 Buick LaCrosse CXL is cold starts occasionally, bought it from the dealership in December of 2010 an it has 162k miles but I've also heard from my buddy that works at the Buick dealership the cream color models from 2011 rarely showed up to the shop for major problems

I have a 2011 buick lacrosse cxl 2.4L, bought it used with 70,000 miles on it, all was fine and dandy till i hit 80k something miles when the car would just turn off, couldnt find what was wrong, took it to the mech, said that there was a code for the vvt solenoid but then he check them, said they where ok, and could not find anything wrong. So i changed the vvt sol myself and problem got fixed. Also started to see that the dash said a problem with the power steering and problem is that this car power steering is part of the trans, so you need to give the trans its maintnance, got fixed. electrical issues, i believe it has charging issues because everytime i have the headlights ON and i flip a switch inside the car the headlights dim, but it really isnt that big a deal because everything works. I changed the timing chain and waterpump when it went over 100,000miles just cus, and the car felt amazing after that.

question I replaced ...the fan relays checked coolant temp sensor... everything checks goo the fan will turn off never. what's next.

I love my buick lacrosse I have a 2014 model what I dislike is things like having to change out the whole tail light just to replace break light.... who's idea was this 🤔

Can tou tell me which product to buy for the carbon buildup mentioned in the first problem? Not the brand, just what to actually buy

Anyone know why the air filter is such a pain to change?

My wife bought a 2010 3.6 new. Within two months the first problem started... You would get in the car and the battery would be dead. It would jump off, but you would never know when it was going to happen. This went on for 10 years... GM would do nothing. Then in July 2020, the ECM went out. I went to move the care in the driveway, but it would not start. It was December before the dealer could get an ecm and install it. Since it was sitting up, we had to replace the battery. Since paying over $1000 to replace the ecm, we have not had a starting problem. Next problem, the radio loses its time and the station it was tuned to after the car sits for a couple of hours. No fix for this yet. Now we have a tire air pressure sensor warning. I replaced the sensor, but no luck. We do not trust this car to go on a trip and it only has 49,000 miles.

Does anyone know how to access the 2010 Hard Drive to replace it? I'd like to put in a larger size.

2010 CXS here. 2x Coolant temp sensors causing overheating issues and other problems including bad batteries and killing the PCM during Covid which took 3 months to replace. Also a bum starter. That's a lot for car with only 123,000 miles.

I own a 2012 Buick LaCrosse touring and never had a problem yet.60k miles

Wow. I got robbed by VW. When I owned one and it started showing carbon issue I took it in immediately and they went directly to walnut blasting for $1k. I've heard too steer clear of all modern GM V6s, especially the 3.6l.

Got a 2013 lacrosse 3.6 in the shop today. Gotta do timing chains, did chains on the same engine on an Acadia few months back. These engines blow (I’m a toyota technician)

Thank you for posting this video.

Is the hybrid version of this car good to buy?

Hi! Is this the same issue with the 4cyl 2.0T?

This was helpful I love my Buick lacrosse my best purchase ever...

I've had two of the wheel sensors go bad.from potholes.first time they covered it.second said they made a mistake and weren't supposed to cover.600 bucks to fix

Where is the fuel pump control module located on a 2012 buick lacrosse?? Any help would he greatly appreciated.

2012 Lacrosse flex fuel sensor code went on in very cold weather. Don't use ethanol, can I bypass this somehow? Or just replace it?

best engine cleaner for carbon build up ? I'm going threw the 1st issuel please help

What is the hose for the on the bottom that goes to the bottom by the brake fluid

2010 Buick lacrosse no problems been a great car

Any easy way to get to the low pressure ac port?

Just got a 2012 lacrosse why does it go into auto stop sometimes and so.etimes it doesn't

Good looking on the info

I can get a 2011 with 49,000 miles for $9200; excellent condition. Had a Regal in the past; nothing but issues. Should I pull the trigger on this thing?

Yes, and you 'may notice' that the 3.6 timing chains will destroy your engine, but there's nothing wrong with buying or owning these vehicles. The solution is to buy ANY year or model Toyota.

I have an 2011 i dont crank sometimes but after it sits if fires up and all my dash lights came on at one time i was told it is the fuel pump and fuel going back in the system thats why the indication lights are on but im not sure

i just bought my 2011 cxl buick lacrosse and its been getting increasingly louder and sounds and feels more powerful as i drive it, almost like im increasing the hp on it just by driving it, any ideas? its to the point where cold starts in my driveway piss off neighbors. another problem is whenever i fill up on gas, i stall at the gas station until i rev it while im turning the key, only the first start up though after i fill up edit 7/25/21: the buick is dead i totaled it a month or two back

Thanks guys much appreciated

2010 LaCrosse with 93k miles, only issue i am having with the vehicle is the transmission randomly slips, the only reoccurrence is that it happens sometimes going uphill in curves. Have seen online where other people have had this issue, if anyone knows a solution plz let me know. TY.

Having issues with the a/c and radio electrical issues ? Any suggestions

I'm surprised they never ran into any lighting or electrical issues

What about the parking brake issue

I have new key fob needs to be programmed any suggestions 2016 buick lecrosse

Stabiltrack light comes on and car dies sometimes starts back up but does the same thing again or it doesn’t start at all again until after along time but issue still happens?

I had a '12 Impala with 3.6 and had to replace 2 vvt sensors but after that it was fine traded it in at 132000 as the infamous GM crap multi reading came across dash..service brake system,service Trac control..reduced engine power. My 2011 Malibu had same problem as it began to run very bad but Impala never had running issues. It did hesitate every so often though on acceleration. The diagnostic system on GM's are horrible. Won't let you know when your battery is bad. My Impala was running on a 6 yr old battery and it started fine the cranking amps went bad (tested bad)causing transmission problems. I replaced battery and all was good drove car car another 33,000 miles no issues with trans.I noticed water pumps are an issue on these cars seen Carfax on one that had pump replaced twice in 30,000 miles.

any known eletical issues? my rear defrost is getting no power, pulling up poking my nose where I see a wire, but so far nothing

Are the 17s any good ?🤔

i have a 2011 buick lacrosse sometimes i put the key in the start swich nothing happens got all dash lights all head lights turn the key over a second tome and it cranks over what could cause this?

Can you tell me about the syncronyzation of the engine

I have a 2014 AWD 3.6L Flex Fuel Buick Lacrosse Premium. When I’m stopped at a red light, the car will idle normally but then seems to drop to a low enough point where I can notice a slight vibration before it levels back out. It drives perfect but it’s just an annoyance that I can’t find any answer to. Any ideas?

I bought a 2014 lacrosse the timing chain broke 2 weeks later. I'm getting it fixed then I'm selling it.

This car lets smells from outside in even when AC I set to close from outside

I got my 2011 Buick LaCrosse CXS February 22 2022

I just bought a 2011 and the check engine light came on then the dashboard lit up with a warning to service the stabilitrak. The car wouldnt really move well for the rest of that trip and stalled onme twice since that day havent had any issues, anyone else have this problem?? Also how do I save my radio settings I keep having to set my bass and treble when I get back in the car and my time wont stay set.

I love my Buick ❤
