  Car makes a loud noise when starting/also stalls at times - 2011 Buick LaCrosse
  By lacrosseowner1 - June 25 - 3:22 pm

  I bought my 2011 buick lacrosse last year. Im very dissatisfied,,, this car has been to the dealership three times already. The car makes a loud annoying sound immediately after starting it. It has stalled on me several times and at times doesnt seems to be able to get enough power to make it go.. This will be my first and last Buick. Looks can definetely be deceiving

  LaCrosse Lemon - 2011 Buick LaCrosse
  By lacrosselemon - June 6 - 1:30 pm

  I purchased a new LaCrosse for $44,000 and are having major safety problems. The power steering has been worked on and replaced numerous times and is still making noises. The exhaust system had to be replaced after numerous times at Crown Buick and finally was replaced at 3 months. The car will not start intermittently. This has happened on numerous occasions and the service department manager nor the mechanics can fix this. The trunk pops open while driving and the latch was replaced. Crown Buick and GM are aware of these ongoing problems. GM offered to replace the vehicle but has not done so to date. The car has less than 5,000 miles. I am a prisoner to my home because of this car.

  This car vibrates - 2011 Buick LaCrosse
  By 6600madison - December 7 - 9:01 am

  I have the V6 with 18 inch wheels and have accrued 4500 miles on this car. Although beautiful, it has a constant vibration through the seats and causes the legs of my pants to visibly move. It has been back to the dealer twice. Once for a balancing which did nothing and once for a force balancing with one of the tires being replaced.The ride is worse than before. The vibration is so noticeable that I cannot enjoy anything about this care. I drive the same roads in a Toyota Solara and Hyundai Sonata which both have far superior rides. I have never been so disappointed with a car and will never return to GM. A huge mistake to leave Toyota. I wish I had paid the extra money to buy the Avalon.

  Very Dissapointed - 2011 Buick LaCrosse
  By cbrzezinski - January 23 - 10:54 am

  Getting 14 miles in city and 20 in highway - far below EPA estimates. V-6 engine and steering wheel vibrate - dealer says thats normal as well as mileage. Very difficult to get into car due to low roof line. No storage, interior trunk release and interior gas cover release. Cheap carpets and no glove box lock. Has several fit and finish and mechanical defects - already been in for repairs several times. There is much better out there and for far less money and aggravation.

  Not world class - 2011 Buick LaCrosse
  By cbrzezinski - December 23 - 5:34 pm

  We bought this car maily because it looks great. But thats where it ends. There are several serious blind spots, the front headrests push your head very far forward making it very uncomfortable. Cheap materials like the carpeting, no trunk release from inside the car, no gas door lock, etc. After 2,000 miles the car has been in for several repairs with more to come. We are getting 12 miles to the gallon - dealer says all his customers are getting far less than whats advertised. Several mouldings dont even come close to lining up. Fit and finish widely varies by each vehicle on lot. Any interested buyers?
