Description of the problem | Shortly after purchasing this vehicle i found that while rounding a corner the power dies and i lost control of the vehicle since i had not power steering or brakes. I was able to steer the car to the berm and waited until power was restored. This has occurred many times. Upon checking with the dealer i was told buick is aware of the problem, but there is no recall. Then i began having alot of problems with the stabilitrak - the car loses power and surges. Again the dealer told me they are aware of the issues with the lacrosse, but there was no recall and the cost of repairs was over $2000. |
