LaCrosse 6-cyl

  • 5,000 miles
Multiple times since purchase air bag indicator has either blinked, has been constantly on or hasn't been on at all. Instrument panel display, ie: Mileage indicator, temperature display, trip indicator hasn't worked on occasion, radio and/or interior temperature display doesn't come on until you drive for five to forty five minutes. Door locks have actuated either up or down while driving. Remote door locks either don't work at all or one or more does, one or more doesn't work, when manually using a key security system has activated thus sounding the horn. Many of these items have been discussed with my dealer and we were told by them that GM is aware of the problem but there isn't a fix at this time.

LaCrosse 6-cyl

  • 23,129 miles
My 2009 Buick Lacrosse cx at 23,129 miles had a problem with the passenger side air bag light blinking from off to on, it also had the passenger side air bag icon on the drivers side dash. It was under warranty so the pps module was replaced, then it happened again in April 2014 with under 34,000 miles. Again the pps module was replaced. Counting the pps module that came in the car when it was new that burned out, the one that replaced that burned out, it now has it's 3 rd. Pps module. I believe it is caused by the after market leather seat covers that were put on at the time of purchase, especially since there were recalls in the past for that very problem. I have ask GM to buy back the seat covers but, they seem to be ignoring me. It seems no one else in the country is having this problem.

2009 Buick Lacrosse. Consumer writes in regards to a defective airbag the consumer stated when a person was seated in the passenger seat, the warning light would come on a times and sometimes it wouldn't. the consumer stated over the years, several lights would illuminate on the instrument panel, such as the ABS, seat belt, tire pressure, and radio, etc. The dealer had the vehicle for eight days. Everything seemed satisfactory, but after three days, the air bag warning light and other instrument panel lights illuminated again. Updated 02/07/12.
