Spent 1300.00 to repair abs and traction control. I don't think anything was wrong. Sending unit is in wheel hub assembly and both had to be replaced. Two years later problem is happening again. It will be a cold day in hell before I spend more money on this piece of crap. Sad, Buick used to be a decent car! Why can't they get away from all the BS like ABS and traction control. God how I miss crank windows and keys that lock doors.
Good car

This is my second 1st generation (05-09) Buick Lacrosse. The 3.8 liter engine, reliability, and reasonable cost are good reasons to consider this as a used car. I had some transmission issues with the 1st Lacrosse (hard shifts, failure to downshift) around 100k miles. Changing the fluid/filter cleared up the problems. I recommend changing the transmission fluid between 50k and 75k miles. I had an ignition module go bad on both vehicles. This causes two cylinders to stop firing and driving for any distance will damage the catalytic converter. If your handy, this is an easy repair. The part costs about $125.

I have owned this Buick for a year now, and am overall quite pleased with it. My only complaint is that I hit my head getting in and out of the car and I am only 5'9". I have difficulty reaching the door to close it after i get in; my head hits the door frame constantly.
fabric on seats

my 2001 buick centry was a dream inside and out, the 2009 is a great looking car but I hate the fabric on the seats. It collects every piece of lint and dirt.The dealership advised me to spray it with an antistatic spray, which I did that doesn't really work. Wishing I had my old interior again.
buick lacrosse not what it once was.
