  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    SEAT BELTS:PRETENSIONERUS

    A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOWUS

    In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of one or both of the side impact air bags, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. Additionally, if the air bag does not properly inflate, the driver or passenger is at an increased risk of injury.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEMUS

    A loss of power steering may result in increased manual steering effort, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    SUSPENSION:REARUS

    If a rear-suspension toe-link disconnects, it may cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMPUS

    A damaged fuel line can create a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONUS

    Missing bolts on the start-stop accumulator endcap could result in a transmission oil leak and may progress to a loss of propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash. A transmission fluid leak in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of fire.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPERUS

    A reduction of braking performance can increase the risk of a crash.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISCUS

    If a brake pad detaches from caliper, there may be a sudden reduction in braking, lengthening the distance required to stop the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTSUS

    Headlamps that do not illuminate reduce the driver's ability to see the roadway and reduce the vehicle's visibility to oncoming vehicles, both of which increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    SUSPENSION:REARUS

    A rear toe link fracture may reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    SUSPENSION:REARUS

    A rear toe link fracture may reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:ELECTRICAL HEATING ELEMENTUS

    IF THIS CONDITION AFFECTS THE DEFROST SYSTEM WHEN IT IS REQUIRED, IT MAY DECREASE THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY, AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUSTUS

    If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)US

    THE IMPROPER DIAGNOSING MAY CAUSE THE ESC TO FALSELY ACTIVATE, RESULTING IN SUDDEN CHANGES IN VEHICLE HANDLING AND DECELERATION, PARTICULARLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER DIFFICULTY IN MAINTAINING THE VEHICLE'S DESIRED PATH OF TRAVEL AND DESIRED VEHICLE SPEED, AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMUS

    If the vehicle is continued to be driven, the engine may stall and/or the vehicle may not start. In addition, there may be a burning or melting odor, smoke, and possibly a fire in the trunk.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    SUSPENSION:REARUS

    A rear toe link fracture may reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWAREUS

    If engine braking is unexpectedly removed, it may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITIONUS

    If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMUS

    Without an audible indicator, the driver may not be aware that the driver's door is open while the key is in the ignition, increasing the risk of a vehicle rollaway. If the passenger windows, rear windows, and sunroof can function when the vehicle is turned off and the driver is not in the vehicle, there is an increased risk of injury if an unsupervised occupant operates the power closures.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONUS

    If a vehicle's shift cable disengages from the transmission shift lever, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the driver may be able to shift the lever to the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.

  • Buick LACROSSEdate unknown
    SEAT BELTS:PRETENSIONERUS

    A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
