2005 buick lacrosse. Consumer writes in regards to ignition key and brake pads recall notices. *smd the consumer stated the rotors were made of poor material. Which resulted in premature warping. Just prior to purchasing the vehicle, the dealer claimed they replaced all of the brakes. However, a few weeks later, something cause the consumer to brake hard, and that action caused the steering wheel to break away from the consumers hands and the vehicle went into a wild skid. He almost went into a ditch, but managed to get control of the vehicle.

I received a recall notice 14v355 for the ignition switch. Parts were not available at the time I received the notice. It's been two months since I received the notice. Covert auto group in austin tx says there are still no parts available. I believe it's taking too long to resolve this unsafe condition.

My daughter has a 2005 buick lacrosse that the electrical system shuts off different items that can be dangerous at night. The headlights (dims) will shut off, the radio will turn off or the lights for it will dim or shut off, the dash lights dim or turn off completely, then take quite a while to come back on. Sometimes it affects only different parts of those listed above. The issue is we have had it into a repair shop at least twice for it and they have replace some parts they thought could cause it, but it hasn't stopped it from happening. It is only noticeable in the evenings when the lights are needed but it happens at any time but when you want to duplicate the problem. No one seems to know what the problem is because when we get it to the shop, the problems are no longer showing up. It has done this for her at least 6 times.

I was driving out interstate taking my daughter and grandkids home it was dark and all the sudden my headlights went off, had to try and get pulled over to shoulder I was scared I would wreck because I could not see where I was going, got pulled over and after turning car off and on several times finally after about 30 mins or so my headlights came back on. I never know when this is vgoing to happen and it frightens me to think I could have a serious accident with my 8yr old child in the car with me. The dealer I purchased from will not work with me to get this properly fixed.
Low beams intermittently fail at night, then self-restore within a few minutes. High beams work. Already changed the signal arm switch, the headlamp in-dash switch, the relay in the fusebox, both headlamp assemblies. Homestead chevrolet/cadillac dealer and various "smart" mechanic shops seem to be outwitted by this one.
My wife and I were driving our new (to us) 2005 buick lacrosse with the rear window defroster on in sanford, nc. It was on for approximately 10 minutes. The rear window exploded into the vehicle while we were driving with what appeared to be an 8 inch hole in the middle. We bought the car approximately 3 weeks ago used with a 30 day warranty from steve jones honda in aberdeen nc. We haven't even made the first payment and we still have a temporary tag on the vehicle. The dealership refused to assist in any way with the vehicle repair and now we have spent over $300 on a new rear window for our new car. The wires in the defroster were observed to be a different color in the center of the window - dark orange / red. This incident was very frightening and appeared to simply be a result of a malfunctioning rear window defroster. We had the shop not hook up the defroster to the new window to avoid another of these incidents. We could find no recall information for this issue with this vehicle. Though we did find one other incident online of the exact thing occurring to a mother who had their infant child in the back of their 2006 lacrosse when this occurred.
