2010 Buick Lacrosse brakes problems

Filed Jun 8, 2026 · Brakes, Driver assistance · NE

Two warming lights come on when I turn the steering wheel - the ABS and the stability control light. When I turn the steering wheel both of these lights turn on. I viewed a video about this problem and the suggestion was made that the problem could be a safety issue and that it might be corrected by setting the car on a level spot and then turning the key to the on position (but not starting it) and then turn the steering wheel as far as it would go to the right and then to the left as far as it will go. Then turn the key to turn the car on. The problem I had trying that was that the steering wheel seemed to be locked in its neutral position so I was unable to perform that fix.

Could not press on steering box on left above. Engine shut off while taking a right turn driving a few days after we bought the car. Steering and brakes went. Car shut off in middle of the road on a busy street. Car did restart and drive home about one mile. Drove the car 2 more times with no problem. Then on day 10 drive car couple miles to store on very busy street; car shut off while driving taking right turn and steering and breaks did not work; almost ran into an oncoming vehicle as car would not steer into store parking lot. Turned car in automatic ignition and it started; waived oncoming car; apologized; and car was parked. Drove home without incident. Going to call honda dealer that sold me this car, there is recall on 2000-2009 I just researched, but unsure if recall extends to this behicle 2010 model. Please contact me if any action or remedy in law I may have. This is very dangerous situation; no one should have to be physically injured before obtaining a fa ir remedy. Car recall should have turned up on car fax done by honda. Please contact me regarding recalls on this vehicle. I can't check this box off below. Tech issues. Thankyou! This is frightening!

When garcia buick in santa fe nm drove my car into their shop they said the brake pedal went to the floor and the car almost ran into a wall. They told me the problem was traced to a malfunctioning check valve in the power brake boster pump inlet pipe assembly p/n 20935438. This is a terrible design and a huge saftey problem. The loss of a vacuum assist device should never allow the brake pedal to go to floor and not stop the car.

I noted the exact same problem reported on the federal safety agency site for this same make and model of car. It's included under the heading vehicle speed control. I just purchased this car in the past month and now notice that each time I try to move my foot from the foot feed to the brake pedal my foot catches on the side of the brake pedal. It seems to me to be an obvious safety risk in that it takes another movement of my foot to get it on the brake pedal slowing my response to brake. I fear that if I need to stop quickly, I will either miss the brake pedal or will have a delay in reaching it which could cause a serious accident if braking quickly is necessary to avoid a crash. This happens every time I move my foot from the foot feed to the brake pedal!

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 buick lacrosse. While driving various speeds, the brake and stabilitrak warning indicators illuminated continuously. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician recommended that the vehicle be restarted when the warning indicators illuminated. The contact mentioned that the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the service stabilitrak needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred months later. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

Driver seat moves out of position by itself,I just had the stabili trak light come on which in turn shut off my ABS I had replaced the bad bearing today but was told the other 3 will need it also as this bearing is a defective produce and should have been recalled as they fall apart shutting off you ABS system.this is not a cheap vehicle to purchase I also had to replace my all wheel drive pump which was very costly I believe gm should recall the wheel bearings on these vechiles before someone get hurt! I like gm but you have dropped the ball on this one!!

Engine quit causing brakes and steering to become inoperative. This is the 5th time this has happened. I have previously reported this to the federal safety agency and general motors.I never received a response from gm. I took the vehicle to my dealer and the only thing they did was reprogram the vehicle but apparently it did no good. I think the problem is in the ignition system.

3/28/14: took car to dealership as my brake pedal was appx. One inch from the floor when depressed while stopping car. Was told brake pads, calipers & brake fluid were all okay. I was advised to monitor...that "condition was due to brake pads wearing & when brake pads wear, the pedal will move further down because pads have to travel farther in to press against the rotors". 5/28/14:returned car to dealership as brake pedal was almost touching the floor when depressed. They determined that my master cylinder had failed...was replaced.
