| 2003 Buick park avenue A couple of weeks ago,a friends 2003 Buick Park Avenue started losing acceleration power, especially noticeable on slight inclines. Gotten worse. Replaced the MAF (OEM), after trying to clean it. If the MAF sensor is unplugged, the car run fine, so the car appears to run in some default mode. Plugging the MAF back in, the car is back to hesitation/ loss of power. No trouble codes (except when the MAF is unpugged, so the car can be driven). Replaced the PCV. It was sticking. Also oil passed through the to the MAP sensor, so ... | |||||

| It's just an improved Opel Insignia. At this point that doesn't seem to be a good thing - it's not Aisin's finest. The first one to adopt that transmission were Volvo and Peugeot, Toyota began using only recently. It's not simple, we are talking about a GDi engine, with VVT on both cams, cylinder deactivation, stop-start and more. Typical GM engineering, there's a big market for remanufactured (improved) units because the original one fails. "The original 3.6L GDI engine is susceptible to issues that include: oil consumption, dry start-up, piston scuffing, cylinder bore wear, head gasket failure and leaks, camshaft noise, VVT failure, low oil pressure/knocking, valve guide wear, spun reluctor wheel/timing, fuel leaks, and runability." 125k miles or 10 years - probably without any major issues. But that's not very long term, after that it's bound to have some issues. Are you sure? I was interested in a LaCrosse / Impala but it drove exactly like an Opel Insignia. It's not very sporty, not agile, I personally was disappointed - It really lacks handling and agility. (that being said, I generally don't like cars that have 0 "drama" when driving so your experience may differ) Consider a Mazda6, it's very posh and the naturally aspirated version is solid. Are you sure? I mean the LaCrosse was facelifted pretty much immediately, in 2018 it got styling upgrades, in 2019 a full facelift for the 2020 model year, and then canceled for the US market. It doesn't look bad, but not as harmonic and inviting as competitors. I think the Implata (same car different badge) looked better. | |||||

| Answer to: 2015 Buick Lacrosse 2.4 Hybrid | 17Relevance | 3 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The Buick Lacrosse is not a real hybrid in my book. It is basically a start stop system. It is a BAS system, which is a belted alternator starter. To compare, Toyota has an actual electrical motor connected to the drive train with a geared eCVT. The Buick system uses a belt and a traditional transmission. It’s like your alternator/starter making the car move. It’s a cheap way to make a “hybrid”. I am not to familiar with the Lacrosse, but The Car Care Nut, an honest mechanics like Scotty, suggests to stay away from belt driven hybrids. | |||||

| Should I buy this 1989 Buick Century sight unseen? | 23Relevance | 4 years ago | ct5000 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello! I was looking to buy this 1989 Buick Century from a Classic Car Dealer located in Atlanta, Georgia. This is my dream car because it is the same type of car my great grandmother used to drive me around in. I want to purchase it because of the condition and the mileage, and it seems to have been kept really clean. I am only skeptical because I do not live close enough to see this car in person, so I would be having it shipped to my home address. Please let me know if this is a bad decision or not. Thank you so much in advance! If the link doesn't work, ... | |||||

I'm trying to keep these as long as possible. 1999 Buick Regal - 3800 Series II engine, factory supercharged, 183,000 miles There is a low growling sound when accelerating in first and second gear.

Aside from the noise, the vehicle shifts smooth and is responsive upon acceleration. I'm wondering if the pr ... | |||||
