| 2017 Buick LaCrosse - engine carbon buildup fix | 80Relevance | 4 years ago | Paradox | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| My 2017 Buick LaCrosse has 50,000 miles and the check engine light has come on. My trusted independent repair shop says the code is specific to the fuel module. This has been replaced 3 times (I was only charged once) and soon thereafter the check engine light comes back on with the same code. They eventually replaced the fuel pump but the problem persists. My mechanic has called local GM dealer mechanics he knows as well as putting the issue out there on all the internet mechanic related web places he knows. Nobody seems to have an answer. I googled some s ... | |||||

| 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. | |||||

| Scotty, that is incorrect. The 2017-2019 Buick LaCrosse is assembled in Detroit, MI. Meanwhile, the 2018-2020 Buick Regal Sportback GS is assembled at the GM-Opel Russelsheim factory by GM Europe for the North American market. Source: | |||||

| @dan Thank you so much for the mechanical in depth analysis. I don’t understand why you said this is a rebadged opel insignia. Its not. The Buick regal is a rebadged opel, not the LaCrosse. The LaCrosse is its own entity. I also have another question, if the 8 speed is not very reliable, what about the GM 9 speed? The 2017 LaCrosse used the 8 speed but they quickly switched up in 2018 & 2019 to the new GM 9 speed, would that be a better buy? | |||||

| From what I found online, this Alpheon el300 is a Korean Daewoo (Daewoo is now formally known as GM Korea). Daewoo was less successful and popular than Kia or Hyundai. Now, from my brief search, it seems that this Korean Chevy is actually a localized version of a Buick LaCrosse. So, if that is true, check into reviews for that year's Buick LaCrosse. That's one thing. Another goes to parts availability, in future. That's also something to check into, given that there are likely to be some differences between this Korean Daewoo/Chevy/Buick and an Ameri ... | |||||

| ... partially by Opel engineers.It's just a stretched and improved Opel insignia, a plusher nicer Buick Regal.-That's not just the Opel Regal and LaCrosse, the Buick Encore is an Opel Mokka, and most new and old GM sedan/small-SUV models are just Opels in disguise - pretty much all of them use either a GM-Opel platform or an Opel engine (such as the Opel B-series, called "SGE" by GM)-But since PSA's (Peugeot-Citroën) take over of Opel, Opel engineers responsible for designing these cars are been mostly fired and new Opel cars share parts and platforms with PSA ... | |||||

| 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. | |||||

| I LOVE the 2017 Buick LaCrosse, everything about it, the price, the interior, the exterior, everything. I am just worried about the reliability. I know the GM makes a pretty crappy prouduct nowa days but LaCrosse doesn't seem to really have any issues, the drive train also seems to be not that bad. The transmission is a Toyota derived Aisin 8 speed automatic, which should be reliable, and the engine is a simple 3.6 v6 without any turbos. I know that the 3.6 had issues in the past when it released in the late 2000s, but by now these issue probably have been ... | |||||

| Hi, I am looking to buy a newer used car, 2017-2019 Buick LaCrosse. I am currently driving a 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue sedan. I have reviewed multiple videos on the LaCrosse, several. With GM going through its issues, should I put this car at the end of my list? It appears to have better reliability than most GM products. I am looking for an everyday driver with long distance comfort. thanks FYI: Honda accord, Toyota avalon & camry , Lexus ES, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia K5 are all on my list for newer used car options. | |||||
| Can a 2017 Buick Lacrosse Tow more | 42Relevance | 5 years ago | zwat | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I am interested in a 2017 Buick LaCrosse with the 3.6 V6 and 8 speed Aisin transmission. The owners manual says it can only tow 1000 pounds which surprised me as that is the same capacity as my little Chevy cruze. I did some research and US tow ratings for smaller vehicles tend to be understated as the same vehicles in europe will have a rating 2-3 times higher. Can the car reasonably tow more than this? Also, what are your thoughts on the new LaCrosse in general, would it hold up over time? | |||||
