2015 Buick Lacrosse problems
The Buick LaCrosse is a four-door, front-wheel-drive sedan manufactured by Buick since model year 2005, and marketed variously across four generations for the North American and Chinese markets.
The first-generation LaCrosse replaced the Century and Regal in North America beginning for model year 2005 as a five- or six-passenger, four-door, front-wheel-drive, V6-powered sedan using GM's mid-size W platform—and marketed in Canada as the Buick Allure. Notably, the first generation was also offered with a V8 engine, as a high-performance sub-model marketed as the LaCrosse Super (2008–2009). LaCrosse production and marketing began for China with model year 2006.
The second-generation LaCrosse was introduced for 2010 as a larger premium sedan for North American and Chinese markets using a long-wheelbase (LWB) variant of the Epsilon II platform shared with the Cadillac XTS—and available solely as a five-passenger sedan with a range of four- and six-cylinder engines.
The third generation was introduced for North America and China for model year 2017 using the GM Epsilon platform shared with the Chevrolet Impala, notably offering a mild hybrid powertrain combining 20-kilowatt (27 hp) electric and 2.5-liter Ecotec gasoline engine. North American production ended with the third generation, with model year 2019; however, it continued to be offered in China, with a 2019 facelift.
The fourth-generation LaCrosse, launched in 2023, is currently manufactured and marketed solely in China. It is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.

Common 2015 Buick Lacrosse problems
The Buick LaCrosse 2015 is known for several common problems based on complaints from owners. One of the most frequently reported issues is related to the transmission, with owners complaining about hard shifts and occasional jerks. These issues persist despite dealers updating the TCM software and flushing the transmission fluid. Although transmission failure is rare for this model year, the occasional jerks between shifts are a concern for many owners.
Another issue reported by owners is related to the service brakes, with some experiencing wheel speed sensor failure and ABS module failure. This has led to brake failure while driving, with a complete loss of pedal resistance. Although not a widespread issue, it has a high possibility of occurrence in high-mileage examples.
Electric system complaints are also common in the 2015 Buick LaCrosse. Starting issues are prevalent, with battery and alternator issues being the main culprits. Faults with the alternator can cause the battery to discharge, leaving owners with a car that doesn't want to crank. Battery replacements are often needed, and if the problem persists, alternator reconditioning or replacement is advised.
The infotainment system, Buick's IntelliLink system, is not the smoothest around and is subject to occasional Bluetooth issues, Pandora service issues, and blank screen/random restarts. Even though updates have been made available, the issue still reappears for some owners.
Lastly, there have been recalls related to the front seat-mounted side-impact airbags whose inflator may rupture upon its deployment, causing sharp metal fragments to be propelled into the vehicle's cabin. GM has notified owners, and dealers will replace the side impact airbag modules free of charge.
In summary, the 2015 Buick LaCrosse has several common problems related to the transmission, service brakes, electric system, and infotainment system. Additionally, there have been recalls related to the front seat-mounted side-impact airbags. These issues should be considered when purchasing a used 2015 Buick LaCrosse.

STEERING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-07-27
- VIN: 1g4gb5g30ff
- Components: STEERING
- Summary: While driving at approximately 55 mph, my power steering went out (at first I thought I had blown a tire). It became almost impossible to perform any quick/reactionary steering changes. I put on my hazards and drove to the dealership and then for a second opinion with my local trusted mechanic. Both advised the electronic steering assembly went bad, that there is a new part #, indicative of a high failure rate; however, the part is not available in all of North America (they checked.) they called GM Buick and were advised an ETA on the backorder for the part is unknown. They filed for an emergency backorder request and are awaiting further information. Now, I have an undriveable vehicle, there are no loaner cars available, the cheapest rental car is a full car payment every three days, and no idea how long before the vehicle will be able to be repaired as it is too dangerous to drive in its current state. I think this needs to be investigated, as this issue sounds like it should be a recall before someone gets killed.

2015 Buick Lacrosse recalls
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued 3 recalls for different components of the 2015 Buick Lacrosse.
- Manufacturer: General Motors LLC

- Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
- Consequence: 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.
- Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.

Negative 2015 Buick Lacrosse car reviews
Positive 2015 Buick Lacrosse car reviews
-
I've never had a problem with my 65k car. As a bigger guy, I find it incredibly comfortable and easy to drive, with great creature features. I was originally considering a much more expensive luxury car, but once I found this one, I never looked back. In fact, I love it so much that my wife now drives one too and won't settle for anything else!
-
The car is definitely my favorite vehicle. The ride is so soft and smooth, the interior is plush, and the pick up is great. Braking is easy and the steering is wonderful, making it easy to glide into corners with ease of handling. It's a great car and worth every penny!
-
The car is a great choice! Although I had a negative experience with Sports Chevrolet in Silver Spring, MD, where they did not initially honor my Edmunds discount, I was able to review the breakdown of the price and resolve the issue. While I was disappointed with their initial approach, I am confident in my ability to navigate such situations. The Buick is a beautiful car both inside and out, and I have received many compliments on it. While the Volt gauge can be confusing at times, I have noticed that the car feels more sluggish when the volts are lower. I am still investigating whether the phone charging is impacting the voltage. Overall, I am very satisfied with my stylish and smooth car, and it has received more compliments than my previous Lincoln Towncar!
-
I highly recommend this car! Its rakishly-elegant appearance gives an impressive presence, making it stand out in a crowd. The interior is by far the most comfortable of any car I've owned. I even traveled in it for 22 hours across America in the span of two days and still found it comfortable! With the 304 HP V6, the car feels quite powerful and can tear up the road if you floor it from a stop. Even on single-lane highways, I can pass up to eight cars in several seconds starting from 60 MPH. While there are some cons, such as occasional issues with the cruise control and a small trunk, these are small quibbles compared to the car's overall beauty, power, comfort, and reliability.

You'll love it, give it a drive!

Are you having problems with your 2015 Buick Lacrosse?
Gordon Kris 2024-10-23
I had a 2015 Buick Lacrosse E-Assist for 5 years and drove it for 77,000Km. Unfortunately, I experienced some problems during this time. After 6 months, the vents on/off controls caused the climate control temperature setting to change, and the dealer was unable to find the root of the problem. After 1 year, the passenger sun visor mirror cover broke down. Additionally, after 5 years and 77,000Km, the rear driver side ABS malfunctioned and destroyed the brake pads. The dealer claimed that this was normal wear and tear. The car was also quite noisy for the price paid and consumed a lot of gas in town. Unfortunately, the E-assist feature never worked properly. Based on my experience, I will not be purchasing a Buick again.
Hardy Ondricka 2024-08-13
This Buick is quite noisy to ride in, making it difficult to have a decent conversation with the person riding with me. I am surprised that General Motors advertises this car as having a quiet ride. The road noise is quite noticeable and the seats are not very comfortable. As someone who has owned other Buicks, I have to say that the riding quality and noise limits within the interior of this car are disappointing. Overall, I wouldn't buy another one. It's worth noting that GM is eliminating the Buick Lacrosse in 2020, which is not surprising given its overrated reputation.
Jayson Wisozk 2024-07-19
When you test drive this car, pay special attention to the front headrest. Although we didn't notice it during the test drive, some owners have complained about it being too far forward on forums. However, I must say that I like the car very much, especially the comfortable and quiet ride. The Delphi safety features on the high-end trim package are a great addition. The only downsides are the small side windows and the complicated technology, which can be a distraction while driving. Additionally, the back-up camera display is sometimes blocked by the sun due to its angle. Overall, it's a great car that I would highly recommend.
Kirk Swaniawski 2024-03-12
Our LaCrosse is incredibly comfortable, and passengers often compliment how nice it is inside. However, the electronics can be frustrating. Despite that, it's a fun and surprisingly peppy car to drive, especially given its size. It handles corners very well and is extremely sure-footed. The mechanical engineering is sound, but the electronics could use some improvement. We recently had to replace the battery again, which is the third time in less than two years of ownership. The voltage gauge sometimes bounces around, but the dealer assures us that there isn't a problem with the charging system. The bluetooth could be better implemented, but we still find it useful. Occasionally, the main LCD panel displays a warning about distracted driving that needs to be manually cleared, which can be distracting. The chrome on the driver and front passenger door handles is flaking off, which is a bit disappointing. Overall, while we won't be buying another Buick, we still appreciate the comfort and great driving experience of the LaCrosse. That being said, we've been spoiled by Hyundai's exceptional warranty and customer service.
