2010 Buick LaCrosse

General Motors is delaying the roll out of the 2010 Buick LaCrosse by a few weeks due to quality concerns. Mark LaNeve, GM’s vice president of U.S. sales, said that 300 to 400 cars were shipped in August and that further delivers are on hold until the company works out “quality issues.”

While LaNeve wouldn’t give any specifics he said that the problems ”were not serious but were enough to delay us three or four weeks while we made sure they were fixed so that our customers didn’t have any problems.”

“(It’s) probably not the end of the world because we need to build awareness around having this new LaCrosse,” said LaNeve. “I think October will be a good number to look at for LaCrosse, that will be our first month we have adequate availability to post the number.”

The base 2010 LaCrosse CX model with standard equipment and a 3.0L direct-injected V6 engine starts at $27,835. GM will add a 182-hp 2.4L 4-cylinder option in the near future.

    I bought this car a month ago and have had it back at the dealership more than in my garage. It pulls to the left and they can't seem to fix it. Now the electrical issues are starting to surface. Sun roof doesn't open, sun shade closes when it wants to and the lights go off and on during the day. Plus... the dealership I bought it from in Delaware Ohio is worthless and will not return any phone calls about the issues. I had to get a Buick rep involved. I would give it back to Buick, but I waived the 60 day guarantee for $500 - what a sucker I am . Just waiting to lemon law it.

    Buy a Honda or Toyota - anything but a GM product.
  • i don't understand what quality issues they could be having. it's not like there's anything unique about this thing. It's a rip-off of everything else currently off the market. did they just not use enough Super Glue to get everything to stick together?

    How would Buick owners know there is a quality problem?

    > Would they recognize that the turn signal failed to turn off?
    > That the gas filler door is stuck open?
    > Realize that the seat is set too low for them to see over the steering wheel?
    > Recognize that one of the tires is seriously under inflated?
    > See that the trunk is open when they are driving?
    >Complain that the long, thin brake pedal on the far right is actually making the car go faster?

    Oh, I know!!! The AM radio wouldn't work.

    Some of those problems are found in German cars so let's give Buick a break here.... they've produced an outstanding car. Will there be a review done by egmCarTech?

    Pat,

    The list is what I have observed of blue haired Buick drivers...
