What Owners Say
"Radio started changing stations on its own. It was replaced, then the screen was not as bright as it should be. The service department is still working on this problem"
John S., TN (2012 Buick LaCrosse None 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"The display is for the navigation system"

Anonymous, MI (2012 Buick LaCrosse None 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"The OnStar with GPS and electronics interface had to be replaced 2 times. New modules are refurbished units. The unit that was installed failed after a short time. This has been an EXPENSIVE and time consuming repair."

Herbert H., MI (2012 Buick LaCrosse None 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"The entire On Star system went down. Had to take it to a dealer and all the On Star equipment had to be replaced.
