What Owners Say
"Sometimes going from Drive to neutral not accomplished. Took multiple actions to accomplish"
Anonymous, IN (2017 Buick LaCrosse Premium 3.6-L V6)"The transmission jerks when I slow down to make a turn and then accelerate. It jerks at different times. When I slow down going down a hill it down shifts and jerks. When I start up from dead still when the auto stop has the engine stopped it jerks when the engine starts up again. I do not like the auto stop feature."
Hall W., MS (2017 Buick LaCrosse Base 3.6-L V6)"Shifting is occasionally rough at low speeds."

Anonymous, IL (2017 Buick LaCrosse Essence 3.6-L V6)"When you would accelerate to go on a highway it was just a little, very little jerky one time. I took it in for regular service and they said they had something from GM to fix it even though i said nothing about it.I don't know a lot about cars but i thought it didn't seem quite right. they did a good job"
Anonymous, RI (2017 Buick LaCrosse Premium 3.6-L V6)"The transmission down shifts when driving downhill. I manage this by putting it in the manual position when going down hill. The transmission jerks when shifting. I noticed this problem shortly after I purchased the car. Otherwise I like the car but the transmission is really irritating. The car rides good and is comfortable so I just live with the problems mentioned previously."

Anonymous, CA (2017 Buick LaCrosse Essence 3.6-L V6)"1st of all this veh at highway speed is a great cruiser but in stop and go traffic the trans changes our sometimes rough and the fact that this motor stops does not help when you reduce your speed enough to change gears at the slowest speeds and then have to re accelerate the change of gears can be rough then if you stop completely the engine stop function comes on most of the time which is a function I would deactivate if I could and sometimes do by putting it in manual mode and then drive mode as I start off,when the engine stops on corners the veh may even start rolling if you release the brakes just enough while on a hill before or during the engine restart the feeling of starting to roll backwards when you were going forward is never a good one, for the transmission rough gear changes the veh was brought back to GM last time it was in for a scheduled oil change the transmission computer it seems was readjusted but it still does it occasionnaly we'll see what the future will bring."
Denis C., QC (2017 Buick LaCrosse 3.6-L V6)"It seems that transmission slips a lot. But, Buick dealership could not find the problem. So, i continue to drive it."
Anonymous, PA (2017 Buick LaCrosse Premium 3.6-L V6)"On different occasions when put either in reverse or drive there is a jump or jerk in transmission."

"Goes into M drive on own. Also, shitting to neutral requires special double shift. Reported to dealer and they said they could not duplicate. In first year occurrence at least 50 times. Nearly had accident twice."
