What Owners Say

Catalytic converter

"The check engine light came on. The mechanic told us we could try a cleaner but if that didn't work we would have to replace the cc before inspection. The cleaner he provided did not correct the problem but one that I purchased did."

Anonymous, NY (2014 Buick LaCrosse None 3.6-L V6)

Other/unsure

"timing chain, which was a result of low oil. to be honest I think the low oil was a result of the dealership not putting enough oil in at last oil change as the car neverburned oil."

Anonymous A., CT (2014 Buick LaCrosse None 3.6-L V6)

"The electronic power steering module went bad on this car about 1,000 miles ago. There are lights on the dash because of the power steering failure. I have decided not to replace the power steering at this time for the simple fact that this is a mid-sized car and not hard to turn without power steering."
