Tl* the contact owns a 2013 buick lacrosse. The contact stated that while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis but the failure could not be replicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 9,000. ..update 04-10-14
Tamara recall-the car only has 67000 miles on it, and for some reason it is using oil. There is exhaust fumes/smoke coming out of the tail pipe. There have been occasions where it has not started. I took it to the dealership where I purchased it brand new off of the showroom floor in 2014, and they did a diagnostic on it; and inform me that they can find nothing wrong. Why all of the sudden is the oil pressure down so low and my warranty will be up at 70000 miles.
