2009 Buick LaCrosse Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Buick's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Buick LaCrosse? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your LaCrosse towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your LaCrosse is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my LaCrosse's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2009 LaCrosse’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Buick. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Buick LaCrosse transmission fluid leak? Yes. Buick LaCrosse transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
