2010 Buick LaCrosse Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Buick? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your LaCrosse’s towing capacity. 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.
  • When should I have my LaCrosse's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2010 LaCrosse’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Buick's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Buick LaCrosse? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Buick LaCrosse, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

  • Can I still drive my Buick LaCrosse if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
