Can Buick service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

How do I know if my Buick drivetrain is damaged?

Your Buick LaCrosse drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often should I come in for Buick LaCrosse differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is my LaCrosse malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your LaCrosse can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you reset your LaCrosse’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my LaCrosse?

A drivetrain malfunction in your LaCrosse should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my LaCrosse drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your LaCrosse’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your LaCrosse forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 2019 Buick LaCrosse Drivetrain Service

Your LaCrosse drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Buick, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your LaCrosse’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2019 Buick LaCrosse, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Buick's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Buick LaCrosse Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2019 Buick LaCrosse drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Buick LaCrosse may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Buick LaCrosse.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2019 Buick LaCrosse? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
