“Have had a vibration problem with 2005 Buick lacross since 11000 miles. Made several trips to dealer. Dealer replaced tires on last try. Still have vibration problem. Dealer made remark that there is not a problem that they can see or feel, but was again driven while I was in the car and told him when I could feel it. He agreed that there was a small vibration but another set of tires may or may not take care of the problem. I am tired of taking my car to the dealership and leaving it and be without a car. Its time to get GM gi gets involed in this.”

“Tires, vibration this information is for all 2005 Buick Lacrosse owners. There is a bulletin on the goodyear tires, which may be out of round or had a bad batch of rubber added to the tires causing out roundness or vibration problems. Gm has not told any Buick Lacrosse owners of this unless they have a complaint. I have had all 4 tire replaced on mine because of this problem. Buick Lacrosse owners should see their dealers on this matter to see if their tires are on that list.”
