NO ELEVATED SIGNAL
16%
8 of 50 relevant owner complaints are about the engine, transmission or fuel system
No elevated drivetrain complaint concentration in the available NHTSA records for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse. Engine, transmission and fuel system account for 16% of relevant complaints.
Better than 92% of the 1,230 model years we track (2010–2023).
Excludes 13 airbag, lighting and seat-belt recall complaints that would otherwise mask the signal (unadjusted: 13%).
Manufacturers fix things mid-generation. A bad year next to a clean one is common; the fix usually arrived in between.

No elevated drivetrain pattern for this model year. That describes the model, not the car in front of you.
Get an independent pre-purchase inspection from a mechanic you choose.
5 recall campaigns on this model year. Whether a specific car still has one open depends on the VIN; the report checks that.

Experimental model-level information. This is not a vehicle inspection, vehicle-history
report, financial advice or purchase recommendation. It describes patterns across a model year, not the condition
