Then about 2-3 weeks in it developed horribly loud dash & console rattles and a buzzing noise around 2500 RPM. Took it to the dealer twice, but didn't really solve the problem. I ended up spraying areas with WD-40 and now the sounds are pretty much gone. The black trim on the left rear passenger door that runs vertically between the window and small stationary quarter window started separating. Turns out it is all one piece with the stationary window and some of the chrome trim, so that all had to be replaced. But, the replacement part that GM sent to the dealer was damaged, so this week they will be re-installing that.
Yeah, my boss has a new LaCrosse in the "candy apple red" color. Great car, he loves it, but it needs new brakes at 5,000 miles. Unless he used the car to stop a runaway tractor trailer that shouldn't be the case.
