Common problems and easy repairs on a 2010 LaCrosse

The 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXL is a moderately difficult car to maintain due to its lengthy and convoluted repairs. The entire glove box housing and other panels will need to be removed to access the cabin air filter. The engine air filter is also difficult to remove, requiring that many different fasteners be disengaged before the filter itself can be accessed. Multiple parts besides the bracket will need to be removed in order to access the battery, which makes replacing it very tedious.

However, the 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXL does have its high points. Its headlight and highbeam bulbs don’t require any tools for reliable access and can be found by simply reaching behind their bulb housing. The provided transmission fluid dipstick is quick to find, and no problem to remove.The brake fluid reservoir also has open access, which makes refilling it easy to do when necessary.
