The 2010 Buick LaCrosse is well-known for its reliability, so it's no surprise that it doesn't have a higher rate of water pump issues compared to many other vehicles out there. However, this doesn't mean it's immune - water pumps can still fail and may require replacement. If you notice coolant leaking near the pump, that's a good starting point for diagnosing the problem. Water pumps typically fail in one of three ways: the pulley wears out, the bearing malfunctions, or the housing develops cracks. Unfortunately, all of these issues will call for a replacement. Despite water pumps being relatively cheap, accessing and replacing them on the 2010 LaCrosse can be challenging, so you might need to put in some effort to get the job done.
