Drive XLR8 kills crabgrass - amazingly well. I applied it per the instructions, with Methylated Seed Oil, and it killed the crabgrass dead - not just a little dead, but brown, curled-up, dried-up desicated corpse dead - in two or three days. It did not hurt desirable grass at all (tall fescue in my case). It is pretty selective - it kills crabgrass, but not much else.
If it did NOT work for you, there are two possibilities (a) you've got an undesirable grass-like weed that is NOT crabgrass; or (b) you have real crabgrass, but did not read the label directions, which say that it will control crabgrass at the 1-tiller stage (early spring), or the 5+-tiller stage (fully grown, late summer) - but intermediate stages "may require multiple applications". Do your homework -> Google "crabgrass tiller stages" to see what those stages are. If you missed early spring, wait until August when the crabgrass is fully grown and is in the 5+tiller stage. Drive XLR8 will kill it dead-dead then.
There are a lot of undesirable grass-like weeds that look like crabgrass. I've got 'em all - and Drive XLR8 does NOT kill them - it only kills crabgrass, and it does that very well. Straight 2,4-D, or Weed-B-Gone/Weed Clear or Trimec are the first choices for those other weeds. You can even mix them in the tank with Drive XLR8 - read the label!
If it killed your whole lawn - Your whole lawn had probably been taken over by crabgrass. Crabgrass is nasty, invasive stuff, and Drive XLR8 did what it was supposed to do - it killed the crabgrass.
For me - Drive XLR8 works exactly as advertised. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Good results so far
Nothing you buy in a store will kill crabgrass or even harm it in any way. Stop wasting your money. I started with 1 gallon of water mixed with 3 tablespoons of this product and 1.5 tablespoons of MSO. No rain or sprinklers for two days prior, and no rain or sprinklers for two days after. I mowed three days after and left the clippings to sit on the lawn, and then I started watering again. 4 days after I sprayed, I noticed some of the crabgrass start to turn red, as my second photo shows (first photo was the starting point). Today, 8 days after spraying, I noticed many yellow spots in the lawn (see third photo). This isn't healthy grass dying. This is where crabgrass is. You have more than you think!It's important to follow the instructions on the bottle and to be patient, and also to use MSO, which I'd never done before. Pre-emergent did nothing the last two years to prevent crabgrass regrowth, and store-bought weed killers that were advertised to also kill crabgrass only seemed to feed it. If this doesn't work, I'll throw in the towel and have the yard sodded. But so far it looks promising. I'll post another update when I notice more changes.
