Headlight Switch problems of the 2006 Buick Lacrosse

Both low beam headlights stopped working at the same time when the vehicle was started. Light switch was in "auto" position. Switching to manual position - low beam lights still won't operate. High beam and marker lights work as they should. Researching cause I found a NHTSA recall no. 15v519000 (gm no. 14291) for a faulty headlamp driver module (hdm) which adressed the issue. Reached out to Buick and was told the module for this vehicle had already been replaced in 2016 (original owner), issue closed. I appealed that if the corrective hdm failed again then the same safety issue exists and they should replace the part at fault as many times as necessary or modify the module not to fail continuously. What is the policy if a recall fix is replacing with a faulty part? thank you.

I have had quite a few problems with having to replace bulbs in the front headlights of 2006 Buick Lacrosse. But, for the last 4 months when I drive car at night all of a sudden my dim lights go off and I cannot see a thing. Two times that this has happened I was meeting another car. Luckily, I was not involved in a headon collision. The lights go off, I have to switch to bright lights to drive. This is very annoying to me as well as others. If I park it for awhile they will work again. It seems to be just a short while after you crank car and start driving that it happens. I have seen where there are recalls on Buick's lighting but have not received notice of recall. Once I was driving on a farm to market highway; next time, driving on a city street in motion both times.

I was driving early in the morning to work and had my light switch on auto and my headlights just randomly shut off then 10 mins later came back on. It does this intermittently since and it's a major problem I have children in my vehicle and it's very dangerous. When the lights go out my brights still work and all interior lights work how ever the headlights do not work then come back on after a short while I also smell a burning smell by the headlights.

While driving through town during the early evening my headlights shut off. I pulled over to the side of the road to determine my options. I tried using the switch (instead of the automatic headlights) to force he headlights to turn on. That did not work. I began to head back toward home to try to determine what went wrong with my car. While driving back home (within a mile of the headlights turning off) my headlights turned back on. About a block or two later the headlights turned off again. Another block or two and the headlights turned back on. I drove to get some dinner and while waiting at the drive-thru the headlights again turned off. A minute or two later the headlights turned back on and stayed on for the drive back home. I wound up driving approximately three miles without knowing if my headlights would stay on or off or if I was in danger of a car fire. I wound up replacing the hdm module.

2006 Buick Lacrosse. Consumer requests reimbursement for vehicle headlights. The low beam head light, dimmer switch and relay module were replaced. Updated 06/25/jb.

Low beam headlights do not work. Lights worked fine, parked the car in the garage, lights stayed on delay mode and both were fine. Driving home the next night, several oncoming vehicles flashed lights, I pulled into a parking lot to check my lights. . . No low beam lights. Switched from auto to manual mode, still no low beam lights, high beam lights work fine. I have read that several others have this same problem. Nobody seems to have a solution. I do not feel I should need to pay the dealer to 'analyze the problem' and charge an outrageous price to fix this, this is a definite safety issue!.
