Low-beam headlamps turned off while vehicle was running. High-beam lights still functional. While driving, my headlights would suddenly turn off without warning, and I'd have to use my high-beams. After a few seconds, they would come back on. This happened a few times, but now the low-beams don't come on at all. There is a recall for this issue, but my VIN isn't included for some reason.
While driving at night, both headlights failed to illuminate. The area that I live is rural and back roads do not have street lights. While the brights were working, that also created a hazardous condition, as the brights could temporarily blind an oncoming driver, especially dangerous on narrow 2 lane roads. The car was taken to art moran Buick dealership and I paid over $300. 00 to replace headlight module. I was told that gm only covered this from date of purchase to 12 years or 150,000 miles. This happened six months past that date. The car has 98,300 miles on it as of today. This is a definite safety hazard, and NHTSA should require a full recall. I have the recall letter from gm, as well as the paid bill for the repair from the Buick dealer. However, I am not a computer genious, so tell me how I can get these documents to you.

Low beam headlights go out, sometimes they will not come back on until car ignition is turned off and back on sometimes they dont come back on at all, very dangerous, gm has a recall but they say my VIN number is not covered, I have talked to local dealer as well as general motors concerning this issue with no positive response. It appears this issue will be just like the key switch issue, people will have to die before anything is done.
Coming home from the hospital on I-65, with my mother the low beam headlights suddenly went out we managed to pull over safely but shaken up. After a few minutes the lowbeams came back on. We have had recurring problems with this but never knew when to expect it to happen. We replaced the relay and solved the problem temporarily. The car now has 96000 miles and no low beams. If general motors don't think this issue is severe enough to do a recall maybe they might respond to a class action lawsuit. Once I decide to sell this car it will be the last Buick I ever own.
