This is the second time it has happened to me. My headlights quit working. The first time it was not as dark and I caught it . My husband took it to sims Buick on elm rd. Where we purchased it. They said there was no recall on it, but we new there was. My husband paid for the new module and put it in. This time it took place on tues. Mar. 29 and 8:30 pm in the dark. I had 3 girls I was taking home from work and my headlights went out. Almost hit someone along the road and there was traffic coming at me. Thakfully the girls guided me into a driveway. My brights worked to get me and the girls home. My husband checked again and was told there was no recall or fix. He bought the module and replaced it himself. Thank god we were safe. But you need to figure it out before someone gets hurt. And make sure your dealers get the information.

Headlights went out while driving - known issue and recall with gm. Car would not start, though battery was dead.

Car was parked the night before and was not started or moved prior to this issue being found.

Low beam headlights can go out at any time while driving. Started happening about 7/2013. Would only drive during day/ had module replaced a year ago when recall notice came out and had lights for a about 6 months with no problem. Was driving going around a corner a couple of months ago, lights went out and I went into ditch causing a bad fender dent and breaking my windshield. Lights can come and go at any time. Thank god, no one was hurt. This could be a major problem. You can use brights, but that would cause blinding the oncoming traffic.

My low-beam headlamps went out on January 9, 2015, which I was not aware of until a police officer pulled me over indicating to me that I had no headlights. I had to drive home with my high beams on. I had to leave work early all last week in order to get home before dark. I went on line yesterday and typed in my make model and year of my vehicle and found out that there is a recall for my type of vehicle for the headlamps. Contacted Buick and was informed that they can not fix this problem yet because there is no "official" recall for this problem. This is a danger when someone's headlights go out all of the sudden while you are driving at night; this could cause a major accident which could involve lives. They informed me I have to wait to get the "official" notice before they can fix the problem or I can bring in my vehicle and have it looked and fixed at my expense. This is a serious problem and should be taken care ASAP by Buick at their expense, not the expense of the driver of the vehicle informing them that this problem has already occured? please look into this matter and let me know how soon can I get this problem fixed. Thank you.

In early December 2014, the low-beam headlights stopped working permanently. Replacing the hdm module does no rectify the situation and the fuses and lamps are in good working condition. I have been driving 7 months with high-beams only, which endangers other drivers and puts me at risk of head-on collision. Other people have indicated their cars have burned because of this situation. I first noticed gm's public acknowledgment of the defect in December, but nearly 7 months later, they have neither notified me nor announced a way to fix the problem. My dealership has no remedy to offer. In one week my state inspection expires. After that I will not be able to drive the car or sell it.

While driving at dark low beam headlights shut off. High beam still worked. After several minutes low beams started working again. This has happened to me 3 times now.

My wife was taking her father to the hospital when she the low beam headlights were to come on they did not. She had to drive the rest of the way with only her parking lights on. This is not the first time this has happened in 2013 we had to replace a relay under the hood in the fuse box for the same issue. This time we took it into our local parts shop to replace the relay and found out that the fuse box had melted together and have had it towed to be repaired, this was on a 2007 Buick la cross. I understand this is not the first time this has happened this type of vehicle and I believe it should be repaired by the dealer and a safety recall started.

I was driving on interstate at night 65 mph and my headlights automatically went off. They would not come back on. I drove with high beams until I could get off an exit. Sat there and tried to get them on. . . No luck. Finally they came back on and 15 minutes later they went off again. I had to drive home with my high beams on for 35 minutes. Took it in to gm certified service dept. And they said there was nothing wrong with the low beams. Driving home from service dept, they went out again !!!!!! what is the problem with this?. Very very dangerous and cannot drive my car because I am not sure when the lights will go out. . . . Thunderstorms, night time, snow, etc. . . . I need my low beam lights !!!! I am calling the service dept. Again tomorrow and demanding they fix this problem before I have a serious accident !!!!!!!!!.

While driving at night, the headlights will turn off. You are left driving blind at full speed. It has happened a number of times. I took it to the garage and they could not duplicate the issue so they were not able to fix it. With winter coming on and sunset happening earlier each day, the amount of time driving in the dark increases. This is unsafe for myself and other drivers that may not see me due to my headlights going off all of the sudden.

While driving at night, all of a sudden the headlights will turn off leaving you travelling along the highway at 60 to 75 mph (depending on what type of highway, interstate or limited access roadway you are on). This leaves you moving with no idea where there is a safe place to pull over to get out of the travel lanes. This has occurred numerous times, and I am asking to be reimbursed for the expense of repairing this defect.
