Failure Date: 03/01/2016

You are driving down the road at night and for no reason the headlights go out. You hit the high beams and in a few minutes they go out. Had this car to the dealers at least 4 times and they keep replacing the relay and a month or two later it does the same thing. We have a lot of dark roads here in ohio and you can be coming into a curve and the lights go out. You can't see a thing. Gm claims they don't have a permanent fix for the problem.

Purchased a 2007 Buick Lacrosse less than 2 months ago. Within the first month the low beam head lights went out. Took back to the dealer and they replaced the head light module. No the low beams are not working again. Now the dealer is telling me I have a faulty fuse block under the hood.

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.

We were 60 miles from home having dinner. Got in the car after dark to come home, started it and no headlights. Low beam headlights failed to come on whether by auto or manual switching them on. We had high beam but no low beam or daytime running light. This is very dangerous. It is our only vehicle for daily driving. We need this repaired under the 12-1-2014 recall from Buick.

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.

A few times the headlights went out . Driving on two lane road once was close to head on accident . I did extensive testing to find that the hdm low beam head light relay manufactured by I think delphi was the problem . I went to auto supply bought the heaviest duty relay I could find . I replaced it an problem was solved . This was back in may of 2014 . Then in January 2015 I received recall for this problem . I have contacted g. M. Several times . I read where they state if you have paid for the repair they will reimburse owner for the repair . This is black and white plain and simply . I submitted form , receipts , ect . According to their requirement on the recall letter . Does not say I have to wait for several more letters or several years it is on their recall letter . Everything they asked for to the standards . While on vacation message to call . After many calls again I was told I have to wait for second recall letter to get reimbursed . She stated I have to take it to dealer . Why so I can have another defective relay installed . Not going to happen just reimburse me for the claim I submitted . I can't return a one year old relay that is far better than their defective relay . They can't figure a remedy out yet . It has been a year now and I am still waiting to be reimbursed because I did not receive the second recall notification because they can't figure this out . Driving a car at night without headlights is not safe and neither is putting one of their defective relays back in it . This relay has been noted to not only fail , but it can melt causing wire harness to melt at a replacement cost to approach $ 2,000 and an possibly an engine fire and that cost very high or vehicle replacement . Just pay me the money owed . . .
