The drivers side low beam headlight keeps going out. I did look up any recalls, which there was for this, but it shows that it was fixed. We didn't have an issues for the first 9 months and have now replaced the bulb several times. I am concerned that it is happening while my daughter is driving this at night in a rural area with a lot of deer and other animals running into the roads.

I just bought this car used and the headlights didn't work when I got it. The hi beams and yellow marker lights do work. Just not the lo beams. I bought the car on 9/28/20, it had 124,000 miles on it when I bought it.

All of a sudden my low beam headlight quit working. Then a few days later the high beam quit too. This is on the drivers side.

This is the second time in one year that my headlight on the drivers side has went out. I just replaced it about 8 months ago. I know this because I was pulled over by the police. I do not drive my vehicle very much . 82000 miles and it is 10 years old. I know there has been a recall on a part for the very same reason I am notifying you. I need this fixed. These headlamps are expensive and this is unsafe to drive without proper lighting. Please advise on this matter . Thank you, evelyn lork.

I bought this lovely car and thought I got a great deal-now I wonder what I was thinking!! the car drove home from the dealership beautifully, but after 5 days of owning it I was driving down a major highway at 70mph and the headlights shut off. I now have that problem any time I drive at night. The passenger air bag light goes off and on while the seat is occupied and last night I looked outside, only to discover that my headlights were on. Nothing I did would make them stay off other than disconnecting the battery. The electrical on this car is obviously a nightmare and I will be looking in to trading this car as soon as possible :(.

While driving home from store my wife and I smelled something burning three blocks from home. We got home and I checked under the hood and the relay/fuse block on the passenger side was hot and slightly smoldering. I waited a while and the popped off the fuse block cover and saw the hdm module (according to the diagram in the manual) had melted and fused to the block. The melting and burning had also affected the surrounding relays and fuses. I immediately disconnected the battery and scraped away the burnt, fused portion of the hdm relay and visually checked the fuses which were singed or partially melted and replaced the bad ones. I do not have anything to check the relays with. My wife is on oxygen 24-7 and had a tank in the passenger front with her at the time of the incident which, if a fire had spread, could have become a catastrophic incident. After cleaning out the burnt portion of the fuse box of charred remains from the hdm module, I re-connected the battery cables and was able to start the vehicle without incident. The headlights would not work and some gauges appear to be erratic in their readings ( fuel tank and mileage). I then got online and found many 2006 thru 2011 Buick's have reported this very same problem but no recall ( to my knowledge) has been issued for this highly dangerous and possibly catastrophic issue inherent in gm and specifically Buick products. I purchased this car new and I have never received a notice or recall of any kind. I am in the process of having diagnostics and repairs done by an authorized gm dealer and will know more (hopefully) in the near future.
