So many issues with the Buick. Made of glass. First I had no coolant line and I took it to be inspected before at, Baumen Ford and they said everything was fine with it. Turns out needed new coolant line, head gasket, timing cover, and switch. 5 new tires, rebuilt transmission, epc solenoid, transmission lines, rear pivot, left front wheel barring, formed band, and many many more. Currently with everything replaced and more that I haven’t listed/can’t state because don’t know the term. Already Has costed me 10k. And still have issues, with the APP, code P1125, P2120, P2138, & C0240. Need to inspect these car Models from 2003-2009 as they all have similar issues and nothing has been done.

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.

Hello, my 2006 buick lacrosse regular beam headlights keeps going out due to the wiring getting hot for some reason. No aftermarket highlights or bulbs been added. The wiring is melting completely. You can see smoke coming from the headlight assembly. I'm also experiencing my entire dash goes out while driving for 2-seconds then comes back on, I'm not sure if the wiring that's shorting out from my low beam headlights after burning is causing this issue or not since the wires begins to touch after the wire covering is burned. I contacted buick the manufacture, and they are giving me the run around asking me questions that doesn't even pertain to the issues at hand, like when was your last oil change? This issue with the headlights is highly dangerous and can cause a fire and prevent visibility for myself and others to see me at night, plush getting a ticket from the police for having no headlights. This should become a recall issue immediately. This is a major safety issue.

Driver's side door will not unlock and will not open. It will not unlock with the lock button or with the key. I have to climb over the passenger seat to enter and exit the vehicle. I looked the problem up online and found that many people have complained about this. It is a safety concern since I will not be able to get out of the car in an accident.

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 the federal safety agency 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.
