Tl* the contact owns a 2006 buick lacrosse. While driving various speeds, the contact had to pump the brake pedal several times in order for the vehicle to stop. The ABS and traction control warning indicators illuminated. Also, the instrument panel failed to remain illuminated in order for the contact to view necessary information while driving. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle received the aftermarket seat covering indicated in the federal safety agency campaign number: 06v417000 (air bags). The vehicle was not included in the recall for the covering to be replaced despite the manufacturer assuring them it was the same material used. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the hub needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle had not received a second repair for the ABS and instrument panel. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000.
Low beam headlights on both sides stopped functioning. High beams still work. Verified that bulbs and/or fuses were not the problem. Same issue as the federal safety agency recall 15v519000 gm recall 14291. Contacted gm who claimed my particular car was not included in recall. As mentioned in previous comments, that makes no sense. If its the same problem as other recalled cars had why isn't my car also recalled? In my opinion gm needs to recall all cars with this problem or supply a valid reason why some cars are excluded from the recall.
The hdm module failed leaving no low beams while driving in a rural area at night. Vin was not covered by the recall allowing buick to ignore the problem and leave the owner to pay.

Low beam headlights go out, sometimes they will not come back on until car ignition is turned off and back on sometimes they don't 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.
