Low beams do not function, only high beams. When headlamps are switched to low beams they go dark. This occurred while driving down a dark rural road with no street lights.
2006 Buick Lacrosse lights complaints
Page 3 of 6: complaints 41 to 70 of 156, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My headlamps have gone out on me three times (oct. 7, 2016, nov. 3, 2016, and nov. 9, 2016 ) while either driving to work or driving home from work in a straight line and in the dark. The first time, I turned the switch off and back on. The lights remained on for the duration of the trip. The second time, the lights came back on without touching the switch, and were out briefly. The third time, the lights were out longer than the second time, but they did come back on without touching the switch. The first and second times happened on a rather busy state road while driving approximately 55 MPH. The third time happened on a street near my home at about 20- 35 MPH.
I drive at night and the low beam light out side shots off that I can not see the road to drive until I turn on the high beam to get to my place. Now the low beam light does not work at all. I took my car to the dealer for diagnostic, they coul not find what the problem is. It is of a matter of safty issue to drive at night when lights go off . I was driving last night and the light low beam went off " dangerous " I was driving in the city streets, I could not go to hyway. I normally drive in hiway.
Takata recall, while driving at night the low beam headlamps go off. This has happened several times starting in 2011 but have come back on until 10/14/2016, while driving at night on a busy city street. Now the low beams do not work at all. The recall description matches to what is happening to my 2006 buick lacrosse with this problem. I have contacted the local buick dealer informed me my car VIN # is not on their recall list.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 buick lacrosse. While driving approximately 55 MPH, both headlights failed. The bright lights eventually illuminated; however, the low beam lights remained off.

The low beam headlamps permanently fail to illuminate. High beam headlamps are not affected. Gm refuses to include this VIN in it's recall of buick lacrosse vehicles for this item but includes others of the same make and model. The replacement part available to the consumer only repairs this issue for a short time. Buick is requiring me to pay for the repair of something that has been recalled on other automobiles of the same make and model by taking it to a dealer where the new part is only available. The dealership is quite expensive compare to my regular auto repair place. I feel that the buick company is acting inappropriately in only covering specific VIN numbers of lacrosse from 2006.

Intermittent problem with headlamps going dark while driving at night forcing me to use my high beams.

2006 buick lacrosse. Consumer requests reimbursement for low-beam headlamps recall notice repairs. *smd the consumer stated the low beam headlights went out. The headlights would only work on high beam. The headlamp switch was replaced.
On two occasions, the headlights stopped working while I was driving at night. Both times occurred when I was driving under 35 miles per hour and had been driving for less than five miles. The first time (february 2016), I stopped, turned the car off and back on and the lights came back on. The second time (april, 2016), I stopped, turned off the ignition and turned it back on. The lights did not come back on. I turned on the ignition and tried the high beams, and they illuminated. When I arrived at home, I tried the regular lights again, but they still failed to work. I found a recall online for this situation for the make, model, and year o f my car (#15v519000), so I contacted buick customer service. I was told that my car did not have this recall on it. I believe that the fact that I have the same problem on the same car model, make, and year should should qualify my car for the recall for this serious safety issue.

Gm recall # 140291 issued nov 25 2014 there is apparently no intent to ever fix this problem. It's now a year and a half later and still an open issue. We are afraid to drive our car after dark in fear that the headlights will fail. Is there any the federal safety agency follow up on these recalls? What does it take to get this fixed?

Beginning to drive home at night and discovered that headlamps were not illuminated. Stopped car to verify that headlamps were not working. Found that high beams would work but not low beams. Tried resetting auto headlamps without success. Was able to drive home with high beams. Once home tried resetting auto headlamps again - no success. Not likely that both headlamps went out at same time but checked bulbs and fuses for low beam headlamps - all good. Have seen reports that hdm for 2006 lacrosse fails and has a recall but my VIN is not included in recall on the federal safety agency site.

The headlights on my car work intermittently. It has been many occasions when were driving at night and in daytime when all of a sudden the lights go out. There has been several times at night the lights have went out and we weren't aware that they weren't on which is extremely dangerous. When the lights go out we have to utilize the high beams in order to see at night. This first started in the summer of 5/2012 and continues to happen today,

I have had quite a few problems with having to replace bulbs in the front headlights of 2006 buick lacrosse. But, for the last 4 months when I drive car at night all of a sudden my dim lights go off and I cannot see a thing. Two times that this has happened I was meeting another car. Luckily, I was not involved in a headon collision. The lights go off, I have to switch to bright lights to drive. This is very annoying to me as well as others. If I park it for awhile they will work again. It seems to be just a short while after you crank car and start driving that it happens. I have seen where there are recalls on buick's lighting but have not received notice of recall. Once I was driving on a farm to market highway; next time, driving on a city street in motion both times.
