Low beam headlights stopped working while driving on a city street. This vehicle is not included in the safety recall for this year model. Fuses and bulb were checked and confirmed to be good.. Hdm module was replaced but did not rectify problem. While investigating recalls I found several other complaints from other owners that were not included in the recall but had a problem that fits the description of this year and model which were included in the original recall. My vehicle has 55884 miles on it.

Received a recall notice january 2015. Gm safety recall #14291. Campaign id number 14v‑755. As of november 2015, parts still not available to fix affected headlamp driver module. Have talked to buick. They have no timeframe for parts being available. I have talked to ntsa, they have no record of the recall. Buick told me they have a temporary fix, but also told me the high-beam lights will work, so I can drive with those on. I don't think that is an acceptable solution. My two primary concerns are: (1) buick issued a recal and 10 months later cannot fix the defective parts and has no estimate for when they can (2) ntsa has no record of this recall notice or that this vehicle needs repairs.
2006 buick lacrosse. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle headlights malfunction recall issues. *smd the consumer was involved in accident. She stated she lost total vision and rear ended another vehicle. No one could give her answers as to why she suddenly lost. It wasn't until the consumer received a recall notice regarding an issue with the headlights, that she realized the problem was not with her eyes, but with the headlights going out. The consumer referenced recall # 14v755000.
The regular lights wiil go out while driving, day or night. Sometimes the headlights will not come at all or only one side (driver or passenger side) will come on. I have to often drive around at night using my high-beams. The problem is getting worst, as the lights will not come on for day. Buick service center wants to charge $600 to replace headlights and relays, even though it is a known issue for cars of the same make, model and year.
While driving at night the low beams turn off without warning. This has occured 4 times, 1 on the interstate, 3 on surface streets. Very dangeruos could cause a head on collision, or driver to leave the roadway.

I noticed one day when I was driving my lights would not come on just the high beam works but not the low beam so I have to be home before dark because I can not use my lights I know it should be recalled and I should not have to pay for it.
Twice now, my headlights will not illuminate. The first time it rectified itself. This time it has not rectified. The problem occurred when I manually turned off the headlights. I put the car in drive and manually turned them back on and nothing happened. Running lights and high beams do function (14v755000) but I am irritating a lot of drivers with the high beams on. What can I do until this recalled part is available? I have tried to get it serviced at my gm dealer but they have no recall information. So my guess the going to charge me hourly to diagnose a problem that they probably already know about.
I had recall parts # 68050 replaced on 07/27/2015 for a faulty headlamp relay, for a total of $112.54. I was under the impression I was to be reimbursed for this service due to a safety recall. Invoice # 265170 at freehold buick nj
