This is the second time it has happened to me. My headlights quit working. The first time it was not as dark and I caught it . My husband took it to sims buick on elm rd. Where we purchased it. They said there was no recall on it, but we new there was. My husband paid for the new module and put it in. This time it took place on tues. Mar. 29 and 8:30 pm in the dark. I had 3 girls I was taking home from work and my headlights went out. Almost hit someone along the road and there was traffic coming at me. Thakfully the girls guided me into a driveway. My brights worked to get me and the girls home. My husband checked again and was told there was no recall or fix. He bought the module and replaced it himself. Thank god we were safe. But you need to figure it out before someone gets hurt. And make sure your dealers get the information.

I have a 2007 buick lacrosse that I understand has been under recall since sep 2015 for bad headlights which may cause the headlights to stop operation at any time. Has the federal safety agency been monitoring the problem and why has it taken so long for general motors to correct the problem? Thanks and have a nice day.

I went to my mechanic. He was able to get a temp hmd replacement part in about 3 days. He installed the temp replacement part and explained to me what happened to the disfunctioning hdm. That was in 07/2014.my buick was in the recall for the hdm malfunction. Upon receiving the recall letter, I took my buick to the dealership and was informed there were no replacement parts available at that moment. I should check back or receive a phone call from the dealership when said part would be available. I explained that the part was replaced prior to the gm recall. The recall notice was on 01/2015 from global vehical safety in milwaukee, wi. As far as the dealership, I never heard anything back from them. On 10/27/2015, I submitted a reimbursement claim for out of pocket pay according to the instructions stated on that form, to the dealership. After 3 months of no response from the dealership, I went in and talked to them directly. They stated that a perm replacement part was not available yet so my claim would not be processed until gm annouced a part was available and a second letter was mailed to me. Another 2 months passed and no calls or letters from gm or the dealership. I went in directly to the dealership again and they said they have to wait for an "official" authorization from gm to start the claim process. I feel as if gm and the dealership are not working on this matter to the fullest or even any effort to resolve this situation. It's funny yet sad that my mechanic replaced the hdm in roughly 5 day or so, which by the way, is still performing perfectly fine. Yet this major auto company(gm) cant resolve this issue with the hdm part. Really?! Someone needs to take a closer into this situation. I ,personally, feel as if gm and the dealership are trying to turn away from this "major" problem so many are effected by.(update-mrs allai passed away 11/2015. I am her son)

Headlights went out while driving - known issue and recall with gm. Car would not start, though battery was dead. Went to jump car and found out fuse box and wiring harness was melted like it caught fire. Numerous sites are showing complaints about this same issue, melting, and electrical issues. Car was parked the night before and was not started or moved prior to this issue being found.
Purchased a 2007 buick lacrosse less than 2 months ago. Within the first month the low beam head lights went out. Took back to the dealer and they replaced the head light module. No the low beams are not working again. Now the dealer is telling me I have a faulty fuse block under the hood.
Question why it's taking buick so long to supply parts for the lighting malfunction associated with the federal safety agency recall # 15v51900 or buick's recall #14291. The part is a simple relay. It's been 18 months since the recall was announced. Still no notice from buick to schedule a repair. How about the federal safety agency look into why.
The federal safety agency recall #14v755, one year and nothing done. Loss my driver side low beam and replaced bulb, not sure if this was really problem or not.

About one year ago, I received a recall notice regarding the exterior light relay. Actually, this was an intent to recall since I'm still waiting for the actual recall. Had the relay replaced two week before the initial notice. Went to dealer, they said they couldn't do anything until I received an official notice to bring the car in. "still waiting. Replaced the unit a second time. It failed. On december 28, replaced the unit a third time along with a battery shut off switch. Guess what??? This too failed...within 24 hours!!! Do I need to purchase a few dozen of these relays in the hopes that gm will come out with a fix?? Please help.
I received a recall notice in january 2015 that was discovered november 2014 according to gm recall info. It is gm safety recall 14291. I checked today, dec 21' 2015, and gm indicated there is no remedy yet. This seems like an excessive period of time. Maybe the federal safety agency should investigate
Low beam headlights can go out at any time while driving. Started happening about 7/2013. Would only drive during day/ had module replaced a year ago when recall notice came out and had lights for a about 6 months with no problem. Was driving going around a corner a couple of months ago, lights went out and I went into ditch causing a bad fender dent and breaking my windshield. Lights can come and go at any time. Thank god, no one was hurt. This could be a major problem. You can use brights, but that would cause blinding the oncoming traffic.

My exterior lights went out twice last night, while driving down the interstate (approximately 70 MPH). I was able to put my flashers on and get off each time. After about 5 minutes they would come back on. I am not sure what caused the issue, but it is very concerning. I did a google search and apparently this is a common problem with the buick lacrosse. But I can't seem to find any kind of recall addressing the issue...
