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.

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.

My head lights would not work, the inside tire light would not go off, also the oil light stayed on, had these checked and was told the body control module was bad, had it replaced. cost $505.76

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. *js

Nhtsa 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.

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 nhtsa should investigate

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...

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.

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.

I was getting off of work and as i tried to open my car i noticed the remote wasn't work. as i approached my vehicle i smelled something burnt. figured it was coming from the alley. i noticed my windshield wipers were up. i manually opened the car and it smelled worse of burnt. noticed that nothing was working inside my vehicle. i call security to come and help me and as we open the hood it smelled just as bad. we noticed that the fuse box had a melted hole in it. once it opened several fused were burnt. i have read that several people have had the same issue. i wish u let us upload pictures of this incident. what if while driving my car had caught on fire or something worse could have happened to me or my child. luckily i was out of my vehicle when this problem occurred. this issue has to be looked at. now i have to tow my car out of my work garage pay for that and then pay for my vehicle to get fix which we should definitely get reimbursed for it because it's obvious that this is a recurring issue that has not been fixed. it can turn out to be a big law suit against buick. i had the same issue also with the headlights. i would be driving at night and out of no where my lights would just shut off. had to replace that also. . .updated 07/21/15 *bf updated 11/9/2015 *js

Question why it's taking buick so long to supply parts for the lighting malfunction associated with nhtsa 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 nhtsa look into why.

I was driving back from georgia at 4:30 am pitch dark and my headlamps cut off. i was next to a semi and almost crashed into him. i had to use my brights but could not figure out how to keep them on so i had to keep flashing them to see. since then i've had to drive at night tonight on may 23, 2015 at 9 pm and my lights do not come on at all now. the only way to get home once again was to drive with my brights on. i had my brother test the lights and they come on and cut off randomly at will. this is not safe and they should be recalled.

The low beam headlights on our lacrosse stay on even when the ignition is off. we have to pull the fuse or disconnect the battery to turn them off. the high beam headlights and brake lights don't work at all. not sure what the issue could be and we cannot drive the car with out brake lights. *tr
