WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN DURING THE EARLY EVENING MY HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO DETERMINE MY OPTIONS. I TRIED USING THE SWITCH (INSTEAD OF THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS) TO FORCE HE HEADLIGHTS TO TURN ON. THAT DID NOT WORK. I BEGAN TO HEAD BACK TOWARD HOME TO TRY TO DETERMINE WHAT WENT WRONG WITH MY CAR. WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME (WITHIN A MILE OF THE HEADLIGHTS TURNING OFF) MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED BACK ON. ABOUT A BLOCK OR TWO LATER THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF AGAIN. ANOTHER BLOCK OR TWO AND THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED BACK ON. I DROVE TO GET SOME DINNER AND WHILE WAITING AT THE DRIVE-THRU THE HEADLIGHTS AGAIN TURNED OFF. A MINUTE OR TWO LATER THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED BACK ON AND STAYED ON FOR THE DRIVE BACK HOME. I WOUND UP DRIVING APPROXIMATELY THREE MILES WITHOUT KNOWING IF MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD STAY ON OR OFF OR IF I WAS IN DANGER OF A CAR FIRE. I WOUND UP REPLACING THE HDM MODULE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING.

COMING HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL ON I-65, WITH MY MOTHER THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT WE MANAGED TO PULL OVER SAFELY BUT SHAKEN UP. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE LOWBEAMS CAME BACK ON. WE HAVE HAD RECURRING PROBLEMS WITH THIS BUT NEVER KNEW WHEN TO EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN. WE REPLACED THE RELAY AND SOLVED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. THE CAR NOW HAS 96000 MILES AND NO LOW BEAMS. IF GENERAL MOTORS DON'T THINK THIS ISSUE IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO DO A RECALL MAYBE THEY MIGHT RESPOND TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. ONCE I DECIDE TO SELL THIS CAR IT WILL BE THE LAST BUICK I EVER OWN. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK. LIGHTS WORKED FINE, PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE, LIGHTS STAYED ON DELAY MODE AND BOTH WERE FINE. DRIVING HOME THE NEXT NIGHT, SEVERAL ONCOMING VEHICLES FLASHED LIGHTS, I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO CHECK MY LIGHTS... NO LOW BEAM LIGHTS. SWITCHED FROM AUTO TO MANUAL MODE, STILL NO LOW BEAM LIGHTS, HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WORK FINE. I HAVE READ THAT SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE A SOLUTION. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD NEED TO PAY THE DEALER TO 'ANALYZE THE PROBLEM' AND CHARGE AN OUTRAGEOUS PRICE TO FIX THIS. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE! *TR UPDATED 09/10/13*LJ
