PARKED WITH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON AND THEY SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. TURNED THEM OFF AND BACK ON MANUALLY WITH NO AFFECT. TURNED ON THE HIGH BEAMS AND HAD LIGHT. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER WHILE DRIVING THE LOW BEAMS RETURNED. A SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2014 WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. LOW BEAMS WENT OUT WAS ABLE TO SWITCH ON HIGH BEAMS, ALTHOUGH SOMEWHAT DIMINISHED, LOW BEAMS RETURNED WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING WITH DIMINISHED HIGH BEAMS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF. YOU ARE LEFT DRIVING BLIND AT FULL SPEED. IT HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT. WITH WINTER COMING ON AND SUNSET HAPPENING EARLIER EACH DAY, THE AMOUNT OF TIME DRIVING IN THE DARK INCREASES. THIS IS UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS THAT MAY NOT SEE ME DUE TO MY HEADLIGHTS GOING OFF ALL OF THE SUDDEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED. THE LOW BEAM WOULD TURN OFF INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,500. UPDATED 10/31/14*LJ UPDATED 4/27/2015 *JS

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF LEAVING YOU TRAVELLING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AT 60 TO 75 MPH (DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF HIGHWAY, INTERSTATE OR LIMITED ACCESS ROADWAY YOU ARE ON). THIS LEAVES YOU MOVING WITH NO IDEA WHERE THERE IS A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER TO GET OUT OF THE TRAVEL LANES. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES, AND I AM ASKING TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING THIS DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATE 55 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO RESUME AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY SHUT OFF ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT RELAY SWITCH. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CURRENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,701.

THE LOW BEAMS ON THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN FLICKERING ON AND OFF AT NIGHT FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN THE LOW BEAMS WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL ON THE NIGHT OF DECEMBER 2, 2012, HIGH BEAMS WORKED BUT THE SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC FILLED THE CAR AND I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND ONE OF THE RELAYS, PRESUMABLY THE LOW BEAM RELAY, BURNED AND MELTED INSIDE THE FUSE BLOCK CAUSING A SMALL FIRE INSIDE THE FUSE COMPARTMENT WHICH FORTUNATELY CONTAINED THE FIRE BUT DESTROYED THE ENTIRE FUSE PANEL (BLOCK). THIS APPEARS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED AND COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2007 BUICK LACROSSE AND YET THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS IS A TOP TIER SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED AT A BUICK DEALER FOR A TOTAL OF $616.15. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE OR MILEAGE, YET I AM READING THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO EXPERIENCE THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE. I AM RESEARCHING ALL CLAIMS AND CONSIDERING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. I FEEL AS THOUGH GM OWES ME MY $616.15 BACK AND SHOULD CORRECT THIS ISSUE VIA A MASS VEHICLE RECALL. *TR
