TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK CENTURY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE LOW BEAMS STOPPED WORKING AND HINDERED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE CONTACT HAD TO HOLD THE SWITCH TO GET THE HIGH BEAMS TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH ON THE COLUMN FOR THE LIGHTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, INCLUDING PREMATURELY DETERIORATED GROUND WIRES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE TO BE ORDERED, BUT WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE OF WHEN THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT LEFT THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER UNTIL THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

WE HAVE HAD OUR 2005 BUICK LACROSSE FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS NOW AND WANT TO REPORT THIS LIGHTING SAFETY CONCERN. THIS HEADLIGHT INCIDENT WITH OUR BUICK HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO US, THREE TIMES SINCE MID APRIL. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, WE WERE DRIVING ONE EVENING, SUDDENLY OUR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF. THIS WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AS IT WAS A DARK STRETCH OF ROAD, WITH TRAFFIC. I SLOWED AND FOUND A REASONABLE SAFE SPOT TO PULL OVER. I TRIED TURNING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN SEVERAL POSITIONS WITH NO SUCCESS. WE NORMALLY KEEP THE HEADLAMP SWITCH IN THE AUTO POSITION. OUR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS STILL WERE NOT COMING ON. I THEN FOUND I COUND TURN MY HIGH BEAMS ON, SO I DID TO ILLUMINATE THE ROAD AND BE ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. DRIVING WITH ONLY HIGH BEAMS IS BOTH DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL. IT CAN BE BLINDING TO ON COMING TRAFFIC AND I COULD HAVE BEEN CITED IF I HAD BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE. FROM WHERE MY LOW BEAMS WENT OUT, TO HOME WAS ABOUT 4.5 MILES. RIGHT BEFORE PULLING IN AT HOME MY LOW BEAMS CAME BACK ON. I TURNED OFF THE HIGH BEAMS AND STILL HAD THE LOW BEAMS. QUITE UNUSUAL. THEN WITHIN A 2 TO 3 WEEK STRETCH, MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT TWICE AGAIN. RIGHT AWAY, I TURNED ON MY HIGH BEAMS AND WITHIN 15 - 20 MINUTES, LOW BEAMS CAME BACK ON. WHILE I'M ABLE TO LIGHT UP THE ROAD USING THE HIGH BEAMS IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN - IT STILL IS NOT A SAFE ALTERNATIVE. THERE IS AN ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A MODULE PROBLEM, BAD WIRING, I JUST DON'T KNOW. I DID FIND OUT ON THE INTERNET, OTHER SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL DRIVERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE. LIGHTS GOING OUT FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THANK YOU FOR RESEARCHING AND GETTING GM TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND HAVE THEM FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF BY THEMSELVES. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. WHEN HIGH/LOW BEAM SELECTOR WAS USED, LIGHTS RETURNED ON. SUSPECT FAULTY SWITCH?? *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE WINDOW SWITCH THAT OPERATED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS INOPERABLE. THE WINDOW SWITCH WAS LOCATED ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. WHEN OPENING THE WINDOW, THE GLASS WOULD NOT COME DOWN SMOOTHLY AND DROPPED FORCEFULLY. ALSO, THE REAR RIGHT DOOR PANEL WAS LOOSE, AND SLID WHEN THE DOOR WAS SHUT. THIRD, THE LIGHT IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. FOURTH, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. FINALLY, THE CONTACT NOTICED A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THE PROBLEMS WERE ACKNOWLEDGED, HOWEVER NO REPAIRS WERE MADE.
