2007 BUICK LACROSSE Electrical System Problems

Car refuses to relearn the app sensor. Throttle body and sensor is good, always changed the EVAP Purge valve. Still throwing codes and reduce engine speed stays on..

Low beam headlights randomly turn off while driving at night and day. Causing not to be able to see the roadway at all. Very dangerous!!! They give no warning at all. Only the low beams do this. Bright lights are not affected. There was a recall for this issue but they said my car was not affected. But it is 100% affected by this recall. Ot seems like the Headlamp driver module is overheating. It gets extremely hot. This issue almost caused a very serious accident .

Taken car to dealership for computer analysis and was told that the issue was caused by P0420cataylic converter needed to be replaced. I had cataylic converter replaced elsewhere and noticed that wasn't the problem. After doing some research I found that ignition switch is the reason my car stalls while driving. There was a Product Safety Recall (14299) Ignition key rotation and replaced on 10- 8-20 but I'm having the same problem.

YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT AND FOR NO REASON THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. YOU HIT THE HIGH BEAMS AND IN A FEW MINUTES THEY GO OUT. HAD THIS CAR TO THE DEALERS AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND THEY KEEP REPLACING THE RELAY AND A MONTH OR TWO LATER IT DOES THE SAME THING. WE HAVE A LOT OF DARK ROADS HERE IN OHIO AND YOU CAN BE COMING INTO A CURVE AND THE LIGHTS GO OUT. YOU CAN'T SEE A THING. GM CLAIMS THEY DON'T HAVE A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM.

A FEW TIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT . DRIVING ON TWO LANE ROAD ONCE WAS CLOSE TO HEAD ON ACCIDENT . I DID EXTENSIVE TESTING TO FIND THAT THE HDM LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT RELAY MANUFACTURED BY I THINK DELPHI WAS THE PROBLEM . I WENT TO AUTO SUPPLY BOUGHT THE HEAVIEST DUTY RELAY I COULD FIND . I REPLACED IT AN PROBLEM WAS SOLVED . THIS WAS BACK IN MAY OF 2014 . THEN IN JANUARY 2015 I RECEIVED RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM . I HAVE CONTACTED G.M. SEVERAL TIMES . I READ WHERE THEY STATE IF YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE REPAIR THEY WILL REIMBURSE OWNER FOR THE REPAIR . THIS IS BLACK AND WHITE PLAIN AND SIMPLY . I SUBMITTED FORM , RECEIPTS , ECT . ACCORDING TO THEIR REQUIREMENT ON THE RECALL LETTER . DOES NOT SAY I HAVE TO WAIT FOR SEVERAL MORE LETTERS OR SEVERAL YEARS IT IS ON THEIR RECALL LETTER .EVERYTHING THEY ASKED FOR TO THE STANDARDS . WHILE ON VACATION MESSAGE TO CALL . AFTER MANY CALLS AGAIN I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO WAIT FOR SECOND RECALL LETTER TO GET REIMBURSED . SHE STATED I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO DEALER . WHY SO I CAN HAVE ANOTHER DEFECTIVE RELAY INSTALLED . NOT GOING TO HAPPEN JUST REIMBURSE ME FOR THE CLAIM I SUBMITTED . I CAN'T RETURN A ONE YEAR OLD RELAY THAT IS FAR BETTER THAN THEIR DEFECTIVE RELAY .THEY CAN'T FIGURE A REMEDY OUT YET . IT HAS BEEN A YEAR NOW AND I AM STILL WAITING TO BE REIMBURSED BECAUSE I DID NOT RECEIVE THE SECOND RECALL NOTIFICATION BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT . DRIVING A CAR AT NIGHT WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS IS NOT SAFE AND NEITHER IS PUTTING ONE OF THEIR DEFECTIVE RELAYS BACK IN IT . THIS RELAY HAS BEEN NOTED TO NOT ONLY FAIL , BUT IT CAN MELT CAUSING WIRE HARNESS TO MELT AT A REPLACEMENT COST TO APPROACH $ 2,000 AND AN POSSIBLY AN ENGINE FIRE AND THAT COST VERY HIGH OR VEHICLE REPLACEMENT . JUST PAY ME THE MONEY OWED ...

MY LOW-BEAM HEADLAMPS WENT OUT ON JANUARY 9, 2015, WHICH I WAS NOT AWARE OF UNTIL A POLICE OFFICER PULLED ME OVER INDICATING TO ME THAT I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON. I HAD TO LEAVE WORK EARLY ALL LAST WEEK IN ORDER TO GET HOME BEFORE DARK. I WENT ON LINE YESTERDAY AND TYPED IN MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY TYPE OF VEHICLE FOR THE HEADLAMPS. CONTACTED BUICK AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY CAN NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM YET BECAUSE THERE IS NO "OFFICIAL" RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGER WHEN SOMEONE'S HEADLIGHTS GO OUT ALL OF THE SUDDEN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT; THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHICH COULD INVOLVE LIVES. THEY INFORMED ME I HAVE TO WAIT TO GET THE "OFFICIAL" NOTICE BEFORE THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM OR I CAN BRING IN MY VEHICLE AND HAVE IT LOOKED AND FIXED AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE ASAP BY BUICK AT THEIR EXPENSE, NOT THE EXPENSE OF THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE INFORMING THEM THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS ALREADY OCCURRED? PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND LET ME KNOW HOW SOON CAN I GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THANK YOU. *TR

WHO ARE WE KIDDING WITH THIS RECALL? (NHTSA 14V355, GM 14299) CORRECTING A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WITH AN EXTRA KEY RING AND A PAPER TO ADD TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL IS A LAWYER'S SOLUTION. IS THIS A DESIGN DEFECT, OR IS IT NOT? WHY IS IT NOT ADEQUATE? 1) IT DOES NOT INSURE THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE KEYS WILL NOT CAUSE SHUTDOWN. IT ONLY MAKES IT A LITTLE LESS LIKELY. 2) IN A YEAR'S TIME, EVEN THE CURRENT OWNER'S WILL HAVE FORGOTTEN THE SOLUTION. EVEN IF IT'S IN THE CAR'S MANUAL, DOES ANYONE EVER ACTUALLY READ THE MANUAL END-TO-END?. LET ALONE REREADING IT REGULARLY TO REFRESH THEIR KNOWLEDGE? IT'S ONLY THERE, IF AT ALL, FOR REFERENCE. 3) HOW MANY SECOND OWNER'S EVEN GET THE MANUAL? HOW MANY WILL GET KEYSETS WITH THE EXTRA RING? MY EXPERIENCE IS FEW, IF ANY, SUBSEQUENT OWNERS WILL HAVE ANY REMINDER OF THIS RECALL. LET'S GET SERIOUS AND BE RESPONSIBLE. IF THERE IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING SAFETY DEFECT, THEN FIX IT! DEFLECTING LIABILITY TO THE OWNER IS HORSE-PUCKY! *TR

THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES, AND I AM ASKING TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING THIS DEFECT. *TR

A IMPROPERLY SHIELDED WIRE GROUNDED OUT AND CAUSED THE UNDER HOOD FUSEBLOCK TO MELT, SOME REPORTS ON LINE STATE THAT THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. CAME OUT OF RESTAURANT AND CAR WOULDN'T START. WHEN THE HOOD WAS RAISED WE COULD SMELL BURNING RUBBER. HAD I BEEN DRIVING IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS REPORTED TO GM TO TRY TO GET REIMBURSED. SAID BECAUSE IT WASN'T ON RECALL THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP US. THE PURPOSE OF THE FUSE BOX AS WE UNDERSTAND IS TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. *TR

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

DRIVING A DISTANCE OF THREE MILES CAR STALLED FIVE TIMES. STARTED AGAIN EACH TIME DEALERSHIP SOLD ME A NEW BATTERY THREE DAYS LATER--ACCELERATION QUIT, GOING DOWN THE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR WITH NO RESPONSE. ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF KEY AND THEN START AGAIN AND PROCEED. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER SHOWED NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR STALLED IN MY MOBILE HOME PARK, STARTED THEN STALLED AND WOULDN'T START. WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR IT WOULDN'T. THEN WHEN I TRIED TO START AGAIN AND RELEASED THE KEY, THE STARTER GRABBED THE KEY AND KEPT GRINDING MOMENTARILY. THEN WHEN I TRIED TO START IT THE STARTER CLICKED AS IF IT WERE GONE. I PARKED IT FOR THE NIGHT AND CALLED AAA IN THE MORNING. THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AND WAS DRIVEN ON TO THE TRUCK.. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TWO PARTS A STARTER AND SOMETHING ELSE. THAT WAS ON MONDAY. IT'S THURSDAY NOW AND I'M WAITING FOR ANOTHER PART. I WAS TOLD THE DIMMER SWITCH HAD SHORTED OUT AND HAD BEEN AFFECTING THE WHOLE SYSTEM. IT IS NOW THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND MY PART HAS BEEN SNOWED IN .

THE FIRST TIME ) THE SECOND $0.BUT WITH NO RESULTS. NOW I'M IN IT FOR MORE THAT $400.00. MERRY CHRISTMAS. *LN
