2007 BUICK LACROSSE Exterior Lighting Problems

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 .

I HAVE A 2007 BUICK LACROSSE THAT I UNDERSTAND HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL SINCE SEP 2015 FOR BAD HEADLIGHTS WHICH MAY CAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS TO STOP OPERATION AT ANY TIME. HAS THE NHTSA BEEN MONITORING THE PROBLEM AND WHY HAS IT TAKEN SO LONG FOR GENERAL MOTORS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM? THANKS AND HAVE A NICE DAY.

I WENT TO MY MECHANIC. HE WAS ABLE TO GET A TEMP HMD REPLACEMENT PART IN ABOUT 3 DAYS. HE INSTALLED THE TEMP REPLACEMENT PART AND EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DISFUNCTIONING HDM. THAT WAS IN 07/2014.MY BUICK WAS IN THE RECALL FOR THE HDM MALFUNCTION. UPON RECEIVING THE RECALL LETTER, I TOOK MY BUICK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THERE WERE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE AT THAT MOMENT. I SHOULD CHECK BACK OR RECEIVE A PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHEN SAID PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I EXPLAINED THAT THE PART WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO THE GM RECALL. THE RECALL NOTICE WAS ON 01/2015 FROM GLOBAL VEHICAL SAFETY IN MILWAUKEE, WI. AS FAR AS THE DEALERSHIP, I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM. ON 10/27/2015, I SUBMITTED A REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM FOR OUT OF POCKET PAY ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS STATED ON THAT FORM, TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER 3 MONTHS OF NO RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I WENT IN AND TALKED TO THEM DIRECTLY. THEY STATED THAT A PERM REPLACEMENT PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE YET SO MY CLAIM WOULD NOT BE PROCESSED UNTIL GM ANNOUCED A PART WAS AVAILABLE AND A SECOND LETTER WAS MAILED TO ME. ANOTHER 2 MONTHS PASSED AND NO CALLS OR LETTERS FROM GM OR THE DEALERSHIP. I WENT IN DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN "OFFICIAL" AUTHORIZATION FROM GM TO START THE CLAIM PROCESS. I FEEL AS IF GM AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE NOT WORKING ON THIS MATTER TO THE FULLEST OR EVEN ANY EFFORT TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION. IT'S FUNNY YET SAD THAT MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE HDM IN ROUGHLY 5 DAY OR SO, WHICH BY THE WAY, IS STILL PERFORMING PERFECTLY FINE. YET THIS MAJOR AUTO COMPANY(GM) CANT RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE HDM PART. REALLY?! SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE A CLOSER INTO THIS SITUATION. I ,PERSONALLY, FEEL AS IF GM AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE TRYING TO TURN AWAY FROM THIS "MAJOR" PROBLEM SO MANY ARE EFFECTED BY.(UPDATE-MRS ALLAI PASSED AWAY 11/2015. I AM HER SON)

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.

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

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

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW NOT TURNING ON AT NIGHT OR THEY BEGIN TO FLICKER ON AND OFF CAUSING ME TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON.. BUT TODAY I SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL FIRE AS I PARKED AND EXITED MY CAR AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND IT TURNS OUT THE RELAY FOR THE HEADLAMPS WAS BURNING AND MELTED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN, MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I WAS TERRIFIED. TURNING THE SWITCH ON AND OFF WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT FIX IT. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE IN 2009 AND HAD COMPLAINED OF LEAKING SEAL ON THE TOP EDGE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IN THE RAIN. WATER WOULD DRIP ALL OVER MY LEFT ARM, SHOULDER AND ARM REST. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT FIX IT. NOW THE HEADLIGHTS WILL REFUSE TO WORK ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX IT. THE DASH READS HEADLIGHTS SUGGESTED BUT THEY WILL NOT COME ON. I CAN USE THE DIMMER ON THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE BRIGHT LIGHTS WILL WORK, BUT DRIVING WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS. I NEED TO HAVE A DEALER FIX THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR THROUGH A CAR WASH FOR THE FIRST TIME THE OTHER DAY AND THE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ACTING UP AGAIN. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE CONTACT ME AND AUTHORIZE REPAIRS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE EVEN A SHORT DISTANCE AT NIGHT NOT KNOWING WHEN MY HEADLIGHTS WILL SUDDENLY GO OUT AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. IT REALLY SCARES ME AND CONCERNS ME THAT A DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM. *TR UPDATED 09/10/13*LJ THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING, A SQUEAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE DASH AREA, AND WATER WOULD DRIP THROUGH THE TOP DOOR, EVERY TIME IT RAINED. ALSO, THERE WAS A VIBRATION ISSUE, SO THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRES, BUT IT DIDN'T RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

I WAS HAVING INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT ISSUES WITH MY CAR, I WOULD DRIVE AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT OFF, I WOULD PULL OVER AND THEY WOULD COME BACK ON ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND TRIED REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT RELAY, THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. ON THE NIGHT OF APRIL 13, I WAS AT THE MALL AND WHEN RETURNING TO MY CAR, IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD THE CAR JUMPED AND THE FUSE BOX CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE HEADLIGHT RELAY HAD MELTED AND DESTROYED MY FUSE BOX. I HAD MY FUSE BOX REPLACED AND AGAIN, EVERYTHING WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS, WHEN I STARTED GETTING THE INTERMITTENT ISSUE AGAIN. LAST NIGHT, MAY 1ST, MY CAR AGAIN DIED. THIS TIME, ALL FUSES AND RELAYS WERE REMOVED BEFORE JUMP STARTING MY CAR, BUT YOU CAN LOOK AT THE RELAY AND SEE THAT IT HAS BEEN MELTING ONCE AGAIN. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND CAN'T FIND A PROPER FIX FOR THIS. THE RELAY HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT'S NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ONE NIGHT THE LOW BEAMS SUDDENLY WENT OUT. I WAS FORCE TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER. INSIDE THE CAR I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING, SOMETHING ELECTRICAL. ONCE I PULLED OVER I NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THAT THE FUSE BLOCK UNDER THE HOOD WAS ON FIRE, WHICH HOLD FUSES AND RELAYS. THE TWO RELAYS THAT WAS AFFECTED WERE THE LOW BEAM AND HIGH WINDSHIELD WIPER, SO THEY NO LONGER WORK. *TR
