RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE JANUARY 2015. GM SAFETY RECALL #14291. CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V-755. AS OF NOVEMBER 2015, PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX AFFECTED HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE. HAVE TALKED TO BUICK. THEY HAVE NO TIMEFRAME FOR PARTS BEING AVAILABLE. I HAVE TALKED TO NTSA, THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THE RECALL. BUICK TOLD ME THEY HAVE A TEMPORARY FIX, BUT ALSO TOLD ME THE HIGH-BEAM LIGHTS WILL WORK, SO I CAN DRIVE WITH THOSE ON. I DON'T THINK THAT IS AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION. MY TWO PRIMARY CONCERNS ARE: (1) BUICK ISSUED A RECAL AND 10 MONTHS LATER CANNOT FIX THE DEFECTIVE PARTS AND HAS NO ESTIMATE FOR WHEN THEY CAN (2) NTSA HAS NO RECORD OF THIS RECALL NOTICE OR THAT THIS VEHICLE NEEDS REPAIRS.

2006 BUICK LACROSSE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTION RECALL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT. SHE STATED SHE LOST TOTAL VISION AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. NO ONE COULD GIVE HER ANSWERS AS TO WHY SHE SUDDENLY LOST. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING AN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS, THAT SHE REALIZED THE PROBLEM WAS NOT WITH HER EYES, BUT WITH THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT. THE CONSUMER REFERENCED RECALL # 14V755000.*JB

THE REGULAR LIGHTS WIIL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING, DAY OR NIGHT. SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT COME AT ALL OR ONLY ONE SIDE (DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE) WILL COME ON. I HAVE TO OFTEN DRIVE AROUND AT NIGHT USING MY HIGH-BEAMS. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORST, AS THE LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON FOR DAY. BUICK SERVICE CENTER WANTS TO CHARGE $600 TO REPLACE HEADLIGHTS AND RELAYS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR CARS OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAMS TURN OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS OCCURED 4 TIMES, 1 ON THE INTERSTATE, 3 ON SURFACE STREETS. VERY DANGERUOS COULD CAUSE A HEAD ON COLLISION, OR DRIVER TO LEAVE THE ROADWAY.
