2006 BUICK LACROSSE Complaints

THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE MAY BE OVERHEATING OR CUTTING OUT AND FAIL, CAUSING THE HEADLAMPS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO NOT ILLUMINATE AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN CAR IS DRIVING OR PARKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD TO ACTIVATE THE HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V755000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

I NOTICED ONE DAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON JUST THE HIGH BEAM WORKS BUT NOT THE LOW BEAM SO I HAVE TO BE HOME BEFORE DARK BECAUSE I CAN NOT USE MY LIGHTS I KNOW IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.

TWICE NOW, MY HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE. THE FIRST TIME IT RECTIFIED ITSELF. THIS TIME IT HAS NOT RECTIFIED. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN I MANUALLY TURNED OFF THE HEADLIGHTS. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND MANUALLY TURNED THEM BACK ON AND NOTHING HAPPENED. RUNNING LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS DO FUNCTION (14V755000) BUT I AM IRRITATING A LOT OF DRIVERS WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON. WHAT CAN I DO UNTIL THIS RECALLED PART IS AVAILABLE? I HAVE TRIED TO GET IT SERVICED AT MY GM DEALER BUT THEY HAVE NO RECALL INFORMATION. SO MY GUESS THE GOING TO CHARGE ME HOURLY TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM THAT THEY PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW ABOUT.
