WHILE DRIVING AT DARK LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. HIGH BEAM STILL WORKED. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES LOW BEAMS STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES NOW. *TR

MY WIFE WAS TAKING HER FATHER TO THE HOSPITAL WHEN SHE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE TO COME ON THEY DID NOT. SHE HAD TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY WITH ONLY HER PARKING LIGHTS ON. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN 2013 WE HAD TO REPLACE A RELAY UNDER THE HOOD IN THE FUSE BOX FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS TIME WE TOOK IT INTO OUR LOCAL PARTS SHOP TO REPLACE THE RELAY AND FOUND OUT THAT THE FUSE BOX HAD MELTED TOGETHER AND HAVE HAD IT TOWED TO BE REPAIRED, THIS WAS ON A 2007 BUICK LA CROSS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER AND A SAFETY RECALL STARTED. *TR

PANEL LIGHTS BEGAN TO GO OUT ONE AT A TIME IN 2009. THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT ONE AT A TIME; WHEN REPLACED , BOTH WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. AFTER THAT BOTH HIGH BEAMS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN TWICE IN 18 MONTHS. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AFTER THAT. THE DRIVER SEAT BELT LIGHT OFTEN REMAINED ON WHILE SEAT-BELT IS CONNECTED. WHILE TRAVELING ON A WET ROAD I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE PRIOR TO A WATER PUDDLE WHEN THE CAR SLID SIDEWAYS OFF THE ROAD INTO A SOGGY-BOG AND SPUN 2.5 TIMES IN A CIRCLE IN APP. 12" OF MUD BEFORE IT STOPPED, AND HAD TO BE TOWED OUT. PRESENTLY, THE ABS SERVICE LIGHTS REMAIN ON, THE CLOCK AND RADIO LIGHTS ARE OUT, THE CD PLAYER DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL, THE SEAT BELT LIGHT MAY COME ON IN TRANSIT UNPROVOKED, GOING ON AND OFF FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRIP. IF CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT TURNED OFF WHEN PARKED THE GAS NEEDLE DROPS AS IF THERE IS A LEAK. IF THERE ARE NO OTHER RECALLS ON THIS CAR, THERE SHOULD BE! *TR
