VEHICLES LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT FOR NO REASON BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. WORKED AN HOUR BEFORE AND JUST QUIT. HIGH BEAMS WILL WORK. READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME THING WHILE LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS

I TOOK A SHORT TRIP EARLIER TODAY AND WHEN I GOT HOME I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCKING OR UNLOCKING OF THIS DOOR BEFORE AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I UNLOCKED THE DOOR IT REMAINED LOCKED AND UNABLE TO BE OPENED. THE LOCK INDICATORS SHOWED THAT THE DOOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNLOCKED BUT THIS WAS NOT THE CASE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR/MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V417000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAMS FAILED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON TWO OCCASIONS BUT IT WAS UNKNOWN WHICH PART WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V519000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) AND SHORTLY AFTER THE DEALERS REPAIR, THE LOW BEAMS HAD CONTINUED TO FAIL. THE RECALL REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES STOPPED FUNCTIONING. HIGH BEAMS STILL WORK. VERIFIED THAT BULBS AND/OR FUSES WERE NOT THE PROBLEM. SAME ISSUE AS NHTSA RECALL 15V519000 GM RECALL 14291. CONTACTED GM WHO CLAIMED MY PARTICULAR CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. AS MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS COMMENTS, THAT MAKES NO SENSE. IF ITS THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER RECALLED CARS HAD WHY ISN'T MY CAR ALSO RECALLED? IN MY OPINION GM NEEDS TO RECALL ALL CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM OR SUPPLY A VALID REASON WHY SOME CARS ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE ACTIVATED.

MY DAUGHTER BORROWED MY CAR.ON THE WAY BACK, AT NIGHT, WITH TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR ,ON THE HIGHWAY THE LIGHTS GO OFF. SHE PULLS OVER AND TRIES TO GET THEM ON. THANK GOD HER HUSBAND WAS FOLLOWING HER IN THEIR CAR, WHO SHE FOLLOWED ,SO SHE COULD SEE. SO I GO TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE TO BUY BULBS TO FIND OUT I DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS IN THE FRONT. SO I GO TO THE GARAGE, THEY REPLACE THE BULBS FOR THE DAYLIGHTS. NOW HIGH BEAMS FLICKER AND STILL NO LIGHTS.THEY SAY I NEED A MODULAR. I CALL BUICK AND THEY TELL ME MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. THIS IS A BAD SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND SHOULD INCLUDE ALL MODELS.

LOW BEAMS DO NOT FUNCTION, ONLY HIGH BEAMS. WHEN HEADLAMPS ARE SWITCHED TO LOW BEAMS THEY GO DARK. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DARK RURAL ROAD WITH NO STREET LIGHTS.

MY HEADLAMPS HAVE GONE OUT ON ME THREE TIMES (OCT. 7, 2016, NOV. 3, 2016, AND NOV. 9, 2016 ) WHILE EITHER DRIVING TO WORK OR DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND IN THE DARK. THE FIRST TIME, I TURNED THE SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON. THE LIGHTS REMAINED ON FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRIP. THE SECOND TIME, THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SWITCH, AND WERE OUT BRIEFLY. THE THIRD TIME, THE LIGHTS WERE OUT LONGER THAN THE SECOND TIME, BUT THEY DID COME BACK ON WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SWITCH. THE FIRST AND SECOND TIMES HAPPENED ON A RATHER BUSY STATE ROAD WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE THIRD TIME HAPPENED ON A STREET NEAR MY HOME AT ABOUT 20- 35 MPH.
