TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR HANDLE BECAME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE LOCK AND THE INSIDES OF THE HANDLE WERE STILL CONNECTED, BUT THE DOOR HANDLE WAS SEPARATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,729.

HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING - KNOWN ISSUE AND RECALL WITH GM. CAR WOULD NOT START, THOUGH BATTERY WAS DEAD. WENT TO JUMP CAR AND FOUND OUT FUSE BOX AND WIRING HARNESS WAS MELTED LIKE IT CAUGHT FIRE. NUMEROUS SITES ARE SHOWING COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, MELTING, AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES. CAR WAS PARKED THE NIGHT BEFORE AND WAS NOT STARTED OR MOVED PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE BEING FOUND.

PURCHASED A 2007 BUICK LACROSSE LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT. TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE HEAD LIGHT MODULE. NO THE LOW BEAMS ARE NOT WORKING AGAIN. NOW THE DEALER IS TELLING ME I HAVE A FAULTY FUSE BLOCK UNDER THE HOOD.

QUESTION WHY IT'S TAKING BUICK SO LONG TO SUPPLY PARTS FOR THE LIGHTING MALFUNCTION ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA RECALL # 15V51900 OR BUICK'S RECALL #14291. THE PART IS A SIMPLE RELAY. IT'S BEEN 18 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. STILL NO NOTICE FROM BUICK TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. HOW ABOUT NHTSA LOOK INTO WHY.

NHTSA RECALL #14V755, ONE YEAR AND NOTHING DONE. LOSS MY DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM AND REPLACED BULB, NOT SURE IF THIS WAS REALLY PROBLEM OR NOT.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JANUARY 2015 THAT WAS DISCOVERED NOVEMBER 2014 ACCORDING TO GM RECALL INFO. IT IS GM SAFETY RECALL 14291. I CHECKED TODAY, DEC 21' 2015, AND GM INDICATED THERE IS NO REMEDY YET. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN EXCESSIVE PERIOD OF TIME. MAYBE NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE
