TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEAD LAMPS PRODUCED POOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING IN THE EVENINGS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. ...UPDATED 05/17/17 *BF *TR

WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT A FAIRLY LOWER SPEED. (35 MPH). WAS UTILIZING THE CRUISE CONTROL, MOVED MY RIGHT LEG, AND DUE TO THE POSITIONING OF THE IGNITION, MY LEG BUMPED THE KEYS SLIGHTLY, WHICH CAUSED THE KEY TO TURN INTO THE POSITION WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER RUNNING. UPON NOTICING THAT THE ENGINE HAD STOPPED RUNNING, WAS STILL SUCCESSFULLY ABLE TO PLACE THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT- HOWEVER, HAD I BEEN DRIVING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC.

ON THE WAY HOME FROM A CELEBRATION IN OUR TOWN, I HIT A DEER. I IMMEDIATELY HEARD A LOUD COUPLE OF BANGS, NOT JUST FROM THE IMPACT AND SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AND GLOVEBOX. ONSTAR CALLED IMMEDIATELY AND SAID THAT MY AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED AND THEY ASKED IF I NEEDED HELP. THE CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAGS FIRED BUT DID NOT DEPLOY.

IN WARM WEATHER EVENINGS CONDENSATION FORMS ON OUTSIDE OF FRONT WINDOW. BUICK SERVICE STATES MANUFACTURING/DESIGN DEFECT AND ONLY SOLUTION IS TO KEEP WINDSHIELD WIPERS RUNNING AS CANNOT SEE THROUGH FRONT WINDOW. REALLY LAME CORRECTION AS MY OTHER VEHICLES DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM

WHEN I COME CLOSE TO A CAR AHEAD AT ANY DISTANCE I HAVE IT SET AT IT WILL NOT WORN ME AND FLASH RED ON THE DASH LIKE IT IS PROGRAMED TO DO, ONLY IF A CAR IS TURNING TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND FAILED TO PROVIDE THE PROPER LIGHT COVERAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER RAISED THE HEADLIGHTS; HOWEVER, THE DEFECT WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE HEADLIGHT DESIGN COULD NOT BE CHANGED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. UPDATED 6/3/15*CN UPDATED 9/29/2017*CN

DIC SAID RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT OUT,TOOK TO DEALER,SAID BALLAST BURNED UP INSIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY PUT ON ORDER, WAITING FOR REPAIR AT THIS TIME. *JS

WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, TURNED RIGHT ONTO A BRIDGE JUST 15 TO 20 FEET AND THE FORWARD COLLISION ALERT LOCKED UP BRAKING SYSTEM. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR BEHIND ME AT THAT TIME (THANKFULLY, BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH). THE BRIDGE IS CONSTRUCTED OF STEEL AND ALSO HAS A STEEL ROAD BED. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLANK FOR AT LEAST 10 SECONDS BEFORE RESETTING AS THOUGH THE CAR RESTARTED, WHILE DRIVING ON I95 AT A SPEED OF 65-70 MPH. THE CAR DID NOT STALL. *TR
