I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A YEAR AGO WITH 66,100 MILES. ONE PREVIOUS OWNER. THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. IT'S STILL INOPERABLE. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE DOOR STOPPED WORKING, JUST THAT IT WAS PRIOR TO 66,100 MILES. IT HAS MADE THE VEHICLE UN-SAFE TO EXIT FROM THE REAR SEAT WHEN PARKED STREET-SIDE.

WHILE IN MOTION THE HIGH BEAM WILL GO OUT AND LOW BEAM WITH IT - NO LIGHTS AT ALL. YOU MUST PUSH OR PULL THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER TO TURN THE LIGHTS ON AGAIN.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. MY HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS NOT AS DARK AND I CAUGHT IT . MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO SIMS BUICK ON ELM RD. WHERE WE PURCHASED IT. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON IT, BUT WE NEW THERE WAS. MY HUSBAND PAID FOR THE NEW MODULE AND PUT IT IN. THIS TIME IT TOOK PLACE ON TUES. MAR. 29 AND 8:30 PM IN THE DARK. I HAD 3 GIRLS I WAS TAKING HOME FROM WORK AND MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. ALMOST HIT SOMEONE ALONG THE ROAD AND THERE WAS TRAFFIC COMING AT ME. THAKFULLY THE GIRLS GUIDED ME INTO A DRIVEWAY. MY BRIGHTS WORKED TO GET ME AND THE GIRLS HOME. MY HUSBAND CHECKED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL OR FIX. HE BOUGHT THE MODULE AND REPLACED IT HIMSELF. THANK GOD WE WERE SAFE. BUT YOU NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. AND MAKE SURE YOUR DEALERS GET THE INFORMATION.
