ON DEC. 18TH MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING AT NIGHT GOING TO A CHRISTMAS PARTY WHEN THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING.I SWITCHED TO THE HIGH BEAMS AS THEY WERE STILL FUNCTIONING. WE WENT THE LAST MILE TO OUR DESTINATION ON THE HIGH BEAMS. I TURNED OFF THE CAR TO SEE IF THAT WOULD RE;SET THE LIGHTS, IT DID NOT. WE WENT TO THE PARTY AND CAME BACK TO THE CAR APX. 3 HOURS LATER. I STARTED THE CAR AND THE LOW BEAMS CAME ON..AFTER ABOUT 1/2 MILE THEY WENT OUT AGAIN..SO I PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF THE CAR TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COME ON UPON RE-START,THEY DID NOT,SO WE CONTINUED ON WITH HIGH BEAMS. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES THE LOW BEAMS CAME ON FOR THE REST OF OUR TRIP HOME. THE NEXT DAY I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ON-LINE AND DISCOVERED A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM I CONTACTED THE LOCAL BUICK DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAD NO DIRECTION ON HOW TO FIX IT FROM G.M. MY WIFE CALLED ANOTHER AREA BUICK DEALER AND RECIEVED THE SAME REPLY..SHE WAS ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF G.M. AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WOULD GET BACK TO US.. WE NEVER R GOT ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM G.M. I HAD TO PRINT ALL THE FORMS FROM THE NHTSA WEB SITE.. SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS A MULTI MILLION DOLLAR LAW SUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN AFTER SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAPPENS (IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME). THIS PROBLEM IS NOT JUST WITH TE BUICK LACROSSE THERE ARE OTHER MODELS INVOLVED.. SO WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET G.M. AND THEIR DEALERS TO FIX THIS?

ANY TIME THE THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED THE GAS NEEDLE GOES ON THE WRONG SIDE AND WILL NOT COME BACK IN PLACE UNTIL THE DASH IS REMOVED AND THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED AT A DEALERSHIP AND THIS COST.
