The contact owns a 2006 Buick Lacrosse. The contact stated that the key was getting stuck in the ignition and was difficult to turn. In addition, the low beam headlights failed to function properly. The dealer (coggin Buick GMC in jacksonville, 7245 blanding blvd, jacksonville, fl 32244, (904) 638-1115) was notified. The dealer did not provide a specific remedy to diagnose the vehicle other than telling the contact to replace the bulb and, if the failure recurred, to bring the vehicle back to the dealer. The contact replaced the bulbs for the low beams, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

Headlights have a mind of their own. Only high beams work. My grandson noticed a recall he called the local dealership. Was told that our VIN number was not listed. Same model as thousands of others.. he replaced headlight module and both bulbs about 70 dollars lost. This happened at night while going down road in heavy rain on 2 lane

Low beam lights keep going out. We replaced the bulbs on the driver side several times it would work for 1 hour to 2 months then it would go out again. Now I have no low beam lights at all. Replaced the dimmer switch and it did not help.

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.

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.
