The headlamp driver module burned a hole in the engine fuse box. The hdm is now fused into the fuse box and can't be pulled out to replace it. Recall 14V-755 will replace the hdm. But the GM said I have to pay for the replacement of the fuse box. The hdm failed as the recall said.

My low-beam headlamps went out on January 9, 2015, which I was not aware of until a police officer pulled me over indicating to me that I had no headlights. I had to drive home with my high beams on. I had to leave work early all last week in order to get home before dark. I went on line yesterday and typed in my make model and year of my vehicle and found out that there is a recall for my type of vehicle for the headlamps. Contacted Buick and was informed that they can not fix this problem yet because there is no "official" recall for this problem. This is a danger when someone's headlights go out all of the sudden while you are driving at night; this could cause a major accident which could involve lives. They informed me I have to wait to get the "official" notice before they can fix the problem or I can bring in my vehicle and have it looked and fixed at my expense. This is a serious problem and should be taken care asap by Buick at their expense, not the expense of the driver of the vehicle informing them that this problem has already occurred? please look into this matter and let me know how soon can I get this problem fixed. Thank you.

We were 60 miles from home having dinner. Got in the car after dark to come home, started it and no headlights. Low beam headlights failed to come on whether by auto or manual switching them on. We had high beam but no low beam or daytime running light. This is very dangerous. It is our only vehicle for daily driving. We need this repaired under the 12-1-2014 recall from Buick.

My wife was taking her father to the hospital when she the low beam headlights were to come on they did not. She had to drive the rest of the way with only her parking lights on. This is not the first time this has happened in 2013 we had to replace a relay under the hood in the fuse box for the same issue. This time we took it into our local parts shop to replace the relay and found out that the fuse box had melted together and have had it towed to be repaired, this was on a 2007 Buick la cross. I understand this is not the first time this has happened this type of vehicle and I believe it should be repaired by the dealer and a safety recall started.

Panel lights began to go out one at a time in 2009. The low beam head lights went out one at a time; when replaced, both went out at the same time. After that both high beams went out at the same time and had to be replaced. The driver's door handle has broken twice in 18 months. The transmission began to slip after that. The driver seat belt light often remained on while seat-belt is connected. While traveling on a wet road I attempted to brake prior to a water puddle when the car slid sideways off the road into a soggy-bog and spun 2.5 times in a circle in app. 12" of mud before it stopped, and had to be towed out. Presently, the ABS service lights remain on, the clock and radio lights are out, the cd player does not function at all, the seat belt light may come on in transit unprovoked, going on and off for the duration of the trip. If cruise control is not turned off when parked the gas needle drops as if there is a leak. If there are no other recalls on this car, there should be!

I was driving on interstate at night 65 mph and my headlights automatically went off. They would not come back on. I drove with high beams until I could get off an exit. Sat there and tried to get them on...no luck. Finally they came back on and 15 minutes later they went off again. I had to drive home with my high beams on for 35 minutes. Took it in to GM certified service dept. And they said there was nothing wrong with the low beams. Driving home from service dept, they went out again !!!!!! what is the problem with this?. very very dangerous and cannot drive my car because I am not sure when the lights will go out....thunderstorms, night time, snow, etc....I need my low beam lights !!!! I am calling the service dept. Again tomorrow and demanding they fix this problem before I have a serious accident !!!!!!!!!

Parked with low beam headlights on and they suddenly shut off. Turned them off and back on manually with no affect. Turned on the high beams and had light. About 5 minutes later while driving the low beams returned. A second incident occurred on September 25, 2014 while driving 60 mph. Low beams went out was able to switch on high beams, although somewhat diminished, low beams returned within 10 minutes of driving with diminished high beams.

While driving at night, the headlights will turn off. You are left driving blind at full speed. It has happened a number of times. I took it to the garage and they could not duplicate the issue so they were not able to fix it. With winter coming on and sunset happening earlier each day, the amount of time driving in the dark increases. This is unsafe for myself and other drivers that may not see me due to my headlights going off all of the sudden.

  • 56,000 miles
While driving at night, all of a sudden the headlights will turn off leaving you travelling along the highway at 60 to 75 mph (depending on what type of highway, interstate or limited access roadway you are on). This leaves you moving with no idea where there is a safe place to pull over to get out of the travel lanes. This has occurred numerous times, and I am asking to be reimbursed for the expense of repairing this defect.
