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?

In January of 2015 we received a recall notice from GM concerning the headlight driver module (GM safety recall 14291). We called the dealer several times to be told they were waiting for parts. We began experiencing a "headlights recommended" signal several times in broad daylight, but lived with it. When I was in the hospital in October recovering from cancer surgery my wife experienced a headlight failure when driving home alone at night. A neighbor took the car to the Buick dealer and they installed a relay, part #15016745. We then noticed that the left front headlight and the right rear tailight were not lit. As soon as I was cleared to drive I took it back and they insisted that it could not have been their fault, that it was just a coincidence that it happened at that time. I paid the $68.93 for new bulbs. Today I looked at the website, www.mygm.com/recalls and it said that there were no recalls pending for our vehicle. When I called the telephone number given on that webpage, the representative said that was a mistake, but he could not find any information on when they would have parts available or why the website denied there was a recall. This seems to me to be very similar to the ignition switch issue where GM's strategy was to ignore the problem, hoping it would go away.

Head lights on car will intermittently go out while driving. Many times it will just be for a few seconds. However can last for several minutes. I now know that the brights continue to work. Although did not know this at the time I was left stranded in the desert with children and no cell phone service. I also don't feel comfortable driving with brights on all the time due to the brights being so bright and fear I might cause an accident for another driver.

I bought this lovely car and thought I got a great deal-now I wonder what I was thinking!! the car drove home from the dealership beautifully, but after 5 days of owning it I was driving down a major highway at 70mph and the headlights shut off. I now have that problem any time I drive at night. The passenger air bag light goes off and on while the seat is occupied and last night I looked outside, only to discover that my headlights were on. Nothing I did would make them stay off other than disconnecting the battery. The electrical on this car is obviously a nightmare and I will be looking in to trading this car as soon as possible :(
