“Purchased a 2007 Buick Lacrosse less than 2 months ago. Within the first month the low beam head lights went out. Took back to the dealer and they replaced the head light module. No the low beams are not working again. Now the dealer is telling me I have a faulty fuse block under the hood.”
NHTSA complaint #10822450, filed 2016-01, 88,888 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10664467, filed 2014-12, 122,220 miles“The low beam headlights on our Lacrosse stay on even when the ignition is off. We have to pull the fuse or disconnect the battery to turn them off. The high beam headlights and brake lights don't work at all. Not sure what the issue could be and we cannot drive the car with out brake lights.”
NHTSA complaint #10713937, filed 2015-04, 122,000 miles“My exterior lights went out twice last night, while driving down the interstate (approximately 70 MPH). I was able to put my flashers on and get off each time. After about 5 minutes they would come back on. I am not sure what caused the issue, but it is very concerning. I did a google search and apparently this is a common problem with the Buick Lacrosse. But I can't seem to find any kind of recall addressing the issue...”
NHTSA complaint #10809209, filed 2015-12, 113,000 miles“While driving down the highway one night the low beams suddenly went out. I was force to use the high beams until I could pull over. Inside the car I could smell something burning, something electrical. Once I pulled over I notice smoke coming from under the hood and that the fuse block under the hood was on fire, which hold fuses and relays. The two relays that was affected were the low beam and high windshield wiper, so they no longer work.”
