Headlights went out while driving - known issue and recall with GM. Car would not start, though battery was dead. Went to jump car and found out fuse box and wiring harness was melted like it caught fire. Numerous sites are showing complaints about this same issue, melting, and electrical issues. Car was parked the night before and was not started or moved prior to this issue being found.

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.

Question why it's taking Buick so long to supply parts for the lighting malfunction associated with NHTSA recall # 15V51900 or Buick's recall #14291. The part is a simple relay. It's been 18 months since the recall was announced. Still no notice from Buick to schedule a repair. How about NHTSA look into why.

About one year ago, I received a recall notice regarding the exterior light relay. Actually, this was an intent to recall since I'm still waiting for the actual recall. Had the relay replaced two week before the initial notice. Went to dealer, they said they couldn't do anything until I received an official notice to bring the car in. "still waiting. Replaced the unit a second time. It failed. On December 28, replaced the unit a third time along with a battery shut off switch. Guess what"?? this too failed...within 24 hours!!! do I need to purchase a few dozen of these relays in the hopes that GM will come out with a fix?" please help.

I received a recall notice in January 2015 that was discovered November 2014 according to GM recall info. It is GM safety recall 14291. I checked today, Dec 21' 2015, and GM indicated there is no remedy yet. This seems like an excessive period of time. Maybe NHTSA should investigate

Low beam headlights can go out at any time while driving. Started happening about 7/2013. Would only drive during day/ had module replaced a year ago when recall notice came out and had lights for a about 6 months with no problem. Was driving going around a corner a couple of months ago, lights went out and I went into ditch causing a bad fender dent and breaking my windshield. Lights can come and go at any time. Thank god, no one was hurt. This could be a major problem. You can use brights, but that would cause blinding the oncoming traffic.

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...
