2005 Buick Lacrosse complaints

FOR MONTHS PRIOR AT NIGHT MY LOW BEAMS WOULD DIM AND GET BRIGHTER PERIODICALLY. THEN AS I WAS DRIVING ONE MORNING I BEGAN TO SMELL AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. LUCKILY I WAS ON MY WAY HOME WHICH WAS LESS THAN A HALF MILE AWAY. WHEN I GOT HOME I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE FUSE BOX. I IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE AND PROCEEDED TO INVESTIGATE WHAT HAPPENED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE HDM MODULE HAD FAILED AND WAS MELTED RIGHT INTO THE FUSE BLOCK. IF I HAD DRIVEN ANY LONGER THAN I DID I FEEL LIKE MY CAR WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY CAUGHT FIRE. LUCKILY I GOT HOME SAFE AND PREVENTED ANY FURTHER DAMAGE FROM MY CAR.

WHEN DRIVING HOME FROM A MEETING ABOUT 30 MILES FROM HOME MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I TRIED TO SWITCH TO MANUAL CONTROL OF THE HEADLIGHTS IT DIDN'T WORK. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT I COULD USE MY THE TEMPORARY BRIGHT LIGHTS WHEN THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS WERE COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE FOLLOWING DAY I WENT TO GUSWEILER GM CENTER TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED. THEY SAID IT WAS THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE RELAY. I HAD THEM MAKE THE REPAIR AT A COST OF $160.29.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY VEHICLE STARTED FLASHING, CHIMING, GIVING SERVICE ABS, SERVICE TC, SERVICE BRAKES MESSAGES, AIR BAG INDICATOR LIT UP,AND TURN SIGNALS STARTED HAVING LONGER AND LONGER PAUSES BETWEEN CLICKS AT RANDOM TIMES DURING A TWO WEEK PERIOD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC. I WAS NOTIFIED EVERYTHING INDICATED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS THE PROBLEM: THE COMPUTER IS NOT CONNECTING TO THE VARIOUS PARTS OF THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT NIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LEAVE THE ROAD AS HE WAS GOING THRU A TURN AT THE TIME. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THE CAR ONLY SUFFERED MINOR DAMAGE. IT HAD TO BE PULLED OUT OF THE DITCH. AFTER THE CAR WAS DRIVEN HOME LESS THAN A MILE AWAY, I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW THAT THE FUSE BOX HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE AND A PORTION MELTED. THIS ALSO DAMAGED THE WIRING CONNECTED TO THE FUSE BOX. I AM NOT SURE WHAT OTHER COMPONENTS HAVE FAILED AS A RESULT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN OPERABLE SINCE. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND HAVE SPENT $300 AND COUNTLESS HOURS ON LABOR SO FAR. THIS SAME PROBLEM IS CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED ON 2006 AND UP BUICK LACROSSE'S. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE 2005 MODELS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE PENDING RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE FOR $8,000 AND NOW I AM NOT SURE IT WILL EVER RUN AGAIN.

LOW BEAMS SUDDENLY BOTH WENT OUT ALONG WITH LEFT SIDE TOURING AND FOG LIGHTS

THE 2005 BUICK LACROSSE EXHIBITS EXACTLY THE SAME HDM RELAY FAILURE AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V755000. THE HDM MODULE CAN OVERHEAT AND FAIL WHICH CAUSES THE HEADLIGHTS OR DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO FAIL TO LIGHT. IN THE OVERHEATING SITUATION THE HDM RELAY SEEMS TO SHUNT THE BATTERY CURRENT WHICH CAUSES ENOUGH HEAT TO MELT THE FUSE PANEL, AND KILLING THE BATTERY. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUSE PANEL, AND RELAY AND WITH NEW EQUIPMENT AND THE LIGHTS WORKED AGAIN. THE HDM MODULE HAS SINCE FAILED AGAIN AT 69000 MILES, ALTHOUGH I CAUGHT IT BEFORE THE FUSE PANEL WAS MELTED. EXPAND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V755000 TO INCLUDE 2005 BUICK LACROSSE VEHICLES AS WELL. *TR

THE REMOTE START WORKED PRIOR TO THE RECALL. AFTER THE THIRD VISIT, THE CONSUMERS FATHER WAS GIVEN TWO KEYS AND TWO TRANSMITTERS.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LOST LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AS WELL AS DAY TIME LIGHTS , SMELLED SMALL BURNING ODOR AND DISCOVERED THE HEADLIGHT CONTROL IN THE FUSE PANEL TO BE OVER HEATING AND BEGINNING TO BURN A HOLE IN THE FUSE PANEL UNDER THE HOOD. HAVE READ OF THIS HAPPENING TO SEVERAL OF THESE CARS WITH THE FUSE PANEL BEING THE DIRECT SOURCE DUE TO WIRES SHORTING OUT INTERNALLY, WHY IS THIS CAR NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECENT RECALL? *TR

GM SENT OUT A RECALL FOR THE BUICK LACROSSE 2005. THE RECALL WAS TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO SWITCH OFF AT RANDOM WHILE RUNNING CAUSING FOR POTENTIAL CRASH AND LACK OF AIRBAGS TO WORK AND OTHER POSSIBLE HAZARDS. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT WE TAKE ANY THINGS OFF OF THE KEY RING OTHER THAN THE KEY WHEN IN DRIVE. I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE OF MY CAR TURNING OFF ON ITS OWN PREVIOUS TO RECEIVING THIS RECALL. BEING PROACTIVE I TOOK MY CAR TO THE WILKINS GMC BUICK DEALERSHIP LOCATED AT 6913 RITCHIE HIGHWAY, GLEN BURNIE, MD 21061 IN ORDER TO HAVE THE RECALL SERVICED. WHILE HAVING THE RECALL FIXED I FOUND OUT FROM A SERVICE WORKER AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE RECALL FIX IS ONLY A CHANGE IN THE KEY. ONCE THE RECALL FIX WAS COMPLETED I LEFT AND A WEEK LATER HAD THE ISSUE OF THE CAR TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING OCCUR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE KEY TO ENSURE THE FIX WAS PROPERLY DONE, THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS PROPERLY DONE AND NO NEED TO COME IN. I THEN CALLED GM CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NO RECALL ON THE IGNITION PART (THE REAL PROBLEM) AND THE KEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE. I WAS GIVEN NO ASSISTANCE FOR THE TRUE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE LACK OF QUALITY AND QUALITY ASSURANCE FROM THIS COMPANY. MY CAR HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW WILL BARELY STAY ON WITHOUT THE KEY TURNING TO THE OFF POSITION. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND SPOKEN WITH MANY MECHANICS WITH ALL OF THE INFORMATION POINTING TO THE NE
