2006 Buick Lacrosse

Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2006-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, GMC Envoy XL, 2006-2008 Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7x vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the headlamp driver module (HDM) may overheat and fail, causing the headlamps and daytime running lights to not illuminate.

Risk. Headlamps that do not illuminate reduce the driver's ability to see the roadway and reduce the vehicle's visibility to oncoming vehicles, both of which increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the HDM, free of charge. The recall began on May 17, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14291.

Defect. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Risk. If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), and 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14299.

Defect. DORMAN IS RECALLING 979 STEERING KNUCKLES, DORMAN P/NOS. 697-902 AND 697-903, SOLD UNDER DORMAN'S "OE SOLUTIONS<SUP>TM</SUP>" BRAND NAME, AND NAPA P/NOS. 7-8502 AND 7-8503 WHICH WERE SOLD FOR REPLACEMENT USE ON THE VARIOUS VEHICLES LISTED ABOVE. A POTENTIAL MATERIAL OR DESIGN DEFECT COULD RESULT IN THE STEERING KNUCKLE BREAKING IN THE HUB AREA.

Risk. A BROKEN STEERING KNUCKLE COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.

Remedy. DORMAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE STEERING KNUCKLES FREE OF CHARGE AND REIMBURSE THE REPAIR FACILITY OR OWNER FOR LABOR. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 23, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DORMAN'S TOLL-FREE HOTLINE AT 1-800-523-2492 AND PRESS 5.

Defect. CERTAIN VEHICLES ORIGINALLY BUILT WITH CLOTH SEATS THAT WERE EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC AIR BAG PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM AND LATER REUPHOLSTERED WITH AFTERMARKET LEATHER SEAT COVER KITS ARE INVOLVED. TESTING HAS INDICATED THAT THE AFTERMARKET LEATHER SEAT COVERS CAN CAUSE THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION.

Risk. IF THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS, THE FRONT AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MAY BE DISABLED WHEN IT SHOULD BE ENABLED, OR ENABLED WHEN IT SHOULD BE DISABLED. IN EITHER CASE, IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT REQUIRES AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, A FRONT PASSENGER'S LEVEL OF INJURY MAY BE INCREASED.

Remedy. BECAUSE A REPLACEMENT LEATHER SEAT COVER THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM IS NOT AVAILABLE, GENERAL MOTORS (GM) WILL REPURCHASE THESE VEHICLES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS STATED IN GM'S LETTER TO OWNERS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 6, 2006. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT GM AT 1-877-477-1022 TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF REPURCHASING THEIR VEHICLE.

Vehicle rear-ended at high rate of speed. Impact included rollover. Driver was buckled but seatbelt and/or seat failure and no air bag deployment for either occupant. Serious bodily injury occurred. Vehicle on hold pending further police investigation and scene reconstruction by multiple agencies.

So many issues with the Buick. Made of glass. First I had no coolant line and I took it to be inspected before at, Baumen Ford and they said everything was fine with it. Turns out needed new coolant line, head gasket, timing cover, and switch. 5 new tires, rebuilt transmission, epc solenoid, transmission lines, rear pivot, left front wheel barring, formed band, and many many more. Currently with everything replaced and more that I haven’t listed/can’t state because don’t know the term. Already Has costed me 10k. And still have issues, with the APP, code P1125, P2120, P2138, & C0240. Need to inspect these car Models from 2003-2009 as they all have similar issues and nothing has been done.

In spite of multiple wheel alignments, where all of the wheels are in alignment with each other, this car still pulls sharply to the right. It is noted amongst internet discussion groups that General Motors/Buick has a common problem with a steering sensor/computer interface that causes this steering problem. I have contacted dealerships, along with Buick's California "response team" with no solution. Everybody I've spoken to so far appears to be clueless about this problem which I suspect is not a truthful response from them. The pulling has been going on for approximately 10 years, but my father (the original owner of this car) was already elderly at the time and had difficulty talking with people on the phone because of hearing loss. He let this fester. This is a serious issue because of the consistent pulling that could lead to lane drifting and cause an accident.

Low beam headlights intermittently go out. Work ok one minute, then go dark. Very dangerous. Known issue under GM recall # 14291. The national highway traffic safety administration campaign ID number 15V-519. Problem has been confirmed by West-Herr Dodge in Rochester NY. Per info I have found this does not appear to have been permanently fixed by GM. As such the repair should be done at no charge going forward.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AT DIFFERENT TIMES. WAS WORKED ON BY DEALERSHIP FOR PROBABLY A YEAR IN ? 2013 AND 2014.

THE STABILIZER BAR BROKE AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL HAD 2 LUG BOLTS BREAK AND ALL THE LOTHERS LUG NUTS SPUN OFF. THANK THE LORD THAT THE WHEEL DID NOT COME OFF.

THIS DIFFERENTLY A SAFETY ISSUE,

I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK ABOUT THE STATUS OF A PRIOR COMPLAINT THAT I SUBMITTED AND WAS WRITTEN BACK ONCE ABOUT. MY COMPLAINT READ AS FOLLOWED: 'THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS PERMANENTLY FAIL TO ILLUMINATE. HIGH BEAM HEADLAMPS ARE NOT AFFECTED. GM REFUSES TO INCLUDE THIS VIN IN IT'S RECALL OF BUICK LACROSSE VEHICLES FOR THIS ITEM BUT INCLUDES OTHERS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. THE REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE TO THE CONSUMER ONLY REPAIRS THIS ISSUE FOR A SHORT TIME. BUICK IS REQUIRING ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER AUTOMOBILES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL BY TAKING IT TO A DEALER WHERE THE NEW PART IS ONLY AVAILABLE. THE DEALERSHIP IS QUITE EXPENSIVE COMPARE TO MY REGULAR AUTO REPAIR PLACE. I FEEL THAT THE BUICK COMPANY IS ACTING INAPPROPRIATELY IN ONLY COVERING SPECIFIC VIN NUMBERS OF LACROSSE FROM 2006.'

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT NIGHT. THE FAILURE RECURRED IN THE MORNING.

AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THEY WOULD COME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES, BUT NOW THE LOW-BEAMS DON'T COME ON AT ALL. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY VIN ISN'T INCLUDED FOR SOME REASON.

STEERING PROBLEMS,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CONTACT COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT NIGHT MORE THAN A FEW TIMES AND WAS A DANGER TO THE CONTACT. ALSO, THE "LIGHTS OR ILLUMINATION REQUIRED" MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

HELLO, MY 2006 BUICK LACROSSE REGULAR BEAM HEADLIGHTS KEEPS GOING OUT DUE TO THE WIRING GETTING HOT FOR SOME REASON. NO AFTERMARKET HIGHLIGHTS OR BULBS BEEN ADDED. THE WIRING IS MELTING COMPLETELY. YOU CAN SEE SMOKE COMING FROM THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. I'M ALSO EXPERIENCING MY ENTIRE DASH GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING FOR 2-SECONDS THEN COMES BACK ON, I'M NOT SURE IF THE WIRING THAT'S SHORTING OUT FROM MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AFTER BURNING IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE OR NOT SINCE THE WIRES BEGINS TO TOUCH AFTER THE WIRE COVERING IS BURNED. I CONTACTED BUICK THE MANUFACTURE, AND THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND ASKING ME QUESTIONS THAT DOESN'T EVEN PERTAIN TO THE ISSUES AT HAND, LIKE WHEN WAS YOUR LAST OIL CHANGE? THIS ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE A FIRE AND PREVENT VISIBILITY FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS TO SEE ME AT NIGHT, PLUSH GETTING A TICKET FROM THE POLICE FOR HAVING NO HEADLIGHTS. THIS SHOULD BECOME A RECALL ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

HEADLAMP FAILURE - KNOWN RECALL #14291 MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, BUT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME ISSUE. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM AND DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS WENT OUT. I HAD MY YOUNGEST CHILD WITH ME AT THE TIME. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE RECALL WASN'T COVERED AND I HAD TO PAY THE $360 BILL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM, HIGH BEAM, DAY TIME RUNNING LAMPS, AND EMERGENCY/HAZARD LIGHTING FAILED TO FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MORE THAN TWICE. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE LIGHTS WOULD OPERATE PROPERLY DURING THE EVENING HOURS. JOHN JONES AUTO GROUP CORYDON (1735 GARDNER LN NW, CORYDON, IN 47112, (812) 722-4146) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A MANUFACTURER RECALL AND HAD NOT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BUICK LACROSSE. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK AND WILL NOT OPEN. IT WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH THE LOCK BUTTON OR WITH THE KEY. I HAVE TO CLIMB OVER THE PASSENGER SEAT TO ENTER AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. I LOOKED THE PROBLEM UP ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING, THE LOW BEAMS WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF. THIS IS NOT PROVOKED BY BUMPS OF ANY KIND, THEY JUST TURN OFF DURING RANDOM TIMES. THEY HAVE TURNED OFF ON HIGHWAYS, ON A CITY STREET, AT A STOPLIGHT, THERE IS NO CONNECTION TO THE TIMES IT STOPS WORKING. THE HIGH BEAMS CONTINUE TO WORK, AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE LOW BEAMS START TO WORK AGAIN. THIS BECOMES PROBLEMATIC DURING NIGHT DRIVING, ESPECIALLY IN TOWNS, WHEN IT IS RAINING, AND WHEN IT IS FOGGY.

EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR THE LIGHTS WON'T STAY ON. I CHANGE THE BULBS AND IT STILL DOING THE SAME THING. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IGNITION IS ACTING UP TO.

WHEN CAR IS OFF, THE HEADLIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND NIGHT. THIS IS DRAINING THE BATTERY AND THE CAR IS UNABLE TO START. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2016 AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING RANDOMLY FOR 2 YEARS.

THE HEADLAMPS ARE DEVELOPING A FILM (COMMON W VEHICLES OF THIS ERA TO PRESENT) OF WHICH CANNOT BE ERASED EVEN WITH SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS ( SUCH AS CERTAIN HOUSEHOLD COMPOUNDS- TOOTHPASTE, FURNITURE POLISH, ETC.) I CONSIDER THIS A SEVERE SAFETY DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING DESIGN. THE CAR COMPANIES SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DESIGNING BASIC AUTO SAFETY ELEMENTS THAT ENDURE THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. LIGHT SWITCH WAS IN "AUTO" POSITION. SWITCHING TO MANUAL POSITION - LOW BEAM LIGHTS STILL WON'T OPERATE. HIGH BEAM AND MARKER LIGHTS WORK AS THEY SHOULD. RESEARCHING CAUSE I FOUND A NHTSA RECALL NO.15V519000 (GM NO.14291) FOR A FAULTY HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE (HDM) WHICH ADRESSED THE ISSUE. REACHED OUT TO BUICK AND WAS TOLD THE MODULE FOR THIS VEHICLE HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED IN 2016 (ORIGINAL OWNER), ISSUE CLOSED. I APPEALED THAT IF THE CORRECTIVE HDM FAILED AGAIN THEN THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE EXISTS AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE PART AT FAULT AS MANY TIMES AS NECESSARY OR MODIFY THE MODULE NOT TO FAIL CONTINUOUSLY. WHAT IS THE POLICY IF A RECALL FIX IS REPLACING WITH A FAULTY PART? THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, BOTH HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE AREA THAT I LIVE IS RURAL AND BACK ROADS DO NOT HAVE STREET LIGHTS. WHILE THE BRIGHTS WERE WORKING, THAT ALSO CREATED A HAZARDOUS CONDITION, AS THE BRIGHTS COULD TEMPORARILY BLIND AN ONCOMING DRIVER, ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS ON NARROW 2 LANE ROADS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO ART MORAN BUICK DEALERSHIP AND I PAID OVER $300.00 TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT MODULE. I WAS TOLD THAT GM ONLY COVERED THIS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE TO 12 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. THIS HAPPENED SIX MONTHS PAST THAT DATE. THE CAR HAS 98,300 MILES ON IT AS OF TODAY. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD, AND NHTSA SHOULD REQUIRE A FULL RECALL. I HAVE THE RECALL LETTER FROM GM, AS WELL AS THE PAID BILL FOR THE REPAIR FROM THE BUICK DEALER. HOWEVER, I AM NOT A COMPUTER GENIOUS, SO TELL ME HOW I CAN GET THESE DOCUMENTS TO YOU.

WHEN I AM DRIVING SOMETIMES THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND THE ONLY LIGHTS THAT WILL WORK ARE MY BRIGHT LIGHTS. CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME OF THE DAY.

WHILE DRIVING WITH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SETTING MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I TRIED TO GO FROM AUTOMATIC TO MANUAL BUT THE LIGHTS REMAINED OUT. HIGH BEAMS CONTINUED TO WORK AS NORMAL. A VERY DARK NIGHT ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH OPPOSING TRAFFIC AND THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WAS UNPLEASANT AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I ALMOST WENT OFF THE SIDE INTO A DITCH WITH A DROP OFF AND TREES WHEN I COULD NOT SEE. THIS WAS COMPOUNDED BY OPPOSING TRAFFIC AND A NEAR HEAD ON SITUATION. THE BUICK DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT THE WARRANTY AND RECALL HAD JUST EXPIRED BOTH BY THE DATE OF A 2006 CAR AND THAT MY MILLAGE HAD EXCEEDED THE LIMITS OF THE RECALL.. A HEAD ON CRASH OR OVER A DROP OFF INTO TREES WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. I WILL BE SPREADING THE NEWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED BY GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.THE RECALL WAS NOT RECOGNIZED BY THE BUICK DEALERSHIP UPON MY FIRST CONTACT TELEPHONE CALL. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY. RECALL NO. 15V519000 STATES THAT THE BUICK OWNERS MAY NOT BE INFORMED OF AN EXPANDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE WITH A CAR LOAD OF CHILDREN GETS WIPED OUT IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BY NOTIFICATION BY THE MANUFACTURE OF THE AUTO IN QUESTION. I NOTICED MANY DIFFERENT MODELS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS MANUFACTURES DEFECT. I CAN SEE MANY LAW SUITS COMING UP SINCE THIS IS A WELL KNOW

THE HEADLIGHT DRIVER MODULE (HDM) FAILED AND THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT.

WARNING LIGHT ON DASH LIGHTS UP..JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 10 DAYS AGO..AIR BAG LIGHT....JUST STARTED .....RESEARCHED....OVER260 COMPLAINTS NO DEATHS...1 INJURY AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHEN GETTING INTO CAR. SOME TOOK TO DEALER (MOST DID)..THEY SAY ITS A SENSOR...$1300 TO FIX. NO THIS LIGHT WASNT ON WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR! DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE BEFORE THE MANUFACTURE STEPS UP???I HAVE NO MONEY TO FIX ANYTHING. A LAWYER IS MY NEXT STEP

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS CUT OFF AND DO NOT TURN BACK ON. IT HAPPENS A COUPLE TIMES A DAY AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS BOTH IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY
