IN EARLY DECEMBER 2014, THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING PERMANENTLY. REPLACING THE HDM MODULE DOES NO RECTIFY THE SITUATION AND THE FUSES AND LAMPS ARE IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 7 MONTHS WITH HIGH-BEAMS ONLY, WHICH ENDANGERS OTHER DRIVERS AND PUTS ME AT RISK OF HEAD-ON COLLISION. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE INDICATED THEIR CARS HAVE BURNED BECAUSE OF THIS SITUATION. I FIRST NOTICED GM'S PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE DEFECT IN DECEMBER, BUT NEARLY 7 MONTHS LATER, THEY HAVE NEITHER NOTIFIED ME NOR ANNOUNCED A WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MY DEALERSHIP HAS NO REMEDY TO OFFER. IN ONE WEEK MY STATE INSPECTION EXPIRES. AFTER THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR OR SELL IT.

ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2007 BUICK LACROSSE CXL. POWER STEERING PUMP FAILURE AT AROUND 85,000 MILES. POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED BECAUSE OF LEAKING HOSES. PRIMARY REASON FOR LEAK IS DUE TO LINES INCORRECTLY CRIMPED AROUND THE METAL LINE THAT ADHERES TO RUBBER HOSE. LINES CANNOT WITHSTAND PRESSURE AND START LEAKING INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL THEY COMPLETELY FAIL. I HAVE REPLACED POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK AND PINION DUE TO FAULTY LINES DAMAGING THE WHOLE SYSTEM. I HAVE SEEN MANY INSTANCES ONLINE ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING TO REPLACE A COUPLE MONTHS LATER AFTER INITIAL REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT OF POWER STEERING LINES THAT ARE OUT ON THE MARKET.

MY LOW-BEAM HEADLAMPS WENT OUT ON JANUARY 9, 2015, WHICH I WAS NOT AWARE OF UNTIL A POLICE OFFICER PULLED ME OVER INDICATING TO ME THAT I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON. I HAD TO LEAVE WORK EARLY ALL LAST WEEK IN ORDER TO GET HOME BEFORE DARK. I WENT ON LINE YESTERDAY AND TYPED IN MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY TYPE OF VEHICLE FOR THE HEADLAMPS. CONTACTED BUICK AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY CAN NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM YET BECAUSE THERE IS NO "OFFICIAL" RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGER WHEN SOMEONE'S HEADLIGHTS GO OUT ALL OF THE SUDDEN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT; THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHICH COULD INVOLVE LIVES. THEY INFORMED ME I HAVE TO WAIT TO GET THE "OFFICIAL" NOTICE BEFORE THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM OR I CAN BRING IN MY VEHICLE AND HAVE IT LOOKED AND FIXED AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE ASAP BY BUICK AT THEIR EXPENSE, NOT THE EXPENSE OF THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE INFORMING THEM THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS ALREADY OCCURRED? PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND LET ME KNOW HOW SOON CAN I GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THANK YOU. *TR

WHO ARE WE KIDDING WITH THIS RECALL? (NHTSA 14V355, GM 14299) CORRECTING A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WITH AN EXTRA KEY RING AND A PAPER TO ADD TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL IS A LAWYER'S SOLUTION. IS THIS A DESIGN DEFECT, OR IS IT NOT? WHY IS IT NOT ADEQUATE? 1) IT DOES NOT INSURE THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE KEYS WILL NOT CAUSE SHUTDOWN. IT ONLY MAKES IT A LITTLE LESS LIKELY. 2) IN A YEAR'S TIME, EVEN THE CURRENT OWNER'S WILL HAVE FORGOTTEN THE SOLUTION. EVEN IF IT'S IN THE CAR'S MANUAL, DOES ANYONE EVER ACTUALLY READ THE MANUAL END-TO-END?. LET ALONE REREADING IT REGULARLY TO REFRESH THEIR KNOWLEDGE? IT'S ONLY THERE, IF AT ALL, FOR REFERENCE. 3) HOW MANY SECOND OWNER'S EVEN GET THE MANUAL? HOW MANY WILL GET KEYSETS WITH THE EXTRA RING? MY EXPERIENCE IS FEW, IF ANY, SUBSEQUENT OWNERS WILL HAVE ANY REMINDER OF THIS RECALL. LET'S GET SERIOUS AND BE RESPONSIBLE. IF THERE IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING SAFETY DEFECT, THEN FIX IT! DEFLECTING LIABILITY TO THE OWNER IS HORSE-PUCKY! *TR
