ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A IMPROPERLY SHIELDED WIRE GROUNDED OUT AND CAUSED THE UNDER HOOD FUSEBLOCK TO MELT, SOME REPORTS ON LINE STATE THAT THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. CAME OUT OF RESTAURANT AND CAR WOULDN'T START. WHEN THE HOOD WAS RAISED WE COULD SMELL BURNING RUBBER. HAD I BEEN DRIVING IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS REPORTED TO GM TO TRY TO GET REIMBURSED. SAID BECAUSE IT WASN'T ON RECALL THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP US. THE PURPOSE OF THE FUSE BOX AS WE UNDERSTAND IS TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAMS ON THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN FLICKERING ON AND OFF AT NIGHT FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN THE LOW BEAMS WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL ON THE NIGHT OF DECEMBER 2, 2012, HIGH BEAMS WORKED BUT THE SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC FILLED THE CAR AND I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND ONE OF THE RELAYS, PRESUMABLY THE LOW BEAM RELAY, BURNED AND MELTED INSIDE THE FUSE BLOCK CAUSING A SMALL FIRE INSIDE THE FUSE COMPARTMENT WHICH FORTUNATELY CONTAINED THE FIRE BUT DESTROYED THE ENTIRE FUSE PANEL (BLOCK). THIS APPEARS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED AND COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2007 BUICK LACROSSE AND YET THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS IS A TOP TIER SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED AT A BUICK DEALER FOR A TOTAL OF $616.15. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE OR MILEAGE, YET I AM READING THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO EXPERIENCE THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE. I AM RESEARCHING ALL CLAIMS AND CONSIDERING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. I FEEL AS THOUGH GM OWES ME MY $616.15 BACK AND SHOULD CORRECT THIS ISSUE VIA A MASS VEHICLE RECALL. *TR

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW NOT TURNING ON AT NIGHT OR THEY BEGIN TO FLICKER ON AND OFF CAUSING ME TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON.. BUT TODAY I SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL FIRE AS I PARKED AND EXITED MY CAR AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND IT TURNS OUT THE RELAY FOR THE HEADLAMPS WAS BURNING AND MELTED. I REMOVED IT BUT IT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE OTHER RELAYS NEXT TO THIS ONE AND MELTED THE ACTUAL FUSE CENTER. I HAVEN'T CHECKED FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO OTHER COMPONENTS OF MY CAR YET BUT I WILL IN THE MORNING... THIS LOOKS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE AND STILL NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE.. *TR
