EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. BOTH TIMES OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DRIVING UNDER 35 MILES PER HOUR AND HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR LESS THAN FIVE MILES. THE FIRST TIME (FEBRUARY 2016), I STOPPED, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THE SECOND TIME (APRIL, 2016), I STOPPED, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE LIGHTS DID NOT COME BACK ON. I TURNED ON THE IGNITION AND TRIED THE HIGH BEAMS, AND THEY ILLUMINATED. WHEN I ARRIVED AT HOME, I TRIED THE REGULAR LIGHTS AGAIN, BUT THEY STILL FAILED TO WORK. I FOUND A RECALL ONLINE FOR THIS SITUATION FOR THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR O F MY CAR (#15V519000), SO I CONTACTED BUICK CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR DID NOT HAVE THIS RECALL ON IT. I BELIEVE THAT THE FACT THAT I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME CAR MODEL, MAKE, AND YEAR SHOULD SHOULD QUALIFY MY CAR FOR THE RECALL FOR THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A YEAR AGO WITH 66,100 MILES. ONE PREVIOUS OWNER. THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. IT'S STILL INOPERABLE. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE DOOR STOPPED WORKING, JUST THAT IT WAS PRIOR TO 66,100 MILES. IT HAS MADE THE VEHICLE UN-SAFE TO EXIT FROM THE REAR SEAT WHEN PARKED STREET-SIDE.

BEGINNING TO DRIVE HOME AT NIGHT AND DISCOVERED THAT HEADLAMPS WERE NOT ILLUMINATED. STOPPED CAR TO VERIFY THAT HEADLAMPS WERE NOT WORKING. FOUND THAT HIGH BEAMS WOULD WORK BUT NOT LOW BEAMS. TRIED RESETTING AUTO HEADLAMPS WITHOUT SUCCESS. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITH HIGH BEAMS. ONCE HOME TRIED RESETTING AUTO HEADLAMPS AGAIN - NO SUCCESS. NOT LIKELY THAT BOTH HEADLAMPS WENT OUT AT SAME TIME BUT CHECKED BULBS AND FUSES FOR LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS - ALL GOOD. HAVE SEEN REPORTS THAT HDM FOR 2006 LACROSSE FAILS AND HAS A RECALL BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL ON NHTSA SITE.
