I WAS CROSSING HWY 90 IN LAKE CITY, FL. I CHECKED BOTH WAYS AND NO TRAFFIC WAS COMING. AS I WAS GOING INTO THE MALL A CAR CAME OUT OF NO WHERE AND HIT ME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE I DID NOT SEE HER HIT ME. IT TOTALED MY CAR AND THEY BLAMED ME FOR THE ACCIDENT. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY...UPDATED 08-26-14 *BF UPDATED 8/29/2014 *JS

THE AIR BAG MODULE IN MY LACROSSE IS BEING REPLACED FOR THE FOURTH TIME. IT FAILED THE FIRST TIME AROUND 40,000 MILES AND WAS REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY. IT FAILED AGAIN AROUND 80,000 AND I PAID TO HAVE IT REPLACED AROUND $900.00. I NOW HAVE 117,647 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT IS BEING REPLACED AGAIN. GM SAID THEY WOULD PAY $500.00 OF THE REPAIR COST. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THESE MODULE BREAK BUT IT WOULD SEEMS THAT THIS WOULD BE A PART THAT RARELY BREAKS. I BELIEVE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN ESTABLISHED AND THAT IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN IN 30,000 MILES. THE UNIT IS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT AND BELIEVE THAT HE WIRING IS SHORTING OUT ON THE SEAT TRACK. IF THE RED INDICATOR IS ON AN I MOVE MY SEAT IT GOES OUT IN LESS THAN A MINUTE. I HAVE ADVISED GM OF THIS BUT NO ACTION ON THEIR PART. *TR

MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2005 BUICK LACROSSE THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS OFF DIFFERENT ITEMS THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHTS (DIMS) WILL SHUT OFF, THE RADIO WILL TURN OFF OR THE LIGHTS FOR IT WILL DIM OR SHUT OFF, THE DASH LIGHTS DIM OR TURN OFF COMPLETELY, THEN TAKE QUITE A WHILE TO COME BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT AFFECTS ONLY DIFFERENT PARTS OF THOSE LISTED ABOVE. THE ISSUE IS WE HAVE HAD IT INTO A REPAIR SHOP AT LEAST TWICE FOR IT AND THEY HAVE REPLACE SOME PARTS THEY THOUGHT COULD CAUSE IT, BUT IT HASN'T STOPPED IT FROM HAPPENING. IT IS ONLY NOTICEABLE IN THE EVENINGS WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE NEEDED BUT IT HAPPENS AT ANY TIME BUT WHEN YOU WANT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE WHEN WE GET IT TO THE SHOP, THE PROBLEMS ARE NO LONGER SHOWING UP. IT HAS DONE THIS FOR HER AT LEAST 6 TIMES. *TR
