LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES STOPPED FUNCTIONING. HIGH BEAMS STILL WORK. VERIFIED THAT BULBS AND/OR FUSES WERE NOT THE PROBLEM. SAME ISSUE AS NHTSA RECALL 15V519000 GM RECALL 14291. CONTACTED GM WHO CLAIMED MY PARTICULAR CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. AS MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS COMMENTS, THAT MAKES NO SENSE. IF ITS THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER RECALLED CARS HAD WHY ISN'T MY CAR ALSO RECALLED? IN MY OPINION GM NEEDS TO RECALL ALL CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM OR SUPPLY A VALID REASON WHY SOME CARS ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL.

MY DAUGHTER BORROWED MY CAR.ON THE WAY BACK, AT NIGHT, WITH TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR ,ON THE HIGHWAY THE LIGHTS GO OFF. SHE PULLS OVER AND TRIES TO GET THEM ON. THANK GOD HER HUSBAND WAS FOLLOWING HER IN THEIR CAR, WHO SHE FOLLOWED ,SO SHE COULD SEE. SO I GO TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE TO BUY BULBS TO FIND OUT I DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS IN THE FRONT. SO I GO TO THE GARAGE, THEY REPLACE THE BULBS FOR THE DAYLIGHTS. NOW HIGH BEAMS FLICKER AND STILL NO LIGHTS.THEY SAY I NEED A MODULAR. I CALL BUICK AND THEY TELL ME MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. THIS IS A BAD SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND SHOULD INCLUDE ALL MODELS.
