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.
