Consumer Description

ON THE EVENING OF 9/5/2015 I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 BUICK RAINIER WHEN THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A SAFE LOCATION USING MY HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. WHEN INSPECTED BY MY LOCAL BUICK DEALER (FERMAN BUICK) IT WAS FOUND THAT RELAY 46 (HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE) HAD BURNED UP AND DAMAGED ADDITIONAL FUSES AND RELAYS. THE ENTIRE FUSE BOX HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE DAMAGE. THIS CASE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO GM (#8-1567980379). GM CURRENTLY HAS MULTIPLE YEARS OF BUICK RAINIER UNDER RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, SO I'M HOPING THEY EXPAND THE RECALL TO COVER 2005.
