Headlamps may Fail

NHTSA #15V519000 · Exterior Lighting — Headlights · NHTSA notice

Reported August 14, 2015 · General Motors LLC

Potentially affected: 429,170 vehicles

Repair completion: 51.17% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Manufacturer campaign 14291 · Owners notified May 17, 2016 · Vehicles built December 1, 2005 – September 28, 2007 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2006-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, GMC Envoy XL, 2006-2008 Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7x vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the headlamp driver module (HDM) may overheat and fail, causing the headlamps and daytime running lights to not illuminate.

Safety consequence

Headlamps that do not illuminate reduce the driver's ability to see the roadway and reduce the vehicle's visibility to oncoming vehicles, both of which increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

Manufacturer remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the HDM, free of charge. The recall began on May 17, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14291.

ODI #10884113

Incident: December 4, 2014 · Filed: July 11, 2016

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY ON. I'VE GOTTEN IT CHECKED BY 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I'VE GOTTEN THE SAME RESPONSE FROM EACH. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A MISFIRE, I NEEDED AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SEND UNIT, OXYGEN SENSOR BANK1/BANKA, AND THAT THE OIL WAS LEAKING BAD FROM AROUND THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. I GOT THE COILS CHANGED, SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES DONE, CHANGED THE OIL PRESSURE AND OXYGEN SENSORS TOO. ABOUT A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THAT THE LIGHT WAS BACK ON WITH THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING. THE OIL WAS FINE SO I TOOK IT TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON IT AND TOOK IT FOR A SECOND OPINION AND THE AGAIN NEEDED AN OXYGEN SENSOR AND OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SENDING UNIT. I CHANGED THEM AGAIN AND THEY USED THREADING TAPE FOR THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR TO STOP THE LEAKING OF OIL. I'VE SPENT AROUND $800 SO FAR AND 2 MONTHS LATER THE LIGHT IS BACK ON NEEDING THE SAME THINGS, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND OXYGEN SENSOR. I TOOK IT TO HAVE IT CHECKED WITH A SECOND OPINION AND WAS TOLD THAT MAYBE IT'S A DEFECT IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM OR SOMETHING ELECTRICAL THAT KEEP TAKING OUT THOSE SENSORS BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING FINE. WHEN I START MY VEHICLE UP FROM SITTING OVER NIGHT, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAY ON AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING STAYS ON WHILE IDLING. WHEN I START DIVING THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING GOING OFF UNTIL I STOP, THEN IT'S BACK ON. I CUT THE VEHICLE OFF IF I'M STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THEN BACK ON TO FINISH DRIVING. IF I DRIVE FOR ABOUT 15 OR 20 MINUTES, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING STAYS OFF UNTIL I START IT UP AGAIN THE NEXT TIME. IT MIGHT BE A DEFECT WITHIN THE SYSTEM AND HOPE SOMEONE WILL FIND THE CAUSE BECAUSE TO KEEP GETTING THE SAME REPAIRS OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS EXPENSIVE. ITS $150 JUST TO HAVE THE OXYGEN SENSOR CHANGED NOT INCLUDING THE PART AND THE PART IS $65, AND IF GOING TO CAR DEALERS IS DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THAT AMOUNT. PROBLEMS FROM 2014 TIL CURRENT

ODI #10819239

Incident: December 12, 2015 · Filed: January 10, 2016

THE ISSUE STARTED WITH MY LIGHTS STAYING ON. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. MY BATTERY WAS DYING AND I FINALLY SEEN THAT SOME OF MY LIGHTS OUTSIDE OF THE CAR WERE NOT SHUTTING OFF. I TRIED MANUALLY SHUTTING THEM OFF AND THAT DID NOT WORK. NOW MY HEAT AND AIR DOES NOT WORK. I'M SURE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT. WHEN I WENT TO CHECK THE FUSES IT SHORTED OUT WHEN I PULLED THE COVER OFF. I HOPE MY CAR DOES NOT CATCH FIRE NEXT. I DO HAVE THE ISSUE WITH MY DRIVER DOOR NOT WORKING. IT WORKED WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR, A COUPLE MONTHS LATER MY DRIVER DOOR WINDOW WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. WHEN I CALLED ISUZU THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO TRAVEL TO ALABAMA IF I WANTED THEM TO FIX IT. OTHERWISE I COULD HAVE A MECHANIC DO IT AND I WOULD BE REIMBURSED, I JUST DONT HAVE 7-$800 TO THROW OUT THERE.
