Consumer Description

HEADLIGHTS DIM WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHTS SOME TIMES FLICKER BRIGHT TO DIM THEN BACK TO BRIGHT AND THE VOLTAGE GAUGE FLUCTATES. THIS HAS ESCALATED TO WHERE FOR NO REASON THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO DIM FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10 SECONDS THEN RETURN TO NORMAL, AT THIS TIME THEY GO DIM ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN'T SEE WHEN DRIVING AND HAVE TO PULL OVER. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS SPOKE TO GM AND BUICK REPRESENTITIVES FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD: THERE IS A PROBLEM - WE'RE AWARE OF IT - WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.*AK
