NHTSA Complaint #10608336 — 2005 BUICK LACROSSE

MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2005 BUICK LACROSSE THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS OFF DIFFERENT ITEMS THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHTS (DIMS) WILL SHUT OFF, THE RADIO WILL TURN OFF OR THE LIGHTS FOR IT WILL DIM OR SHUT OFF, THE DASH LIGHTS DIM OR TURN OFF COMPLETELY, THEN TAKE QUITE A WHILE TO COME BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT AFFECTS ONLY DIFFERENT PARTS OF THOSE LISTED ABOVE. THE ISSUE IS WE HAVE HAD IT INTO A REPAIR SHOP AT LEAST TWICE FOR IT AND THEY HAVE REPLACE SOME PARTS THEY THOUGHT COULD CAUSE IT, BUT IT HASN'T STOPPED IT FROM HAPPENING. IT IS ONLY NOTICEABLE IN THE EVENINGS WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE NEEDED BUT IT HAPPENS AT ANY TIME BUT WHEN YOU WANT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE WHEN WE GET IT TO THE SHOP, THE PROBLEMS ARE NO LONGER SHOWING UP. IT HAS DONE THIS FOR HER AT LEAST 6 TIMES. *TR
