2013 BUICK ENCLAVE Exterior Lighting Problems

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE FAILED. THE PASSENGERS SIDE FAILED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND I HAD IT REPLACED. A YEAR LATER IT FAILED AGAIN BUT I WAS NOT GOING TO PAY $1500 TO REPLACE IT. THE DRIVERS SIDE RECENTLY FAILED. I LITERALLY WATCHED IT HAPPEN AS THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND RUNNING WHILE I WAS APPROACHING IT. NOW THEY ARE BOTH NOT FUNCTIONING. THESE ARE LEDS AND SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN ORDINARY LIGHTS.

WHEN DRIVING THE WHOLE ELECTRIC SYSTEM WIGS OUT. IT STARTS WITH THE WHOLE A/C CONTROLS BLACKING OUT AND TURNING OFF. THEN THEY MIGHT FLICKER. THIS IS FOLLOWING BY EVERY WARNING AND SERVICE LIGHT IN THE DASH COMING ON AND EVERY WARNING ANNOUNCEMENT COMING ON THE SCREEN ON THE DASH WITH THE CAR BEEPING AND DINGING. THEN THIS IS FOLLOWED BY THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN AND GOING BLACK AS WELL. SOMETIMES IT WILL DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN AND FLICKER A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE COMING BACK ON FINE, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL COME BACK ON FINE AFTER DOING THIS WHOLE CYCLE ONCE. IT HAS NOT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE SO FAR, BUT THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH STEERING AND DOWN OR UP SHIFTING DURING AND RIGHT AFTER THIS HAPPENS. IT MAY DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN THE SPAN OF ABOUT 10 MINS, OR IT MAY DO IT ONCE IN...

REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TURN SIGNAL/BRAKE LAMPS KEEP BLOWING EVERY 5-6 MONTHS. ALMOST LIKE CLOCK WORK, THE PASSENGER SIDE LAMP BLOWS AND WITHIN 5-6 DAYS THE DRIVER SIDE LAMP BLOWS. HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT BRANDS/TYPES OF LAMPS TO NO AVAIL. ISSUE BEGAN IN 2016 AND HAVE REPLACED BOTH LAMPS 5-6 TIMES. PLACE APPROXIMATELY 4,000 - 5,000 MILES ON VEHICLE ANNUALLY. DEALER NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS BUT SEEMS TO BE A GM PROBLEM BASED ON OWNER COMPLAINTS ON MESSAGE BOARDS. NOT SURE IF RELATED TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT HAVE ALSO REPLACED BOTH HID HEADLIGHTS AND REAR AC BLOWER MOTOR.

SHORTS IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TURN SIGNALS, REVERSE LIGHTS, PARKING LIGHTS, TAILIGHTS BURN OUT. RADIO AND COMMUNICATIONS PANEL SHORTS

VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS A SHORT IN THE HEADLIGHTS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLES.
