I HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW PROBLEMS WITH HAVING TO REPLACE BULBS IN THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS OF 2006 BUICK LACROSSE. BUT, FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS WHEN I DRIVE CAR AT NIGHT ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DIM LIGHTS GO OFF AND I CANNOT SEE A THING. TWO TIMES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED I WAS MEETING ANOTHER CAR. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A HEADON COLLISION. THE LIGHTS GO OFF, I HAVE TO SWITCH TO BRIGHT LIGHTS TO DRIVE. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING TO ME AS WELL AS OTHERS. IF I PARK IT FOR AWHILE THEY WILL WORK AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO BE JUST A SHORT WHILE AFTER YOU CRANK CAR AND START DRIVING THAT IT HAPPENS. I HAVE SEEN WHERE THERE ARE RECALLS ON BUICK'S LIGHTING BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL. ONCE I WAS DRIVING ON A FARM TO MARKET HIGHWAY; NEXT TIME, DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IN MOTION BOTH TIMES.

WHY WAS THIS CAR NOT RECALLED WITH OTHER GM PRODUCTS WITH THE 3800 V6 ENGINES FOR THE OIL LEAKS? THESE CARS HAVE THE SAME 3800 V6 AS ALL OF THE RECALLED CARS!
