[XXX] FROM MEMPHISTN. 2006 CADILLAC DTS LEFT HEADLIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF, TURN ON MANUALLY TO GET THEM BACK ON. CIGARETTE LIGHTERS SEEM TO WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO. MY CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT FOR NO APPARENT REASON, HAD THE FRONT END CHECKED,NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG WITH MY FRONT END , HEADLIGHTS WERE CHECKED FOR LOOSE CONNECTION,NOTHING FOUND WRONG BUT THEY CONTINUE TO FLICKER WHEN I DRIVE AT NIGHT, UNTIL I KEEP TURNING THE LIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF.

HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES WITHOUT WARNING. THEY DO COME BACK ON WHEN TURNED ON MANUALLY BUT CONTINUE TO TURN OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THEY TURN OFF IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER, SOMETIMES ONE OR THE OTHER OR SOMETIMES BOTH OF THEM. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND SHUT OFF EVERYTIME HEAD LIGHT ARE TURNED ON IN AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL MODES. HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED AND PROBLEM CONTINUES. BALLAST IS THE NEXT STEP BUT IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND DIFFICULT TO DO. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING / ENGINEERING CRITICAL PROBLEM. GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR. YOU PURCHASE A CAR AND EXPECT A CRITICAL ITEM LIKE YOUR HEAD LIGHTS TO WORK PROPERLY EVERYTIME. *TR

SUBJECT 2006 DTS VIN NO [XXX] I HAD MY FIRST FLAT TIRE IN ABOUT 15 YRS. I DECIDED TO SAVE TIME AND CHANGE THE TIRE MYSELF. ONCE I JACKED THE CAR UP FAR ENOUGH TO LET WEIGHT OFF THE RIM THE JACK BUCKLED WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN VERY UNSAFE. THANKFULLY I WAS ONLY LEFT STRANDED. ARE THE QUALITY OF ALL GM JACKS MADE SO POORLY? I CONTACED A FAMILY MEMBER WHO PROVIDED AN ADEQUATE JACK. I AM GLAD I NOR ANYONE ELSE WAS HURT DUE TO THIS JACK FAILURE. I INTEND TO PURCHASE A NEW TROLLEY JACK TO CARRY WITH ME AS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE LESS THAN ACCEPTABLE JACK WHICH CAME WITH THE CAR.
