ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLAMPS WILL GO OFF. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES THAT DURING THE DAY, THE MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAY, RADIO AND HVAC DISPLAYS WILL GO EXTREMELY DIM. IS THIS A FAULT WITH THE DAYLIGHT SENSOR? REGARDLESS, I DO NOT APPRECIATE HAVING A CAR GO DOWN THE ROAD WHERE THE HEADLAMPS GO OUT. I COULDN'T SEE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS AND COULD SEE AGAIN. NEXT TIME I STARTED THE CAR, EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I AM ENTERING THIS INFORMATION FOR MY MOTHER. *TR

2005 BUICK LACROSSE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO IGNITION KEY AND BRAKE PADS RECALL NOTICES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE ROTORS WERE MADE OF POOR MATERIAL. WHICH RESULTED IN PREMATURE WARPING. JUST PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY REPLACED ALL OF THE BRAKES. HOWEVER, A FEW WEEKS LATER, SOMETHING CAUSE THE CONSUMER TO BRAKE HARD, AND THAT ACTION CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE CONSUMERS HANDS AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A WILD SKID. HE ALMOST WENT INTO A DITCH, BUT MANAGED TO GET CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *JB
