When driving at night in the middle of a drive the headlights and drl failed. The next day they worked. This is similar to NHTSA id# 10724629. Called Buick at (800) 521-7300 and she said my complaint was recorded as service request 8-1699743903. She also informed me that even though some 2006 Buick rainers were recalled that my VIN was not included in the recall. I am experiencing the exact problem of other rainers and should be included in the recall. I informed Buick of this. Please contact bucik to demand the same.

Regarding exterior lighting- while driving at night -the headlights will suddenly go off & stay off for a period of time. Sometimes they will come back on & stay & other times just stay off. It was not happening every time,but now seems to do it more frequently. I'm afraid to drive it at night.

My car has an intermittent headlight problem. The head lights will go off when driving the vehicle and stay off from 10 to 30 seconds. I do turn on the fog lamps and pull over when safe to stop.

Headlights go from bright to dim 4-7 times/minute when driving. Dealer replaced alternator, did not help. This will happen on some occasions only.
