Headlights problems of the 2011 Buick Regal

Headlight keeps burning out. It has been replaced 5 times also driver seat heating works for 1 min and turns off.

The headlight assembly seal is allowing moisture to accumulate in the headlights causing dimming & low lighting, the headlights to go on & off periodically without warning and causing the assembly wiring to melt, causing more damage and electrical problems. While my husband driving to work in the early morning on the highway, the headlights suddenly stopped working and had to use his high beam lights and only one headlight working. This happened approximately 6 am on 1/6/2020. Gm has been aware of the problem since 2010 on several of their gm vehicles. No recall has been issued.

My car has been blowing light bulbs very frequently. I noticed that the wire what is chard and burned and naked resulting in the wires touching each other and causing my lights to fail. I replace the wiring harness once and two months later the insulation was burnt off of the wire again. There has been 2 instances where ive been driving and my headlights have went completely out at night time and I live in a rural area where there's not a lot of street lights. It almost caused me to wreck. It's not just my vehicle that has this issue. I have three friends who either drive a Regal themselves or have a close family member that has one and all three of them have told me that they're experiencing the same issues. This is definitely a safety concern. And if it were to happen to somebody else who was maybe not so lucky it could have caused a fatal accident.

The passenger headlight keeps melting the harness the light bulb goes into. I've replaced it 2 and this will be the 3rd time. Noticed when I was pulled over for a fix it ticket. Second time I noticed the lights were uneven and the 3rd time it was pointed out by a toll booth attendant.

Takata recall - there is an issue with the ballast in the hid headlamp assembly for the cxl turbo model. The seal may be faulty due to the headlamp shorting out except for the daytime running lights. They shorted out right after a heavy downpour and I was stopped by a police officer and told that they (the headlights) were out. I got out of the vehicle and looked at the the lights only to realize that they had malfunctioned and there was moisture in the assembly itself.

I am seeing multiple complaints online about the headlight assemblies here:. . Read more...

Condensation started in driver's side headlight to the point when light bulbs short out and are ruined as soon as they are put in. The water entering the electrical system is dangerous.

I have had the driver's side hid headlight ballast replaced 3 times in 9 months due to moisture in the headlight assembly.

I have had the headlights replaced twice. Where you plug in the headlight (low beam), it melts and the headlight will not work anymore.

Both sealed headlight assemblies have failed and now have condensation inside of them. The lights are still functional but I am afraid of a short circuit. The dealer wanted $1,000 per headlight assembly to replace. This vehicle still has under 50,000 miles on it. It happened while it was just sitting there, but I do drive through rain.

�takata recall� low beam headlights stopped working. But high beam works just fine.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Buick Regal. The contact stated that there was condensation in the headlights and they failed to operate without warning. The vehicle was taken to gilbert Chevrolet (3550 us-441, okeechobee, FL 34974, (863) 261-8947) where it was diagnosed that moisture was in the headlights and the headlight assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 95303514701. No further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 46,579.

Police stopped me due to missing passenger headlamp. As I was replacing said headlight, upon closer inspection, I noticed that the bulb wire harness were burnt black. The smell of burning was detected.

Passengers side head light and wire connected to it melted there was smoke in the headlight housing.

My wife's xenon hid headlight assemblies began leaking during moderate to heavy rain. The rain shorted out the ballast and the headlight went black. I replaced it and soon after, the other side did the same. The assemblies got worse and began fogging up during weather changes. Then, more ballasts went out. I went to gm and they said the assemblies are out of production and no longer available! this is not an old car. I found nos units on ebay and others, as well as used units from wrecked cars, but these were from $300 to $1,500 for each side! I checked online and noted that this appears to be a huge issue that has haunted many folks and gm is not addressing it. I had to order another ballast today, so I'm ordering two. I also found so-called aftermarket units in china, but during inspection I found they were actually made at hella specifications for gm in slovinia, but being sold as aftermarket in china for $700 a pair. This seems to be a major issue and if gm no longer supports a newer car, one is forced to by another car. I am out quite a bit of money with no help from gm /Buick whatsoever. How can this be allowed? this issue began in 2015!.
