2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 03/05/2020

Driver side headlight is retaining water/liquid. When I bought the car in 2015, I was told that my tires were new; then 2 years ago, I was told that I needed to replace two of them. Now one of the two original pirelli tires has pits and clears chunks missing from the tire base, as well as many cracks throughout the entire tire! lastly, the car has a habit of locking the doors on its own and keeping them locked, thereby making it impossible to get in. The most recent time, I called onstar. . . And didn't even speak to anyone, but they miraculously opened and the remote worked fine. . . Again! vehicle has under 49000 miles on it! vehicle has always been serviced by arnold chevy / Buick and no one else! OH, and just a complaint from when I purchased the vehicle: I was never told the car needed premium gas for best turbo performance; I was told that after owning the vehicle 3 years, after the warranty expired and I complained of the engine lagging.

The driver side headlight assembly holds water and moisture and light can not come out very well it's a known issue and should have a recall on it.

4 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2019

This vehicle has hid headlight assemblies that have constant issues with condensation/water entering the housing and causing the ballast and bulb to fail. This is due to a faulty seal between the outer and inner shell assembly. This is a huge safety issue, as the vehicle may loose all headlights and cause the driver to crash. The assemblies are very costly to replace and the issue is very very common on all 2011 though 2017 Regal and GS models with hid. This is dangerous and should be fixed by the manufacturer. New assemblies will result in the same safety issue in a short amount of time. This could be a design flaw or a manufacturing flaw. . . Regardless, it is very dangerous!.

5 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2018

We had the driver's headlight replaced under warranty due to it holding water. Once we got the car back and drove it at night, it was apparent that the light pattern was not the same. See photo. We were not able to see the road on the left side since the beam was essentially pointed down so I took the vehicle back and they said that the headlight was a new design and that's how it looks but they claimed to have adjusted it again. That week we drove to orlando at night and almost every car in the opposite direction would either flash their lights at us or honk their horn. I did a static test and the ledt light was illuminating overhead road signs at a distance of 50ft so we were blinding oncoming drivers. I contacted Buick corporate and they told me to take the vehicle back to the dealer a 4th time, once again I was told this is the new design but we will adjust it. As it stands right now, my left and right headlights are throwing 2 completely different light patterns, I still can't see the left side of the road and the high beams on the left side don't seem to illuminate anything at all. I'm a licensed engineer and accident re-constructionist that has subjected other vehicles to dot and sae headlight tests and these lights will not pass. It also causes undue stress on the the driver since the lighting pattern is no longer consistent across the front of the car. I would like some help in getting gm to acknowledge this issue and correct it since they are telling me that once my warranty expires in may, they are no longer responsible.
