5 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2004

Head light flicker while driving and turning or going over bumps. Appears to make drivers think I am flashing my high beams. Dealer could not duplicate problem. Very distracting while driving, not only to me but people who are ahead of me. Dealer was not very concerned about problem and sent me on my way. I feel like this is a safety issue and should be taken care of. This is not an intermittent problem, it happens every time I drive at night.

6 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 10/07/2003

While driving at night the headlights and dash lights flicker off and on. This condition only occurs while traveling at speeds above 35 mph and when hitting a bump or making a curve. This condition is not only distracting, but when driving at night with no other ambient light I am unable to see adequately ahead of my vehicle. I have had drivers ahead of me pull over thinking that I was flashing my lights at them and other drivers get irate believing that I am "bright lighting them". This is a safety issue that appears to be widespread on the denali's with stabilitrak. Gm states that this condition is "normal". I believe that headlights are meant to burn steady and not flicker off and on. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this with the auto manufacturer to mandate a fix before there are injuries attributed to this condition.
