When switching headlights from high to low and low to high beam occasionally the lights go dark. This is a scary situation at high speeds. Luckily the lights usually come back on if the leaver is depressed several times. I have been told that the only fix is a new switch assembly at over $500 just for the switch not to mention the labor cost. I understand that the '07 buick la crosse had a recall on this switch. I suspect that my '04 la sabre may have a similar switch. There are a two other functions on this switch, l/r signal, windshield wipers/washers, all of which work without a problem. I got no satisfaction from my gm dealer when I requested help with the repair cost.

Started out as a headlamp that we thought was burned out. Replaced the bulb and it worked for a day or two. Next the gas gauge, speedometer, heat and cooling gauge and now both headlamps do not work. My husband has to drive in the dark with brights on because there are absolutely no headlights . This is a serious safety issue and gm should be issuing a recall. This is extremely dangerous and we cannot drive our vehicle at night unless we use our brights the whole time which then becomes a safety issue to other drivers. This is as serious as seat belts failing or windshield wipers out of whack. Please respond to this with quick and serious measures.
