1994 BUICK REGAL Exterior Lighting Problems

LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS WHEN DIMMER SWITCHED USED TO DIM BRIGHT LIGHTS RESULTING IN NO LIGHTS TRIPPING IT SEVERAL TIMES BROUGHT LIGHTS BACK AND LEFT THEM ON DIM UNTIL I COULD GET IT SERVICED AT COST OF APPROX 400.00 THIS WAS ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO. RECENTLY TILT COLUMN HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO OPERATE NOW WILL NOT LOCK IN POSITION AND LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK WHEN COLUMN IS TILTED DOWN. IS THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 94 AND AM THE ONLY DRIVER. I AM AFRAID THE STEERING COLUMN WILL SHIFT UNAFFECTEDLY AND CAUSE ME TO WRECK OR CAUSE THE MOTOR TO STALL AND LOCK STEERING AND CAUSE A WRECK. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS? *TR

THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT TO THESE TYPE OF CARS. IT ALMOST GOT MY FAMILY IN AN ACCIDENT!! NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

WIRING SHORTAGE WITHIN MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH (TURN SIGNAL) CAUSED BRAKE LIGHTS NOT TO LUMINATE. LIGHTS WOULD COME ON ONLY WHILE HOLDING TURN SIGNAL HANDLE BACK AND DEPRESSING BRAKE . PEDAL. DEALER REFUSSED TO REPLACE SWITCH WITHOUT CHARGE, SWITCH IS ON RECALL 97V-017 (STRAINED OR SEPARATED WIRE FOR TURN SIGNAL) I WOULD SUGEST THAT ALL THE WIRING WITHIN THIS SWITCH BE EXAMINED AND COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL!

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK
