When the headlight switch is depressed, it stays in! Ie., It does not pop back out like it should. Every time I leave the car, it takes 20 minutes for the headlight to go out automatically. Note: I tried to check on recalls on your web site, but it does not show lesabre as one of the models of my 2001 buick. *Tr

Lighting complaints
Automatic transmission failed at 65000 miles after having already been repaired once. Initially extended warranty company tried to blame me for the failure but after dealer disassembled transmission for inspection it was covered. Also, have had numerous problems with lights on the dashboard, radio and steering wheel constantly failing, 2 windows have failed in the open position, the drivers side heated seat stopped working at 50,000 miles. The only thing that has not been fixed is the heated seat. Dealer says it costs too much to fix. I bought the best extended warranty the dealer offered and still have to fight to get things fixed. This is the last time I buy american. *Jb

told that in maine, it is required that headlights come on with wipers. Referring to driver's handbook, noted that setting the "twilight" control to off might cause problem but driver does not recall fiddling with that knob. It is possible that twilight knob had been previously set to zero. This car has every possible option, wanted or not and is presumed to be idiot-proof. It is however a very scary situation and I want it fixed please.*Ak
