I purchased the 2016 Buick Regal used in 2021 with 40,000 miles., it now has close to 70,000 miles. It-??s still in well cared for mint condition, except for the driver side headlight. Condensation appeared and has been getting worse, dealership says the only option is buying another complete headlight assembly for $1200. The LED part of that headlight has stopped working., it-??s inevitable that the bulbs themselves with fail also. This is a safety issue. It-??s absurdly cost prohibitive for me and most everybody else to spend that kind of money to fix a headlight.., and $1200 is the cost of the part alone, we-??d be adding labor to that. This is a manufacturer defect that so many people are suffering with. They say we-??re getting no relief from this because not enough people have filed complaints to the NHTSA. GM should be compelled to provide this part to us at a much more reasonable price. I-??m just a poor widower dad with a daughter in college. Thank you.

Water leaking into both front headlights results in dimming of headlights making it hard to see during nighttime driving and a real concern that the HID ballast wiring will short out causing complete loss of headlight operational function. There are many reports online of customers complaining that their HID headlights blew out due to water leakage and they were unable to see properly during nighttime driving. This is huge safety issue. Dealer Confirmed fault with both front headlight assemblies and verified significant water leakage into headlight assemblies. Customer called GM customer service where issue was escalated to senior advisor. Senior advisor was unable to offer any cost assistance to customer despite significant safety concerns, due to vehicle age of 5 years and 2 months. Total cost approximately $2300.
