Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Headlights flicker - under certain circumstances(more often in cold weather) the headlights on the car "flicker" as if i were flashing my high beams or turn my lights off and back on again. doesn't really sound like a big issue....right. well, that's what i thought after the dealer refused to continue to replace alternators in my car because this was a "known issue" with oldsmobile. if you search on google or any other search engine you can find thousands and thousands of people with the same issue. back to the safety issue... i didn't think it was a big deal when the deal told me they wouldn't try to fix it anymore, big deal - my headlights flicker. it wasn't a big deal until last week when driving along and a car was waiting to pull out on the 55 mph road i was traveling on. just then, my headlights decided it was time to flicker and the car thought i was signaling for them to pull out in front o f me. i barely had time to slow down and had to pull somewhat off the road to avoid hitting them. with my one year old daughter in the car, i decided i am going to see what i can do about getting this issue fixed. *nm
