2008 Buick Lacrosse

I BOUGHT THIS LOVELY CAR AND THOUGHT I GOT A GREAT DEAL-NOW I WONDER WHAT I WAS THINKING!! THE CAR DROVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP BEAUTIFULLY, BUT AFTER 5 DAYS OF OWNING IT I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT 70MPH AND THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. I NOW HAVE THAT PROBLEM ANY TIME I DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON WHILE THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED AND LAST NIGHT I LOOKED OUTSIDE, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. NOTHING I DID WOULD MAKE THEM STAY OFF OTHER THAN DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. THE ELECTRICAL ON THIS CAR IS OBVIOUSLY A NIGHTMARE AND I WILL BE LOOKING IN TO TRADING THIS CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE :(
