Headlights fail to come on sometimes if steering wheel is tilted, it will have to move tilt on steering wheel sometimes they will come on in a certain position on the wheel and the interior dial will not make them come on, if they are on and high beamed or used it will make the lights go out all together, will not come on until tilt is readjusted.

Headlights just go off on low beam will work only on high beam. Sometimes they work and then at other times they go off. Took to local dealership in brandon Mississippi, could not reproduce, however got stranded wouldn't crank at 23900 miles, boosted, took to dealership, gauges were clicking and jumping battery was replaced under warranty but I am afraid this is not the end of this problem. We have had three GMC's with previous battery problems while under warranty.
