2005 Chevy Uplander, headlight failure. Dim and flicker. GM indicates no known cause or solution. Mulitple replacements of alternator. GM claims there is nothing they can do, they say it doesn't create a dangerous situation. I disagree.

: the contact stated the headlights dim intermittently. When the accelerator pedal is not being depressed the headlights dim and the heater motor blower slows down. However, when the accelerator pedal is depressed the headlights and heater function normally. The manufacturer determined the computer was defective. Also, the power control module ( PCM) has been replaced, and the alternator was replaced 3 times.

The contact stated there was a problem with the dash lights and headlights flickering. The lights started getting dim as if they were losing power. The problem gets worse when applying pressure to the brake or gas pedal. This has been a constant problem. The vehicle was taken to a dealership, and the alternator was replaced. The problem recurred. She took the vehicle back to the dealership, and they said they would replace the alternator
