The housing that holds the headlight switch fell out of the dash. It had to be snapped back in. 
36300 mi Have once again, as on my 2009 acadia,picked up what I call a hormonic vibration, feels like your hands are going numb. This is most noticeable at the 70-up speed. Which is the speed you travel on the highway. Very disappointed with GM.
