A FEW TIMES THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT . DRIVING ON TWO LANE ROAD ONCE WAS CLOSE TO HEAD ON ACCIDENT . I DID EXTENSIVE TESTING TO FIND THAT THE HDM LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT RELAY MANUFACTURED BY I THINK DELPHI WAS THE PROBLEM . I WENT TO AUTO SUPPLY BOUGHT THE HEAVIEST DUTY RELAY I COULD FIND . I REPLACED IT AN PROBLEM WAS SOLVED . THIS WAS BACK IN MAY OF 2014 . THEN IN JANUARY 2015 I RECEIVED RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM . I HAVE CONTACTED G.M. SEVERAL TIMES . I READ WHERE THEY STATE IF YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE REPAIR THEY WILL REIMBURSE OWNER FOR THE REPAIR . THIS IS BLACK AND WHITE PLAIN AND SIMPLY . I SUBMITTED FORM , RECEIPTS , ECT . ACCORDING TO THEIR REQUIREMENT ON THE RECALL LETTER . DOES NOT SAY I HAVE TO WAIT FOR SEVERAL MORE LETTERS OR SEVERAL YEARS IT IS ON THEIR RECALL LETTER .EVERYTHING THEY ASKED FOR TO THE STANDARDS . WHILE ON VACATION MESSAGE TO CALL . AFTER MANY CALLS AGAIN I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO WAIT FOR SECOND RECALL LETTER TO GET REIMBURSED . SHE STATED I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO DEALER . WHY SO I CAN HAVE ANOTHER DEFECTIVE RELAY INSTALLED . NOT GOING TO HAPPEN JUST REIMBURSE ME FOR THE CLAIM I SUBMITTED . I CAN'T RETURN A ONE YEAR OLD RELAY THAT IS FAR BETTER THAN THEIR DEFECTIVE RELAY .THEY CAN'T FIGURE A REMEDY OUT YET . IT HAS BEEN A YEAR NOW AND I AM STILL WAITING TO BE REIMBURSED BECAUSE I DID NOT RECEIVE THE SECOND RECALL NOTIFICATION BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT . DRIVING A CAR AT NIGHT WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS IS NOT SAFE AND NEITHER IS PUTTING ONE OF THEIR DEFECTIVE RELAYS BACK IN IT . THIS RELAY HAS BEEN NOTED TO NOT ONLY FAIL , BUT IT CAN MELT CAUSING WIRE HARNESS TO MELT AT A REPLACEMENT COST TO APPROACH $ 2,000 AND AN POSSIBLY AN ENGINE FIRE AND THAT COST VERY HIGH OR VEHICLE REPLACEMENT . JUST PAY ME THE MONEY OWED ...

I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM GEORGIA AT 4:30 AM PITCH DARK AND MY HEADLAMPS CUT OFF. I WAS NEXT TO A SEMI AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO HIM. I HAD TO USE MY BRIGHTS BUT COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO KEEP THEM ON SO I HAD TO KEEP FLASHING THEM TO SEE. SINCE THEN I'VE HAD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT TONIGHT ON MAY 23, 2015 AT 9 PM AND MY LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON AT ALL NOW. THE ONLY WAY TO GET HOME ONCE AGAIN WAS TO DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHTS ON. I HAD MY BROTHER TEST THE LIGHTS AND THEY COME ON AND CUT OFF RANDOMLY AT WILL. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED.
