HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK WHEN CONSUMER IS DRIVING. HEADLIGTHS WILL NOT COME ON, BUT HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WILL. HAS HAD BULBS REPLACED, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. C0NTACTED DEALER. *AK

HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, NOT THE BULBS OR FUSES, BUT FROM CORROSION IN WIRING. THIS CAR IS LESS THAN 3 YRS OLD! WE CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OTHERS W/ SAME YR/MAKE/MODEL/MILES WITH SAME PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS... WE DID NOT REALIZE THE LIGHTS WERE OUT AT FIRST AND DROVE SOME DISTANCE W/O HEADLIGHTS. THE HIGH BEAMS WORK IF THEY ARE TURNED ON JUST THE REGULAR HEADLIGHTS WIRING IS FAULTY. [email protected] HAS REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE SAME CAR WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES. GM HOTLINE ANSWERER SAYS THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T TAKE A FATALITY ACCIDENT FOR THEM TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS. THANK YOU.*AK
