WHEN DRIVING WITH HEADLAMPS ON LOW BEAM, INTERMITTENTLY BOTH HEADLAMPS WILL GO OUT. THIS HAPPEN TO ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STEEP, CURVY, HIGHWAY ON A RAINY NIGHT. I WAS FACING AN ONCOMING BIG TRUCK, IN A SHARP CURVE. DIMMED MY LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING WENT TOTALLY BLACK ON MY VEHICLE. ALL I HEAR IS THE HORN OF A BIG TRUCK AS THE DRIVER IS TRYING TO AVOID MY VEHICLE. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND TOOK MY VEHICLE IN ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THIS MAKE AND MODEL IS NOT ON RECALL, YET. SO I AM OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR, WHILE OTHER GM VEHICLES ARE ON RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. CALLED GM, WAS BASICALLY TOLD, NO RECALL, YOUR PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN A GM CUSTOMER FOR 30 YEARS, NOT ANYMORE.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE RELAY. PART COST=$200.35.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2007. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN MODIFIED, OR THE COMPUTER PCM HAS NEVER BEEN REFLASHED. RECENTLY I TRIED TO GET MY VEHICLE INSPECTED IN NEW YORK STATE AND FOUND THAT BECAUSE THE OBD SYSTEM WAS UPDATED WITH A NEW SOFTWARE ON THE INSPECTION SYSTEM IN NEW YORK STATE, MY VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE INSPECTION COMPUTER. NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES HAS NO RESOLUTION ALTHOUGH THE INSPECTIONS ARE DONE FOR THEM. OPUS THE STATE COMPUTER MONITOR, STATES THAT THEY HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE INSPECTION SYSTEM. HOWEVER DURING MY QUEST TO FIND A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT SOME OF THE VEHICLES HAVE A PROBLEM CONNECTING TO THE NEW SOFTWARE UPDATED JUST A YEAR AGO. I BELIEVE THAT IF CONSUMERS WAIT LONG PERIODS OF TIME WITHOUT PROPER INSPECTIONS IN NYS THESE VEHICLES WILL BE DRIVEN WITHOUT THE PROPER INSPECTION. I HAVE FURTHER BEEN TOLD BY A CHEVROLET DEALER THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE NOW STARTING TO SURFACE AS A RESULT OF THE YEARLY INSPECTION IN NYS. MANY MORE A SURE TO COME OUT IN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS.

DRIVING AS NORMAL, WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, ROUGH IDLE TO COMPLETLY SHUTTING OFF AND THROWING ENINE CODES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THE FUSE BLOCK IS TRASHED.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY FAIL. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN THEY FAIL, I CAN'T SEE IN FRONT, AND ON SURFACE ROADS, ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAN'T SEE ME. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THIS VERY REASON, AND MY VEHICLE IS IN THAT GROUP, BUT WHEN THE VIN NUMBER WAS CHECKED MY VEHICLE WASN'T ON THAT LIST. I DON'T HAVE THE RECALL NUMBER, BUT I FOUND OUT ONLINE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR A FEW HOURS WHEN WENT TO START UP TO LEAVE BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS/DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT AND HAVE NOT COME BACK ON. FUSES ARE GOOD AND BRIGHT LIGHTS WORK ALSO LOW BEAM BULBS ARE GOOD.
