I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER WORK AROUND 7PM GOING ABOUT 45-50 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BEGAN SLOWING DOWN AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS IS WHEN I REALIZED THAT MY CAR HAD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF WHICH I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY SINCE IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM SHUT DOWN, GAS INDICATOR WENT TO E AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE AND AS THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO LOCK UP. ONCE I WAS FULLY PULLED OVER FROM THE TRAFFIC, I BRAKED AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO CATCH MY BREATH ON WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT IF IT WERE MORE TRAFFIC. SINCE I WAS PULLED OVER I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY TO RESTART MY CAR. BEFORE I RESTARTED IT, I NOTICED THAT MY KEY IGNITION WAS STILL IN THE ON POSITION SO I TURNED IT BACK TO TAKE THE KEY OUT AND THEN IMMEDIATELY PLACED IT BACK IN AND TURNED IT TO SUCCESSFULLY RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS CAR. I'VE HAD IT SINCE DEC. 2013 AND HAVE A LITTLE OVER 15K MILES. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE GMC DEALERSHIP REGARDING THIS ISSUE SINCE I DID NOT SEE ANY RECALLS ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHEN USING LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS, OVER HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD ( TOP DOWN) IS BLACKED OUT, CAUSING A RESTRICTED VISION. THERE IS A SLIGHT INCREASE IN VISION WHEN VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN ON AN UP HILL GRADE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP FOR CORRECTION. SERVICE MANAGER DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND EXPERIENCED THE REPORTED PROBLEM. SOLUTION TO CORRECT THE RESTRICTED VISION,WAS TO ADJUST/RAISE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SO THEY WOULD SHINE HIGHER TO THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE BY STATE LAW. THIS ADJUSTMENT RAISED THE BLACK OUT LEVEL BY A VERY LIMITED LEVEL. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS ADJUSTMENT NOW IS CAUSING ON COMING TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC WE ARE FOLLOWING TO THINK THAT WE ARE USING OUR HIGH BEAM LIGHTS. CALLED GMC, THEIR REPLY WAS THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO CORRECT THE RESTRICTED VISION. THE PROBLEM IS EXPERIENCED AT ALL SPEEDS. HEAD LIGHT ADJUSTMENT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WE NOW HAVE A RESTRICTED USE OF THE VEHICLE FOR DAY TIME DRIVING ONLY. *TR
