Description of the problem | We have a 2010 gmc acadia that has had multiple low beam headlights going out. The whole headlight assembly has been an issue as per many complaints in various forums online. Gmc knows they have issues with the power to these units and will not do anything to replace. I have replaced seven low beams in total between both lights. These can go out and come back on at various times also giving the drivers a false sense of security. I have included word doc of online communication today after removal of personal information with gmc and the only solution is at a local service gmc level. The ending comment speaks volumes that if gmc sees enough complaints they will then consider a recall. Being a fire chief i believe this is totally unacceptable due to the possible loss of headlamps. The other note was my mileage was to high as my vehicle was just over 100,000 miles. This issue was taking place for the last few years. They need to do a recall on all of these headlight assemblies. I have dated this issue today even though the last time this issue started was about 4 months ago. |
