Description of the problem | The headlights are unsafe for nighttime driving especially in darker rural areas and in bad weather. The side lighting from the headlights are nearly nonexistent especially around sharp curves. In order to read signs at night i often have to use my highbeams in order to read them regardless if there is traffic in front of me or oncoming. I drive home from work nightly with my high beams on the entire was unless there is a car close in front of me. I've yet to have oncoming traffic flash their lights at me do to having my highbeams on. I have made the dealership aware as well as corporate gm . As of now the only action they will take is to replace my old bulbs with the same bulbs they took out. This is an extremely common issue with this vehicle but yet no recall has been made. Only a tsb which i can't even get my dealership to follow. |
