Description of the problem | The headlights on the truck are not as bright or as effective as they should be when traveling in the dark. I am forced to use the high beam far more than i would normally do in my car. Even with the upgrade, the light is still weak. Even to the point that i decided to buy after market leds to replace them. The 2016 had a complete redesign of the headlights and i wonder why. As for the infotament system. It is weak to say it nicely. The fact that my 2014 model can not get the same features that they introduced in the 2015 (speech to text) and 2016 (car play) is appalling. Especially when they say the hardware is not there for the text to speech but there are 3rd vendors who can give it on the 2014 models. As for the rust proofing on this truck. It was cheaply done and the protective film is wearing off. I would take it to the dealership but i decided this spring i will have it professionally fixed with some rust proof paint and not the cheap wax that gm used. |
