Description of the problem | While driving at night on rural highways, towing my fifth wheel trailer, in az, ca and or with no other light sources nearby the headlights were dimmer than those i am used to making wild animals and people along the road difficult to see. The instances when i noticed this were all in september 2015 . This morning my dealer, robideaux motors in coeur d'alene, id, checked out the problem and told me that the lights appeared the same as other similar models and they could not duplicate the issue (repair order #193940). I was not surprised as i have seen numerous similar reports on internet blogs and i even understand gm is being sued over the same issue (2013 and 2014 models) in a case in california. |
