Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The projector headlights that are installed in this vehicle from the factory do not provide adequate visibility at night. I am unable to see more that 15 feet in front of this vehicle from a safety perspective. I have returned the vehicle to the dealer multiple times for repair. They changed the bulbs but stated they are working within design specifications and said that gm had used a new type of lighting system in 2015 but realized it is was not adequate and redesigned in later model year. If gm realizes they have a problem why will they not repair vehicles that they sold prior to realizing their mistake? In the rain at night there is virtually zero visibility. Gm needs to fix this problem as it is a major safety issue. |
