Description of the problem | The headlight performance on this truck is the worst i've seen in any vehicle, but for a truck, i cannot believe they are allowed on the road at night. The owner's manual states they are factory set and do not need adjustment. That information was obviously not checked during the quality check or checked but felt it was as good as it gets. On high beam, the driver's side light is pointing so far up, it's in the trees and above the road. The right side high and low beams are inadequate for all purposes, especially seeing around curves and turns. You are literally blind on a dark street, even with the fog lights. Very poor illumination of the road. I've taken it in to the dealer for adjustment and they did not change anything. This will be the last gm product i buy since it seems the last three vehicles i've owned had issues that could not be resolved. And i am a member of the gm family. For the price of these vehicles, they should be top quality. Gm should be ashamed of the quality they deliver to customers for vehicles priced over $45k. |
