The consumers vehicle is equipped with a 2 headlamp system. After aligning the drivers side lower beam headlamp, the upper beam headlamp (which does not contain a separate aiming mechanism) appears to be aimed lower than the lower beam. The consumer states that this condition significantly limits the drivers visibility when using upper beam. The consumer has taken the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the headlamp was not repairable. The dealer also demonstrated a similar anamoly in the drivers side headlamp on another 2003 S10 that it had on the dealer lot.
Headlights dim without warning. On 2 occasions the headlights dimmed and failed. This reduces driver's visibility. As a result, the consumer drove off the road and went into a ditch. Also, upon depressing accelerator pedal automatic transmission dropped into first gear abruptly.
