While servicing my vehicle at an authorized GM dealership, I was notified of the recent recall regarding headlamps which get hot and can fail. It has been nearly 8 months since that recall was issued, and yet there remains no identifiable remedy or solution as to how they will resolve the issue and repair / replace the defective components.. entitled to safe vehicles, I am unsure as to how or why GM would believe that 8 months to not even have announced a solution is an absurdity. At this point, the period of time in which the manufacturer has had to develop and implement a solution is simply unacceptable as a consumer. I am under the belief that their solution to the problem is simple, they are going let the vehicles age a few more years and hope by that time, additional vehicles requiring repair will no longer be on the road and the issue will magically go away. As owners of this vehicle, I am entitled to the remedy as promised under recall GM 14291, and I do not think that it is acceptable for manufacturers to sit on open recalls for vehicles currently on our roadways which have been already been identified as having a safety defect in need of defect replacement or repair.

One evening while driving my vehicle on the highway, my headlights cut off. At first I didn't realize it until everything just appeared darker than usual. I had to switch to my high beams to finish the travel to my destination. This has happened continuously since then. Lights will come on at the start of the vehicle but shut down in no specific amount of time. I have taken it to three mechanics including a GM dealer and the vehicle lights stayed on during diagnosis. As of last night the lights did not come on at all. I will be returning to the dealership in the a.M in hopes that I may find a diagnosis and the solution. I can no longer drive my vehicle at night because I have already been pulled over by the police for this issue.

Headlights go out. Has happened several times while driving and 1 time would not come on when vehicle was started at night. If we had not had fog lights, we could have a bad accident or at very least been stranded on the side of the road.
Both headlights stop working simultaneously. Replaced relay which fixed problem. Both headlights again stopped working September 2014. Brights work but not low beam. Very dangerous situation.
One evening I was driving on the main highway and my inside lights came on. I pulled to the side of the road to check the switch but it was on auto. I turned it off but the lights stayed on. They were still on when I got home and parked turned off the ignition the lights were still on. The next morning my car couldn't start because it had ran my battery down. Another incident was my headlights went off one night while I was drive on the highway. I am also having problems with my gas gauge. My gas light comes on like I am out of gas. The last time I fill my car up with gas it hesitated. It didn't want to start. The light stays on when my car is full of gas. I smell gas. I sat at the gas station for an our because my car didn't want to start. The sound of my radio goes in and out. My lights continue to go on and off when driving or when not driving. One morning I got up to go to work, went to start my car and the headlights were on but the switch was off. I couldn't get the lights to go off when I got to work. They stayed on at least for 4 hrs. Sometime the lights doesn't come on when I put them on. I really have some weird things go on with my vehicle. I did get the module changed and they did some re-wiring in the door. One year before the module, I got them to check my car for a short and I was told from them that my wires were over heated. I paid about $900 to fix it. I strongly think it is a detect some wheres or something that would cause my wires to over heat.
