Takata recall- I was driving home on a busy city street at 6:30 pm it was dark both headlights malfunction at same time. When I arrive home the doom lights inside the car would not go off, about 45 minutes later they went off. I was afraid for my safety and others as I was driving home in dark.
I'm having a problem with my headlights going off while I'm driving down the road. It seems to happen while the lights are in automatic mode and when I try to switch them on manually after it happens it takes a few minutes for them to respond. This has happened on numerous occasions. And others that I know with the same model vehicles are having the same problem.

Highly dangerous situation! as I was driving at night on the highway, my headlights suddenly went out. Thankfully, I was in an area that had some overhead lighting or I would have been in a life-threatening situation. The only way I could see was to turn on the high beams. Now I cannot drive the car at night any longer unless I use the high beams at all times. When I called to find out if this issue, which as a safety one should be a manufacturer recall, I found that, while the car make/model/year in general was under a recall, my VIN was not. How can this be? I request that the recall for this serious issue be added for all 2007 GMC Envoy. Our lives are at risk! thank you.

Headlights have shutdown and only brigh lights function GM has a recall on the 2007 gmzc Envoy for this specific problem but when I enter the VIN I provided it does not direct me to this specific recall I think my VIN should be covered since I read that approximately 318,000 Envoy are under recall I appreciate your consideration into my request.
Both of my low beam head lights went out at the same time. I looked this up and found out that there was a recall on this on August 14, 2015 and I was not notified about this recall. I was pulling my vehicle into my garage when I noticed the lights were out. I checked both bulbs and fuses and they were all okay. The high beams, fog lights and turn signals work, just not the low beams on either side.
