I took the car in for a recall regarding the headlights. The recall number is N222363740. The dealer placed a sticker. On the headlights, which now makes it hard to see at night this is my wife-??s commuter car to work at the hospital. We live in a very rural area where the 2 lane roads are remote and very dark.my wife works from 7:00 am to 7:30 pm but with her commute she leaves at 5;30 am and returns home around 9:00 pm. This includes every single shift she works, so the bottom line is she leaves at dark and gets home at dark, needing her headlights to work and home every trip. ever since they applied the sticker to the headlights, she-??s having a much harder time seeing the road which is making it dangerous especially in winter weather. Since she travels by Two lane very dark back country roads. I am asking for a different remedy for the headlight situation, other than the stickers on the headlights that are actually making it harder to see. I-??m afraid she-??s going to get in a car accident rather it be with a vehicle or the many deer. We have run across the roads out here by not being able to see. I feel this is very time sensitive and would really appreciate a response back as soon as possible. Thank you very much.

I went in yesterday, 10/6/22, for a fix to recall #N222363740. All they did was put an applique on the outside of both my headlights which came off at the car wash today. I waited 4 years for a remedy and an hour at the dealer for cheap looking bandaid. NOT ACCEPTABLE!! See attached photo of GM's fix.

2014 GMC Terrain. Low beam lights only lights up what's right in front of her. Consumer scared to drive at night the consumer was unable to see the road, while driving at night. She stated the high beams, were not quite as noticeable.
When using low beam head lights, over half of the windshield ( top down) is blacked out, causing a restricted vision. There is a slight increase in vision when vehicle is being driven on an up hill grade. Vehicle was taken to the GMC dealership for correction. Service manager drove the vehicle home and experienced the reported problem. Solution to correct the restricted vision, was to adjust/raise the low beam headlights so they would shine higher to the maximum allowable by state law. This adjustment raised the black out level by a very limited level. Problem still exists. This adjustment now is causing on coming traffic and traffic we are following to think that we are using our high beam lights. Called GMC, their reply was that nothing could be done to correct the restricted vision. The problem is experienced at all speeds. Head light adjustment was not covered under warranty. We now have a restricted use of the vehicle for day time driving only.
