“STARTED OUT AS A HEADLAMP THAT WE THOUGHT WAS BURNED OUT. REPLACED THE BULB AND IT WORKED FOR A DAY OR TWO. NEXT THE GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, HEAT AND COOLING GAUGE AND NOW BOTH HEADLAMPS DO NOT WORK. MY HUSBAND HAS TO DRIVE IN THE DARK WITH BRIGHTS ON BECAUSE THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO HEADLIGHTS . THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND GM SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WE CANNOT DRIVE OUR VEHICLE AT NIGHT UNLESS WE USE OUR BRIGHTS THE WHOLE TIME WHICH THEN BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE TO OTHER DRIVERS. THIS IS AS SERIOUS AS SEAT BELTS FAILING OR WINDSHIELD WIPERS OUT OF WHACK. PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS WITH QUICK AND SERIOUS MEASURES. *TR”
