“HEADLIGHT LOW BEAMS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THEY TURNED BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THE NEXT YEAR IT HAPPENED, THEY STAYED OFF UNTIL PULLING OVER, TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHERS ON THE INTERNET, AND SEEMS TO BE RESTRICTED TO THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND GMC ENVOY. THE REPORTED FIX IS TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM RELAY.”
