Consumer Description

I CAN'T TELL YOU THE EXACT DATE OF INCIDENT. IT WAS ABOUT 2 YRS. AGO. THE HEAD LIGHTS WOULD NOT STAY ON. THEY WOULD GO OFF AND ON WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT WAS ONLY THE DIM LIGHTS. WE GOT A SWITCH AND HAD MECHANIC PUT IT IN. PLUS A RELAY. IT DIDN'T DO ANY GOOD. I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY GARAGE RECENTLY. THEY TOLD ME IT IS THE WIRING HARNESS. THEY SAID A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE TO FIX. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS AT ALL. THE CONSEQUENCES ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH NO LIGHTS. PLEASE RESPOND. THANK YOU. *JB
