NHTSA Complaint #10470390 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

I REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP AND 8 DAYS LATER REPLACED PASSENGER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP. THE LAST BULB REPLACED WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW IS BURNED OUT AGAIN LESS THAN THREE WEEKS LATER. THERE IS EVIDENCE ON BOTH BULB CONNECTORS OF OVERHEATING. DIELECTRIC GREASE HAS BEEN USED EVERYTIME BULBS HAVE BEEN CHANGED THROUGH OUT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, ANY TIME THERE IS OVERHEATING ON AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT FURTHER PROBLEMS COULD ARISE. THERE IS A FACTORY RECALL ON OTHER YEAR MODELS BUT NOT ON THE 2008 GMC ACADIA SLT-2 HAVING EVERY BELL & WHISTLE ALONG WITH HIGHER PRICE TAG THAN LESSER TRIM PACKAGES. *TR
