Consumer Description

LAST NIGHT WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THE LEFT FRONT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS NOT WORKING. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE LIGHT BULB CHANGED AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE BULB SOCKET/WIRING WAS BURNT AND THE BULB WAS DAMAGED. THEY SAID I WOULD NEED A NEW BULB AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS PART HAS FAILED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE HARNESSES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THE LEFT SIDE HARNESS AND BULB WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR APPROX. 10,000 MILES AGO AND NOW IT IS BURNT UP AGAIN. I FEEL THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE. GM SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO UPGRADE THE WIRING HARNESS SO THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT CONTINUE. *TR
