NHTSA Complaint #10593601 — 2006 GMC ENVOY

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT ABOUT 11PM, GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR, MY HEADLIGHT JUST WENT OUT. I TURNED THE CONTROL SWITCH ON AND OFF TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COME BACK ON BUT THEY DIDN'T. I PULLED ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECK TO SEE IF MY OTHER LIGHTS WERE WORKING (BLINKERS, FLOOD LIGHTS, BRIGHTS) AND THEY WERE. MY HEADLIGHTS HOWEVER WEREN'T. I TRIED TURNING THE TRUCK ON AND OFF TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COME BACK ON BUT THEY DIDN'T. AFTER SITTING THERE WITH THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, I STARTED IT BACK UP AND THEY CAME ON. I HAD TO TURN AROUND AND GO BACK HOME IN FEAR THAT I COULDN'T FINISH MY TRIP BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF MY LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. SINCE THIS FIRST INCIDENT, MY LIGHT GO OUT ON A DAILY BASIS AND AT RANDOM. THEY HAVE GONE OUT WHILE MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN PARK AS WELL AS WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP AND AFTER THEM HAVING MY TRUCK FOR 9 HOURS, THEY TOLD ME THEY WORKED THE WHOLE TIME WHILE THEY HAD IT (GO FIGURE). I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK IN THIS MORNING BECAUSE IT WAS HAPPENING AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO SHOW TO THEM THAT MY SWITCH WAS REGISTERING MY HEADLIGHTS AS BEING ON WHEN THEY WEREN'T. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD AT THIS TIME THERE WASN'T MUCH THEY CAN DO AND THAT I JUST NEED TO GET IT REPAIRED. HARD TO DO WHEN NO ONE WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I AM LIMITED WHEN I CAN DRIVE MY VEHICLE DUE TO THIS MAJOR ISSUE THAT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. *TR
