NHTSA Complaint #10632587 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

THERE IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD WITH THE DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS OVERHEATING BEFORE THEY BURN OUT ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THE BULB GETS SO HOT THAT THEY MELT THE BULB SOCKET CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL FIRE HAZARD. THE HEAT ALSO HAS MADE THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING BRITTLE AND CRACKED TO WHERE THE SOCKET WONT STAY IN PLACE INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING THUS CAUSING THE BULB TO LAY ON THE PLASTIC CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. GENERAL MOTORS KNOWS ABOUT THIS FIRE HAZARD BECAUSE I HAVE CALLED IT TO THERE ATTENTION AND BECAUSE THEY HAVE A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM #13135. THEY HAVE ALSO RECALLED SOME 2007 AND 2009 TO 2011 VEHICLES BUT NOT 2008 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
