Consumer Description

THE HEADLAMPS BLOW OUT AND UPON EXAMINING THE BULB HOUSING THE WIRING AND THE CASING THAT THE REPLACEMENT BULBS IS SUPPOSE TO BE INSERTED IN IS BURNED OFF. THE WIRING AND THE CASING IS GONE. THE RECALL IS 12V484 IS NOT ADDRESSING THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE OF THE HEADLAMPS CLEARLY FAILING TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS BY BURNING OUT AND NOT GIVING ANY INDICATORS ON THE INFORMATION PANEL THAT THE HEADLAMPS ARE BLOWN. THE CASING IS SO HOT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE THE BULB I BURNED MY HAND AND MY VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT HAVE HEADLAMPS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AT GM EXPENSE. *TR
