Consumer Description

SEPT. 3, 2014-RUNNING LIGHT WAS OUT ON PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO DEALER TO DO RECALL ON SEAT BELTS. HAD BULB PUT IN WHICH COSTS $73.13. RETURNED TO DEALER ON NOV 4, 2014 FOR SERVICE, OIL CHANGE, ETC. LIGHT WAS OUT AGAIN. TECH SAID HE HAD TO ORDER SOCKET- IT WAS SHORTED OUT. WENT BACK TO DEALER FOLLOWING WEEK ON FRI. WAS THEN TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY DUE TO MELTING OF INTERIOR OF LIGHT. TECH SAID IT WAS $1000.00 TO REPLACE. I TOLD HIM THAT NO I WOULD NOT PAY FOR THIS SINCE IT WAS NOT MY PROBLEM BUT A GMC DESIGN AND PARTS DEFECT. HE ASKED IF I WOULD PAY $100.00 WHICH I AGREED TO. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION OF OTHER HEADLIGHT WE FOUND THAT ONE WAS ALSO IN PROCESS OF FAILING AS WELL. DEALER SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHTS. THIS WAS DONE NOV 12, 2014. SO FAR SO GOOD. *TR
