NHTSA Complaint #10714496 — 2005 GMC ENVOY

I WAS DRIVING ON A CURVY 2 LANE ROAD IN THE COUNTRY AND THE SUN WAS JUST SETTING AND I COULDN'T GET ANY LIGHTS ON MY CAR. MY LIGHTS ARE AUTOMATIC AND I JUST ASSUMED THAT I HAD BUMPED A BUTTON AND ACCIDENTALLY TURNED THEM OFF, SO I STARTED TURNING THE SWITCH TO TURN THEM ON AND IT WASN'T WORKING. I ALMOST DROVE OFF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO GET SOME LIGHT ON. I THEN HIT A SECTION WHERE TREE LINED CURVED SECTION THAT WAS PRETTY DARK. THERE HAD BEEN NO SHOULDER OR ANYWHERE TO PULL OVER THERE OR FOR SEVERAL MILES. I COULD GET BIGHTS LIGHTS, BUT NO DIM. I ENDED UP DRIVING WITH MY FOG LIGHTS, UNKNOWINGLY AT THE TIME. WE HAD JUST REPLACE THE BULBS 5 MONTHS BEFORE BUT WE TRIED NEW BULBS AND FUSES TO SEE IF THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, IT DIDN'T. I HAVE NOTICED A RECALL ON LIGHTS FOR THE ENVOY YEARS 06-07 FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE THE SAME REASON AND MINE IS AN 05. *TR
