NHTSA Complaint #10816308 — 2007 GMC ACADIA

BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE MELTED THE BULB SOCKETS AND THE BULB HOUSING. THE SOCKETS HAVE MELTED SO BAD THAT YOU CANNOT REMOVE THE BULB AND THE HOUSING HAS MELTED SO BAD THAT THE HOUSING WILL NO LONGER HOLD THE BULB IN PLACE. THE PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED BY THE FACT THAT YOU CANNOT TURN THE LIGHTS EITHER ON OR OFF BECAUSE THE DIAL DEFAULTS TO AUTOMATIC WHICH WILL USE THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY UNLESS YOU PHYSICALLY TURN THEM OFF EACH TIME YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. THIS SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES CAUSES A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD! THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. THE PHOTO WITHOUT A BULB IS THE LEFT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT HOUSING AND THE PHOTO OF THE BULB GOES IN THAT HOUSING. THE PHOTOS WITH THE BULB STILL IN THE HOUSING ARE OF THE RIGHT RUNNING LIGHT. THE HOUSING IS COMPLETELY MELTED AND A SUBSTANCE HAS MELTED OUT OF THE SOCKET AND INTO THE HOUSING. I FEAR THAT THESE CIRCUMSTANCES WITH CAUSE A FIRST AND JEOPARDIZE THE SAFETY OF ME, MY WIFE AND MY CHILDREN.
