Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2008 GMC ACADIA AND MY PASSENGER LOW BEAM KEPT GOING OUT EVERY 2-3 MONTHS. FINALLY AFTER REPLACING IT 5 TIMES, WE FOUND OUT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS GETTING SO HOT IT ACTUALLY MELTED THE HARNESS. I'VE READ SEVERAL TIMES THAT THIS IS A NORMAL THING, BUT GMC REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON THE HEADLIGHTS. NOT ONLY IS IT DANGEROUS TO ONLY HAVE 1 LOW BEAM WORKING, BUT IT IS A FIRE HAZARD IF YOU JUST KEEP REPLACING THE BULB. MY WIRING HARNESS IS SO BAD THAT IT DISINTEGRATED IN MY HAND THE LAST TIME I WENT TO CHANGE A BULB. THAT'S HOW I FOUND OUT THERE'S A MAJOR PROBLEM.
