Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2011 GMC ACADIA. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN LATE 2013. THIS IS THE 6TH TIME I HAVE NEEDED TO REPLACE MY LOWBEAMS. LAST NIGHT HEADING HOME FROM WORK AROUND DUSK I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING HIM. I LOST DRIVERS SIDE TWO DAYS AGO AND LOST THE PASSENGERS HEADLIGHT AS I STARTED UP MY VEHICLE LEAVING WORK. IT WAS APPARENT THAT HE DID NOT SEE MY VEHICLE AS ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES HAD THEIR LIGHTS ON. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN ISSUE THAT IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT WHICH PUTS MY FAMILY IN DANGER. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS INCREASED RISK TO MY FAMILY AND OTHER FAMILIES THAT ARE ON THE ROAD WITH THESE VEHICLES.
