Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN REPLACING THE SOCKET/HARNESS FOR MY LOW BEAMS ON BOTH SIDES FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUGUST OF 2011. THE SOCKETS ARE MELTING, WHICH TO ME IS BOTH A FIRE HAZARD, AND A SAFETY HAZARD FOR NIGHT DRIVING SINCE THE LOW BEAMS DON'T WORK WITH A MELTED SOCKET. THIS ISSUE OCCURS ON BOTH SIDES. I HAVE ALSO RECEIVED A TRAFFIC VIOLATION TICKET AFTER BEING PULLED OVER, WHICH I WAS ABLE TO GET DROPPED BECAUSE I FIXED IT THE NEXT DAY. EITHER WAY, THIS IS A FIRE AND SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACING MELTING COMPONENTS A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR! I ALSO AVOID USING MY FOG LIGHTS BECAUSE I THINK THIS MELTS THEM QUICKER DUE TO EXTRA CURRENT AND HEAT DRAW. ALSO, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES FOR THE VERY SAME ISSUE. WHY NOT THE PONTIAC G6??? *TR
