Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS EITHER THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE EVERY WEEK FOR THE LAST MONTH. THERE WAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #14823 RELEASED BY GM ON MAY 12, 2015 AND I WAS TOLD BY GMC I NEEDED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT TO TRY TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR SPECIAL COVERAGE. THERE IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE HERE AND DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM. I CAN'T SEE HAVING TO SPEND OVER $1000 TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES FOR A KNOWN PROBLEM
