Consumer Description

LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. ONCE IN A WHILE IT WILL COME ON BRIEFLY THEN GO BACK OUT. HAD THE HEADLIGHT TESTED, IT'S NOT THE LIGHT, ITS THE ELECTRICAL. FURTHER INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER ONLINE, I FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES, YET, NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE YET. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM, AND WILL TAKE SERIOUS THOUGHT INTO EVER PURCHASING ANOTHER GM VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE FOR MONTHS FOR MYSELF. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX.
