Consumer Description

THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY'S ARE MELTED AND HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK. SEEMS THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH GMC HEADLIGHTS IN YEARS PAST THAT THEY CONTINUE TO NOT ADDRESS. I AM FURIOUS THAT DESPITE REPORTS AND RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE FROM MANY YEARS AND MANY MAKES AND MODELS THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED AND CONTINUE TO AVOID RECALLING ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS GARBAGE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, THAT CAUSES HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL AND INCREASES RISK OF CAR FIRE. I WANT THIS REPAIRED BY THIS GARBAGE COMPANY AND SOMETHING DONE TO MAKE THEM STOP UTILIZING THESE UNSAFE AND FAULTY ASSEMBLIES.
