A few years ago I was driving home and both headlights of our GMC Acadia went out at the same time. I drove home, in the country, in total darkness. We had them replaced by the garage, which was very, very expensive due to extreme difficulty accessing the headlights for this model. Since then, we have had to replace them two more times which we did ourselves due to the cost. We have owned this car since it's been brand new and have always had issues with seeing in the dark. For the last several years, we have had teen drivers driving this car. My son is worried so we recently we had it in the shop to adjust the headlights. They actually made them worse, which we didn't think could happen. They said they had their best mechanic on it but because they were doing it during their office...
WINDSHIELD WIPER JUST SOPPED WORKING UNEXPECTEDLY. WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND IT STARTED RAINING HARD AND WIPERS WOULD NOT MOVE. NO PREVIOUS ISSUE WITH SYSTEM. NOTHING TO INDICATE A FAILURE WAS GOING TO OCCUR.
THE CHROME TRIM AROUND THE VENTS ABOVE THE CENTER NAVIGATION SCREEN DISPLAY ARE MADE OF A MIRROR FINISH CHROME UNLIKE THE MATTE TRIM THAT SURROUNDS THE NAVIGATION SCREEN. WHEN ONE IS DRIVING AND THE SUN IS APPROXIMATELY DIRECTLY OVERHEAD, THE SUN REFLECTS OFF THE CHROME TRIM AND DUE TO THE ANGLE OF THE TRIM, IS REFLECTS DIRECTLY INTO THE DRIVER'S EYES. AS ONE CANNOT REALLY CHANGE ANYTHING WHILE DRIVING DURING THIS PERIOD TO BLOCK THE REFLECTION THE DRIVER IS CONSTANTLY BEEN DISTRACTED WITH THE SUN REFLECTION OF THE MIRROR LIKE TRIM THAT IS SHINNING IN THE DRIVER'S EYES.
