I WAS DRIVING TO CHURCH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, IT WAS RAINING AND DARK SUDDENLY, MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT. I STOPPED AND TURN THE HIGH BEAM ON AND WHEN I TURN THE HIGH BEAM OFF AFTER 2 OR 3 MINUTES THE LOW BEAM CAME BACK ON. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON MY WAY FROM WORK, DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AND THEY JUST WENT OFF. I PULL OVER AND TURN THE HIGH BEAM ON AND OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEY CAME BACK ON. REALLY AFRAID NOW TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I USED THIS VEHICLE FOR TRAVELING ON VACATIONS, NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS UNTIL NOW.

Mileage: 143,654

THE CAR WAS ON A RECALL BACK IN 2016. LETTER TOLD ME TO WAIT BECAUSE THE PART WAS BEING MADE AND WHEN IT BECAME AVAILABLE I WOULD BE NOTIFIED TO TAKE IT TO A GMC DEALER TO HAVE IT INSTALLED FREE OF CHARGE. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD AND DASH LIGHTS WOULD DIM, GET BRIGHT OR GO OFF COMPLETELY JUST PRIOR TO THE PART BECOMING AVAILABLE. I TOOK IT IN ON JAN 12, 2017 TO HAVE THE RECALLED PART REPLACED. ON DEC 16, 2017 I HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC ($90.00). I CALLED GMC IN JAN 2018 AND TALKED WITH A SERVICE REPRESENATIVE AND HE REFUSED TO HELP ME IN ANY WAY. TOLD ME MY CAR IS 12 YEARS OLD (71,807 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY) AND I WAS ON MY OWN. EVEN ME EXPLAINING TO HIM THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DOING THE SAME PROBLEM BEFORE THE HDM MODULE WAS REPLACED ON THE RECALL. THAT WENT IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER. HE BASICALLY TOLD ME TO HAVE A GOOD REST OF THE DAY. I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM AND DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT, SO I AM STRANDED IN DOING EVENING GATHERINGS OR FESTIVITIES WITH FAMILY OR FRIENDS. IT WOULDN'T BE UNUSUAL FOR THE PART THEY REPLACED TO BECOME FAULTY SINCE THEY JUST HAD IT MADE FOR THE RECALL. THOUGH HE REALLY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT MY ISSUE AT ALL. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND HEADLIGHTS ARE ON WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-75 AT 10:30PM MY HEADLIGHTS JUST RANDOMLY WENT OFF! I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND I WAS IN AN AREA THAT HAD NO LIGHTS ALONGSIDE THE ROAD. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES TO ATTEMPT TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER I SLOWED ENOUGH TO MOVE OVER, MY HEADLIGHTS WENT BACK ON. I WAS SO SHOOK UP, I'M NOT SURE IF MY REAR LIGHTS WENT OFF AS WELL. THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS PAST WEEKEND AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ACTUALLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RE-START MY CAR TWICE BEFORE MY LIGHTS WENT BACK ON.TODAY, ON MY WAY TO WORK, IN THE DARK, JUST BEFORE I WAS PULLING INTO OUR PARKING LOT, THEY WENT OFF AGAIN. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I PRESS ON THE AUTOMATIC WINDOW BUTTONS, MY LIGHTS DIM AND THEN BRIGHTEN. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE DASH LIGHT FOR THE GAS CAP TURNS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR.

WHILE SERVICING MY VEHICLE AT AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP, I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECENT RECALL REGARDING HEADLAMPS WHICH GET HOT AND CAN FAIL. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 8 MONTHS SINCE THAT RECALL WAS ISSUED, AND YET THERE REMAINS NO IDENTIFIABLE REMEDY OR SOLUTION AS TO HOW THEY WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND REPAIR / REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS.. ENTITLED TO SAFE VEHICLES, I AM UNSURE AS TO HOW OR WHY GM WOULD BELIEVE THAT 8 MONTHS TO NOT EVEN HAVE ANNOUNCED A SOLUTION IS AN ABSURDITY. AT THIS POINT, THE PERIOD OF TIME IN WHICH THE MANUFACTURER HAS HAD TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A SOLUTION IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE AS A CONSUMER. I AM UNDER THE BELIEF THAT THEIR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS SIMPLE, THEY ARE GOING LET THE VEHICLES AGE A FEW MORE YEARS AND HOPE BY THAT TIME, ADDITIONAL VEHICLES REQUIRING REPAIR WILL NO LONGER BE ON THE ROAD AND THE ISSUE WILL MAGICALLY GO AWAY. AS OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE, I AM ENTITLED TO THE REMEDY AS PROMISED UNDER RECALL GM 14291, AND I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR MANUFACTURERS TO SIT ON OPEN RECALLS FOR VEHICLES CURRENTLY ON OUR ROADWAYS WHICH HAVE BEEN ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED AS HAVING A SAFETY DEFECT IN NEED OF DEFECT REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR.

SOMETIME THE LIGHTS DOESN'T COME ON WHEN I PUT THEM ON. I REALLY HAVE SOME WEIRD THINGS GO ON WITH MY VEHICLE. I DID GET THE MODULE CHANGED AND THEY DID SOME RE-WIRING IN THE DOOR. ONE YEAR BEFORE THE MODULE, I GOT THEM TO CHECK MY CAR FOR A SHORT AND I WAS TOLD FROM THEM THAT MY WIRES WERE OVER HEATED. I PAID ABOUT $900 TO FIX IT. I STRONGLY THINK IT IS A DETECT SOME WHERES OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD CAUSE MY WIRES TO OVER HEAT. *TR

I TRIED TURNING THE TRUCK ON AND OFF TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COME BACK ON BUT THEY DIDN'T. AFTER SITTING THERE WITH THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, I STARTED IT BACK UP AND THEY CAME ON. I HAD TO TURN AROUND AND GO BACK HOME IN FEAR THAT I COULDN'T FINISH MY TRIP BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF MY LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. SINCE THIS FIRST INCIDENT, MY LIGHT GO OUT ON A DAILY BASIS AND AT RANDOM. THEY HAVE GONE OUT WHILE MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN PARK AS WELL AS WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING.

PURCHASED A 2006 GMC ENVOY. THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS PROJECT A BEAM OF LIGHT STRAIGHT UP FROM EACH LIGHT INTO THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS FIELD OF VIEW. IT IS NOT NOTICEABLE DURING DRY CONDITIONS, BUT WHEN THERE IS MIST, SNOW OR FOG IT IS VERY VISIBLE AND DISTRACTING. YOU CAN SEE THIS EFFECT BY PARKING NEXT TO A BUILDING OR PARKING IN YOUR GARAGE. IT LIGHTS UP THE CEILING IN THE GARAGE VERY NICE. I THOUGHT HEADLIGHT WERE TO PROJECT OUT, NOT UP. IN DRY CONDITIONS, THE TREES ARE LIT UP BY THE BRIGHT LIGHTS. MY DEALER CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD TO CHECK ANOTHER TRUCK, WHICH DID THE SAME THING. GM THEN SAID THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM. THIS IS MY 3RD NEW GMC TRUCK, AND NONE OF THE OTHERS DID THIS. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE THAT HAS DONE THIS. *JB
