LaCrosse 6-cyl

  • 82,000 miles
This is the second time in one year that my headlight on the drivers side has went out. I just replaced it about 8 months ago. I know this because I was pulled over by the police. I do not drive my vehicle very much. 82000 miles and it is 10 years old. I know there has been a recall on a part for the very same reason I am notifying you. I need this fixed. These headlamps are expensive and this is unsafe to drive without proper lighting. Please advise on this matter. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
