My husband had had a blood transfusion at the hospital and it was after when we started to leave, I went to the parking lot and got the car to pick him up. It was after dark and my lights would not come on when I tried to turn them as I usually did after dark. I drove to the er discharge door with no lights. While being assisted by a young man also there, we found we could not use anything but high beams. To me, this is dangerous, but we do not use the car much at night, we have dealt with it so far, but hate using it this way. I have seen that other people, online, have the same problem.

I was driving on the highway at night and the low beam lights went out. This was a terrifying experience as I was on a major city expressway. Shortly after this incident the lower beam lights were operable. I am concerned that this will happen again.

It does this intermittently since and it's a major problem I have children in my vehicle and it's very dangerous.

I had to be to work by 6:00 am on the date of the incident. I entered my vehicle at 5:30 to leave and discovered upon ignition that the low beam headlamps were out of service. After checking the fuses under the hood and finding no issues, I was forced to make my 20 minute/9 mile drive using the high beams for visibility (with no daylight). The low beam headlamps remain out of service. (note: Low beam bulbs were replaced approximately two months ago).

- Mansfield, OH, USA

Our headlights/daytime running lights just quit working as we were driving. We were able to safely pull over and use the high beams. This has been an issue for over a year now. Sometimes the regular headlights work and sometimes they don't. all other lights work fine so we have been intermittently driving with just high beams only. We were excited to find out that this issue has been recalled on our make and model and year until we later found out that our VIN number was not affected. I find his is very strange!!! it sure seems like it was affected to me!!! I called GM recall help line and there is apparently nothing I can do about this. I would think safety would be a concern for your customers. I would also think you would like to know if other vehicles were affected. I would like further research on additional vehicles as it is obvious that other vehicles have been affected. Please follow up with me regarding this issue.
