NHTSA complaint #11180441, filed 2019-02, 87,848 miles“I purchased my vehicle a year ago. A little over a month ago I noticed that driving at night is dangerous. It used to light the roadway great, now I can hardly see 2 cars ahead of me. And on the sides everything is dark. I made numerous trips to dealership who insists it is working ok and nothing is wrong. They refuse deal with my car. I also contacted GM on this. Also I brought it to dealerships attention that the lights go dim when starting. Inside and out. I truly believe this is a safety issue. I'm not alone I have read numerous reports on people having the same problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #11092113, filed 2018-05, 53,000 miles“Front turn indicator lights have gone out. Unfortunately, due to Chevy's vehicle design, the bulbs can only be replaced by pulling the bumper off in total and replacing bulbs. Then, putting entire bumper system back. This information was given to me by Chevrolet of Issaquah AND confirmed by Bonita Point Repair in Chula Vista California.”
