“Electrical malfunction on my 2009 Chevrolet Suburban ltz. The car was purchased new from the dealer in nov 2009. Upon delivery, it was noted that the dash lights for function buttons did not illuminate and visor lamps were inoperable. Dealer assured us that they would fix the problem. The hazard occurs when the light completely go out on this vehicle while driving at night for no apparent reason. After four attempts to fix the problem and GM technical support has yielded no clear answers or assistance. I am concerned that my family will be injured in this vehicle.”
