“I was driving at dark hours with headlights on and lights just went out. Turned on bright lights and the lights worked. Turned back to dim and lights worked for about half a mile.lights went out again turned on brights and same thing as before the lights worked. I thought I seen somewhere a recall was issued for this problem. I guess I didnt.”
NHTSA complaint #11044743, filed 2017-11, 122,000 miles“Lowbeam headlights suddenly quit while driving causing me to almost run off road. This is directly related to the GM recall #14291 concerning the sudden failure of the hdm without any warning. The recall not cover my 2008 Pontiac at this time. Was told under investigation . This needs to be immediately addressed by GM or federal government since it is a deadly matter. Sudden loss of lights at higher speeds will cause deaths.”
