EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

STRUCTURE:BODY, AIR BAGS
TRAPPED INSIDE OF 2006 LACROSSE WITH A DOOR LOCK THAT WOULD NOT OPEN. DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM NOR FIX IT. GM EXECUTIVE OFFICES CLAIM THE DOOR LOCK IS A WEAR ITEM. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A DOOR LOCK TO TRAP A PERSON INSIDE A CAR THAT HAS 83,000 MILES AND 9 YEARS OLD. ENOUGH SUCH OCCURRENCES ARE DISCUSSED ON VARIOUS SITES ON THE INTERNET. THIS COMBINED WITH A FAULTY PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR AND EXECUTIVE MANAGAMENT'S LACK OF CONCERN IS ENOUGH TO STAY AWAY FROM ALL GM PRODUCTS.
