ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK HEADING HOME AND NOTICED THE ROAD LOOKED DARK. I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT AND REALIZED I HAD NO LOW BEAMS. MY BLINKERS, FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS ALL WORKED PROPERLY. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON, BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS. MY HEADLIGHTS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE INTERMITTENTLY WENT OUT OFF AND ON (APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES) OVER THE PAST YEAR. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK INTO IT THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. WHEN RESEARCHING WHAT COULD CAUSE BOTH LIGHTS TO FAIL AT THE SAME TIME, I CAME ACROSS THE LATEST RECALL INFO. I CALLED CHEVY AND GAVE THEM MY VIN AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. STRANGE, SINCE I HAVE ALL THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS LISTED IN THE RECALL AND MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY ALL OF THE OTHER RECALLS ON IT SO FAR. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WIPER PUMP (WATER) WENT OFF CONTINUOUSLY (ON THEIR OWN) AND WOULD NOT STOP. THE WATER SPRAYER KEPT SQUIRTING WATER AND THE WIPERS KEPT GOING NON STOP. NOTHING WE DID WOULD MAKE IT STOP. FINALLY HAD TO DISCONNECT THE WIPER CONTROL MODULE, JUST TO MAKE THE WIPERS AND WATER STREAMING STOP. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING-VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATING EMPTY AFTER A FILL UP ALTHOUGH ITS NOT... I HAD THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, I SPENT $900.00 (AT THE TIME) ON AN ACDELCO FUEL SENDING UNIT AND REPLACED THE PART... IT WORKED FOR SOMETIME, HOWEVER, HERE WE ARE TWO YEARS LATER AND ITS HAPPENING AGAIN...I DON'T HAVE $900.00 TO REPLACE THE PART AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY (LUCKILY IT WASN'T TO BUSY, BUT BUSY ENOUGH AT THE TIME OF 9:30AM IN THE MORNING ON A MONDAY) DOING ABOUT 55MPH, GIVE OR TAKE, AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF, THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT WOULD NOT START. LUCKILY FOR ME, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE COOPERATION OF A STATE TROOPER TO SIT WITH ME UNTIL SOMEONE COULD BRING ME GAS. SURE ENOUGH IT WAS A GAS ISSUE DUE TO THE SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP ONCE I PUT A FEW GALLONS IN THE TRUCK.. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IN 2014 MY WIFE RECEIVED 3 ERO'S FOR HEADLIGHT BEING OUT, EACH TIME I REPLACED THE BULB AND HAD THE ERO SIGNED OFF. IN THE FIRST OF THIS YEAR WE BECAME AWARE OF THE SAFETY RECALL THAT YOU HAD ISSUED FOR A HEADLIGHT MODULE PROBLEM. SOON THEREAFTER WE RECIEVED THE GM NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE RECALL. MY WIFE IMMEDIATELY MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL GM DEALER, HERTRIECH'S IN EASTON MD, THEY CALLED THE FOLLOWING DAY AND CANCELED THE APPOINTMENT ADVISING THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. SINCE THEN MY WIFE HAS BEEN STOPPED 3 MORE TIMES AND ISSUED WARNINGS, EVEN AFTER SHOWING THE OFFICERS THE RECALL LETTER. WE DECIDED TO DO A FOLLOW UP ON THE REPLACEMENT PART AND HERTRIECH HAS STATED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IS NOT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR UP TO A YEAR. IN THE MEANTIME THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE ARE AT RISK FOR INJURY OR EVEN DEATH IF THE OTHER HEADLIGHT DECIDES TO QUIT WHILE DRIVING ON DARK ROAD AT NIGHT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE FILED A PRIOR COMPLAINT AND THE NUMBER IS #10695487. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED SO TERRIBLE IN MY LIFE. THE PERSON ON THE PHONE TOLD ME TO EITHER TAKE IT TO A DEALER ( WITH NO HELP FROM GM TO CHECK IT) OR GET OVER IT AND HUNG UP. I AM STILL HAVING THE FUEL LEAKING AND WITH NO HELP FROM GM I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIX IT. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED BECAUSE IN MY MIND IT IS A DEFECT ON GM PART AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO OWN UP TO IT. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER DARK. AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH, MY HEADLIGHTS JUST COMPLETELY WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER CAREFULLY PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I REALIZED MY HIGH BEAMS WERE STILL WORKING. I LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE AND REALIZED IT WAS A RELAY 45 AND 46 ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY I REPLACED THIS RELAY AND MY LIGHTS WORKED. FOR A DAY. NOW IT'S BEEN ALMOST A MONTH, AND I CAN'T DRIVE AFTER DARK. I'VE ASKED MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THIS AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL BUT YET THEY DON'T HAVE A RESOLUTION. BEING I WORK UNTIL THE SUN GOES DOWN, AND I HAVE AN HOUR DRIVE HOME FROM WORK 5-6 DAYS A WEEK, THIS PRESENTS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME. IF THIS WERE A SIMPLE WINDOW SWITCH RECALL (WHICH I'VE ALREADY HAD REPLACED) I WOULD BE OK WITH IT FOR NOW. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS A LIGHTING ISSUE WHICH CAN BE AND IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. I NEED THIS ISSUE RESOLVED IMMIDIATLY AND IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX IT, I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD BE EXPECTED TO. *TR
