EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I NOTICED THAT MY DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. I PURCHASED A NEW ONE BUT UPON INSTALLATION, I NOTICED THAT THE OLD ONE DID NOT VISUALLY APPEAR TO BE BAD. I REPLACED IT ANYWAY. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SAME ONE WAS OUT AGAIN. I CHECKED IT FOR CONNECTION PROBLEMS ETC AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT WAS OUT AGAIN. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO, I WAS UNLOCKING MY DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB WHILE PARKED IN FRONT OF MY GARAGE DOOR AND NOTICED ON THE GARAGE DOOR THAT BOTH LIGHTS WERE WORKING; HOWEVER, WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR IT WENT OFF AND STAYED OFF UNTIL I UNLOCKED THE DOOR WITH THE FOB AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS THAT CONTROL POWER STEERING WEAKEN WHEN SWITCHING GEARS. POWER STEERING CAUSES LIGHTS TO DIM IN CAR AND HEADLAMPS OUTSIDE OF CAR AT NIGHT AND DURING THE DAY. LIGHTING FAILS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CAUSING RIGHT TURN SIGNAL TO MALFUNCTION AND ENTIRE ASSEMBLY TO APPEAR DIM AND NOT AT ALL WHEN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED. THIS OCCURS AT ALL TIMES OF VEHICLE USE: STATIONARY, CITY DRIVING, AND HIGHWAY DRIVING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE HAS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING FUEL PUMP FAILURE, INCLUDING LEAKAGE WHICH PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT FIRE HAZARD. THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE HAS A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT GENERAL MOTORS DENIED THE REPAIR TO MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE VIN NUMBER. THEY CLAIM THAT THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL DUE TO THE ACTUAL VIN NUMBER. HAVING SUFFERED A FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING LEAKAGE AND THEREFORE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD, I PAID TO HAVE THE REPAIRS COMPLETED AT A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THIS REPAIR COST ME $881.46. CLEARLY, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO GENERAL MOTORS. THIS SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURE.
