While driving low beam lights shut off while driving at night. Will not come on now! This is a very dangerous situation for safety reasons. I am 73 years old and afraid to drive at night and also daytime with no daytime running lights. Please advise if there is a recall or solution so I can have dealer get it fixed. Loyal chevrolet customer for 50 years that needs desperate help. Thank you! ## VIN passed ## chevy trailblazer lt2 2008 ##
