What owners wrote

A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.

Low beam headlights failed during driving at night nearly causing a serious accident. Many lives could be affected because of this well known design issue not being addressed by GMC. There is a GMC recall for this same problem, but my vehicle isn't included. GMC needs to re-evaluate this issue and include more vehicles. They know the problem exists and should make efforts to include all affected vehicles.
