IT STARTED WHEN DRIVING ALONG AND THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OUT, THE ONLY WAY I HAD ANY LIGHTS AT ALL IS ON HIGH BEAM, AND I WOULD CLICK BACK ON LOW BEAM AFTER I PULLED OVER AND THE LOW LIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND NOW I HAVE NO LOW BEAM LIGHTS AT ALL ONLY HIGH BEAM. I HAVE CALLED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT HAS FIXED THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES BECAUSE THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM HAS GONE OUT OF BUSINESS. AND THEY SAID IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL COST BE APPROXIMATELY $400-$700 WHICH I DO NOT HAVE AND I ALSO SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE FOR THE SAME THING. SO TELL ME WHY ISN'T THEIR A RECALL. THIS CAR IS ABSOLUTELY A HAZARD TO HAVE ON THE ROADS. SHE HAS ALMOST GOTTEN ME & MY FAMILY KILLED SEVERAL TIMES, FROM LOSING POWER TO THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT ON VERY DARK ROADS I HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER TO GM BEFORE, I GUESS THEY WONT DO ANYTHING UNTIL SOMEONE OR THEIR FAMILY IS KILLED. *TR
