THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. I GET A CHECK ENGINE COOLANT ERROR THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T DIAGNOSE. MY CAR SMELLS LIKE FUEL. SOMETIMES IT SMELLS FOUL COMING FROM THE AC. I GET A TIRE FLAT WARNING WHEN MY TIRES ARE JUST FINE. MY BRAKES WON'T STOP SQUEELING EVEN AFTER BUYING NEW ROTARS AND PADS. MY HEADLIGHTS SUFFERED FROM SOMETHING CALLED MAZING IN WHICH THE LIGHTS HAVE TINY LITTLE CRACKS IN THEM ALL OVER CAUSING NO WAY TO DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY AND THE LIGHTS COST $1200 FOR JUST ONE MEANING IT WOULD COST $2500 TO GET NEW LIGHTS PUT ON A USED CAR. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS. GM KNOWS WHAT THEY DID BUT DIDN'T CARE TO HELP ME ON THE HEADLIGHTS.

MY LOW BEAMS ON MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2008 CHEVY CORVETTE SUDDENLY TURN OFF ONCE THE CAR WARMS UP AFTER DRIVING A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR, THE LIGHTS TURN ON NORMALLY. BUT AS I DRIVE, THEY SUDDENLY TURN OFF.... I SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM HAPPENING ALOT IN VEHICLES LIKE MINE. *TR

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SPORADICALLY SHUT OFF WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT AND MAKES DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. *JS
