THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE OR AFTER THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OURISMAN CHEVROLET OF BOWIE (16610 GOVERNOR BRIDGE RD, BOWIE, MD) WHERE IT WAS CURRENTLY AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE WIRES LOOK LIKE THEY CAUGHT FIRE. THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT IS ALWAY UNBUCKLING WHILE DRIVING.
I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY HEADLIGHTS 5 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2010. THIS TIME WHEN I CHANGED THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE THE HARNESS WAS BURNT AND MELTED.
LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT WENT DIM AT NIGHT . REPLACED THE BULB BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM . WHEN CHECKING THE WIRE TO THE BULB NOTICED BURN MARKS . FRONT HEAD LIGHT HAS WENT DIM BEFORE BUT THE SUDDENLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN A WHILE BACK . *TR
HEADLAMP RIGHT NOT WORKING. BULB REPLACED. HIGH BEAMS ARE WORKING. RELAY SWITCHES ARE WORKING 10 AMP AND 15AMP FUSES ARE NOT BLOWN. NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLES ARE COVERED BY DEALERSHIP. *JS
THE DASH LIGHTS, SHIFTER LIGHTS AND ALL CONSOLE LIGHTS ARE OUT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM AS I HAVE FOUND IT ALL OVER THE CHEVY FORUM. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS? NOT REAL SAFE ESPECIALLY FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE FIX AND IF THERE IS A RECALL I CAN APPLY TO THIS NOT SO UNIQUE PROBLEM *JS
