2012 Chevrolet Silverado Lighting Problems

BOTH HEAD LIGHTS RANDOMLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY, HIGHWAY, COUNTRY ROAD, TURNING, REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER. . SOMETIMES ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT OTHER TIMES BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME. YELLOW FOG LIGHTS STAY ON . BRIGHT LIGHTS WILL WORK AND TURN ON. I HAVE TO PULL OVER EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS, OPEN THE HOOD OF MY TRUCK AND MOVE THE WIRES AROUNF THAT ATTACHES TO THE HEADLIGHT THAT WENT OUT. IT WILL WORK MOMENTARILY AND THEN GO OUT AGAIN. THIS IS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. FROM NOVEMBER UNTIL CURRENT. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT GOING OUT AND NOW BOTH GO OUT. THE LIGHTS GO OUT AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND IT BLINKS ON AND OFF EVERY TIME THE CAR IS TURN ON IN MOTION AND AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL IT'S PARK

THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS CONSTANTLY GOES OUT. I HAVE TO SHAKE OR WIGGLE THEM TO GET THEM TO WORK SOMETIMES. FINALLY, THEY WILL STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER AFTER A FEW DAYS. THE LIGHTS MOST OF THE TIME WILL NOT COME ON AFTER THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF AND I START IT UP AND THE LIGHTS WILL NOT COME BACK ON.

I WAS PULLED OVER TWICE WITH IN 30 MINS FOR HAVING A MY RIGHT PASSENGER HEADLIGHT OUT. I'VE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT, CHECKED FUSES, RELAY AND TESTED THE SOCKET POWER AND ALL WERE FINE

WORKING IN THE YARD, I NOTICED OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE THAT THERE APPEARED TO BE MOISTURE IN MY PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT. AN INSPECTION OF THE TAILLIGHT SHOWED MULTIPLE FRACTURES IN THE HOUSING ACROSS THE REAR PORTION. THESE FRACTURES ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE UNIT. A FRACTURE ROUGHLY A QUARTER INCH UP LIMITS THE WATER ACCUMULATION. I THEN CHECKED THE DRIVER'S SIDE UNIT & NOTICED THE SAME FAILURE IS STARTING. AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY I HAD JUST OVER 1000 ENGINE HOURS ON THE VEHICLE AND JUST OVER 126K MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW & I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE ROUGHLY 38.5 MONTHS. BULBS HAVE A GREATER LIFE EXPECTANCY THAN THE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY DESIGNED TO PROTECT THEM AND PROMOTE SAFETY. THE DEALER SAYS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ASSEMBLIES ARE MY ISSUE. THESE ITEMS ARE REQUIRED BY STATE AND FEDERAL LAW TO MEET CERTAIN STANDARDS. DEPENDING ON FRACTURE PLACEMENT THE BULBS MAY SHORT OUT OR FAIL DUE TO CORROSION. FAILURE OF THE ASSEMBLY CAN LEAD TO SOMEONE MISSING A TURN SIGNAL, A STOP OR NOTICE THAT YOU ARE BACKING UP. I BELIEVE THESE FAILURES INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT. BASED PRIOR EXPERIENCES WITH OTHER VEHICLES I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I'M THEORIZING THAT BECAUSE THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE CATCHES THE EVENING SUN IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THESE WERE DESIGNED USING CHEAPER MATERIALS THAT POTENTIALLY DID NOT PROVIDE FOR THE ABILITY TO HOLDUP TO THE UV RAYS OF NATURAL SUNLIGHT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THIRD LIGHT ON THE CAB RECEIVED MORE SHADE DUE TO A NEIGHBOR'S TREE THAT WAS REMOVED LAST YEAR SO THE SUN IMPACT WOULD BE LESS. I NOTICE THERE IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT FOR THIS MODEL YEAR ABOUT A CAB PLACED REAR LIGHT ASSEMBLY ECHOING THE SAME ISSUE.

WITHOUT ANY IMPACT OR DAMAGE THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT HAS CRACKED AND THE DEALER WON'T WARRANTY. *TR
