I BOUGHT A 06 CHEVY (GM) EXPRESS VAN FROM FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AND LEAVE THE FAMILY OF 9 IN THE DARK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE SINCE GM KNOWS THE SITUATION FOR ALL VEHICLES IN 10 THOUSAND+ OCCURRING BETWEEN 2003-2009 AND I HAVE MET HUNDREDS WHO EXPERIENCE THIS FRIGHTENING DILEMMA. THE HEADLIGHT LOSS IS SERIOUS OCCURRING UNEXPECTEDLY IN NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY LIGHTS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO A NUMBER OF DEALERS WHO SHOULD KNOW HOW TO FIX BUT DO NOT. ALSO BROUGHT TO A NUMBER OF INDEPENDENTS IN SEARCH OF FIXING THE FAILING HEADLIGHTS TO NO AVAIL(INCLUDE THE FACT THAT I CONTINUE TO SEARCH AND PAY FOR NO SOLUTIONS ON A VEHICLE
