I had storm damage to my vehicle and needed the front headlight replaced. This was a insurance claim and it went to a local body shop as well as a GM Dealership trying to fix the problem. My vehicle is equipped with Adaptive Forwarding Headlights that turn with my steering wheel. Once my headlight was replaced this feature cannot work again. This feature is what holds my headlights in alignment with a module behind the headlight. GM is aware of this issue, and they cannot fix it. Now I have headlights that...

will not stay in place. The GM dealership said it cannot set my headlights the proper way due to the feature not working now. GM owned the issue; told us their engineers are working to find a fix however it has been years and every Enclave that needs a new headlight loses the feature they can't fix. I bought this car for the adaptive headlight feature to help me see at night and now I'm stuck with a vehicle I don't even want because GM can't fix their own product. It is not fair, and I can't see at night at all now due to my headlight pointing at the ground. Safety is a huge issue. GM needs to recall and fix their Enclaves or any other vehicles they make that have Adaptive Forward Assistant Headlights.

Battery has been replaced twice in 20 months due to failure of charging system to recharge battery. Turn signals do not work properly or at all. Dealer says battery is "defective". Low engine rpm to increase fuel mileage and automatic illumination of driving lights end up to battery being in a constant discharge state leading to failure. Signal lights will slow down or stop altogether while sitting at a stop light. The vehicle has left me stranded several time because it will not restart - there is no warning...

that failure is imminent. Poor design in one safety feature leads to a failure of another safety feature and eventually to failure of the vehicle altogether. There is no volt meter and no warning lights are ever illuminated.
