The headlights just stopped working. It is not the bulb as the lights come on when I lock or unlock the car using the fob. I was driving down the road and the headlights just stopped working, this was in the middle of the night with no street lights. I just had the car in the shop two months ago for the same problem. There has to be an issue with the car and the headlights. I love this car but I can't drive at night as I have no lights and can't keep taking it to the shop and paying out money every couple of months to fix the same problem.

Failure of stepper motors in instrument cluster.

My headlights would not come on or would go off intermittently while driving . I had to drive with the high beams on.

Started out as a headlamp that we thought was burned out. Replaced the bulb and it worked for a day or two. Next the gas gauge, speedometer, heat and cooling gauge and now both headlamps do not work. My husband has to drive in the dark with brights on because there are absolutely no headlights . This is a serious safety issue and gm should be issuing a recall. This is extremely dangerous and we cannot drive our vehicle at night unless we use our brights the whole time which then becomes a safety issue to other drivers. This is as serious as seat belts failing or windshield wipers out of whack. Please respond to this with quick and serious measures. *Tr

Originally when the issue happened at random times with the speedometer readingin inaccurately. Now it has fallen to the 6 o'clock position and never moves from that position. I have never had it repaired was told by dealers that the part was the instrument cluster and it would need to be replaced. Issue started at around 86000 miles (random readings) around 91000 speedometer (fallen to 6 o' clock position. *Tr
