Head lights are not bright enough and pose a very significant danger. Dealer says that it is standard.I have complained on 2 warranty service visits including today.
Vehicle, traveling 45mph in traffic stream on highway, suddenly lost all power, including engine, radio, ac fan, and dashboard lights. After coasting to roadside, still moving, radio, ac fan and dashboard lights suddenly self restored. After stopping, transmission put in park, start button pushed, engine started, everything back to normal.
(Please see included picture) both headlights show what appear to be fine cracks on the inside of the lenses kind of like a starburst appearance. This starburst is affecting the headlight beam and making it harder to see while distracting oncoming traffic. General motors has a tsb#02-08-42-001i that identifies the known manufacturer inconsistency. It is obviously a known fault.

recall by general motors. They should replace the lenses with a stronger more reliable product. The most dangerous part is the issue may not be readily known by the consumer due to the cracks not being easily seen unless the sunlight reflects a certain way through the lenses. As seen in the picture, there are many fine cracks refracting the light. It is a major concern knowing tens of thousands of vehicles are on the road with these kinds of lenses.

1st time with only 3800 miles. I brought my concerns about lights to attention of service manager and he seemed offended or put off by my concerns. I told him I wanted documentation of my concerns because when accidents start happening because of these poor lights I wanted to be part of a class action lawsuit against gm if they are found at fault. He told me they were able to raise the line of sight about 6 inches. That night I tested the light. No noticeable changes. I guess I will have to drive with my high beams on and risk a ticket. Great car otherwise but very disappointed in headlights.
As soon as I bought this new car I was driving it at night with my dim head lights on and I could not see very far ahead of me unless I put my bright lights on, so this needs to be fixed or an accident can occur very easily !!!!
Car would not start. Battery totally dead. Could not even get the key out of the ignition. Aaa came and jumped battery, found no cause or reason for the problem. Car is used every day; this problem was found in the morning after sitting in the garage all night. No sign of anything left on or anything causing the dead battery.
