| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving headlights dim very low to the point that you can not see. doesn't happen every time. dashboard lights also go very low. vehicle taken in to dealership in april. tech says can not duplicate problem. car taken in again this time cd player will stop playing if volume is turned all the way down for more that 2 mins. in order to make it play again you have to eject cd and reinsert. radio was suppose to be ordered never received it. car taken in again this time different dealership found problem with radio and it was replaced asked for them to check headlights because problem still happens. they also cannot duplicate problem. after leaving dealership cd players stops play again. sept 28, 2005 while at bank drive through car stalls out, able to restart car. took vehicle to dealership told them about the stalling out, headlights, and cd player. after having my car there a week and 3 days there conclusion was that the stalling out was because the was carbon build up in throttle body this was cleaned out. my car has 19,000 miles and is a year old i don;t believe this is the problem. while there a new cd player was put in, i was told that the one that was replaced before was a refurbished one and it didn't surprise them that it didn't work. the headlights we were told that we were crazy at first and then after speaking with the service manager was told that my vehicle has california emissions which means we have a 2nd air intake on it that causes the alternator to drain causing the lights to dim. gm has told us this is normal!!!!!! i am sorry i am not willing to put my family lives on the line because i happen to buy a new car in virginia that was made in california. i leave in a rural area not the city so if i lose my headlights then that means i can't see. this doesn't mean anything to them. we do have a meeting in nov with the northern area manager. this is not a normal operation of a car nor should it be designed to do this. *nm |
