Complaint Summary
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Owner Narrative
PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS ON 2015 SIERRA IS VERY DIM COMPARED TO OTHER VEHICLES. TRIED ADJUSTING BUT DID NOT HELP. VERY POOR VISIBILITY IN UNLIT DARK ROADS AND STREETS AND POSES RISK. I TRIED BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I MENTIONED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS INCLUDING A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE THAT WAS FILED IN CALIFORNIA IN OCTOBER 2015. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE NO OTHER ALTERNATIVES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PURCHASING AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHTS. I WOULD LIKE GMC TO FIX THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THEY DID AS THEY CHANGED THE 2016 MODELS' HEADLAMPS AND INCORPORATED HIGHER LUMENS ON LIGHTING, WHY CHANGE IT IF IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE? IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE PEDESTRIANS AND OBJECTS AT NIGHT.
