Wiring problems of the 2011 Buick Regal

My car has been blowing light bulbs very frequently. I noticed that the wire what is chard and burned and naked resulting in the wires touching each other and causing my lights to fail. I replace the wiring harness once and two months later the insulation was burnt off of the wire again. There has been 2 instances where ive been driving and my headlights have went completely out at night time and I live in a rural area where there's not a lot of street lights. It almost caused me to wreck. It's not just my vehicle that has this issue. I have three friends who either drive a Regal themselves or have a close family member that has one and all three of them have told me that they're experiencing the same issues. This is definitely a safety concern. And if it were to happen to somebody else who was maybe not so lucky it could have caused a fatal accident.

In August 2016, I received an "important safety recall" #30710 from Buick. The explanation was "the wiring harness for the power seats may contact the seat frame, chafe, a short circuit could occur, resulting in inoperative power seat adjustments, flickering lights on the instrument panel, sparking or smoke under the seat, and possible fire. " having not heard anything, I contacted my agency on 9/22/16 and was told "no parts were available. " on 11/23/16, burns Buick said, "gm has no solution. I contacted gm and spoke with mary who did not have an answer. On 11/30/16, gm's ben suggested that no date or supplies have been set. Do I need to have a fire in my car while my grandchildren are in the back seat for gm to finally determine this is really an "important safety recall?" why should it take 5 months without any solution? I ride in fear everyday knowing that I am sitting on a time bomb. Please condemn this failure to provide solutions to this problem and fine them so that they do not do it to anyone else in the future.
