Headlights Turn Off While Driving Problems of Chevrolet Aveo

I made a report more than a week ago. The headlights sporadically turn off without warning. I was driving at night and both headlamps went out. I have to do night driving with the illumination of hazard lights only. Unsafe!!! this site claimed I would be contacted 72 hrs. After I made the first report. Well, I'm still waiting. I am still without headlights. Periodically, there was electrical (ozone) smells. Since the lights are out, this is noticed less, but I have smelt it on a few occasions.

The key comes out of the ignition even while the car is running and driving. I drove the car and thought I turned it off all the way - turns out there was another 'click' to turn the engine completely off. Engine also clicks after being turned off. Headlights went out, replaced bulbs only to realize the connectors were melted, bulbs being blown are not the cause of this issue. After doing research into the problem I came across recalls for this year, make model I came across a recall from 2014 (documents on this site) that said all 2008 chevy Aveo's were affected. I purchased the car from a used car dealership in may, 2014 - I don't believe this car should have been sold given the issues and recall notices out at the time. I only found out this week (sept 2016) about the issues. However when calling gm and a chevy dealership I was told there are no open recalls on this vehicle even though the issue can cause fires. This is a problem! the car goes into bryner Chevrolet tomorrow sept 29, 2016 for a service appointment.

I notice that my left head light when out. I replace the bulb with a high price bulb but headlight was very dim. I then notice that my headlights went out all together and no high beams, but my high beam light indicator on my dashboard is on. Also I my radio display will go in and out sometimes.
