2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2010

Headlights side marker cover came off on both headlamps not at the same time short time after the first one then the right side came off causes glare. Power locks do not function any more with buttons only function with gear shifter sometimes locks will go lock to unlock by themselves multiple times with or with not driving the car. Contacted gm and they informed me that the headlights are not recalled on my year but they are for the 2005's. Obviously they did not fix the problem from then. I will not by another gm product ever.
