Headlights Problems of Chevrolet S10

My complaint does not concern my vehicle. It is the intensity of newer headlights and taillights on late model vehicles. It is very difficult to drive with extremely bright lights shining from all directions. Instead of lighting area the newer lights seem to be a focused beam that is blinding.

On the 1997 chevy s-10 the headlight wiring is not heavy enough to carry enough current to the headlights making them dim and very poor visibility. Please recall and fix to make better visibility.

1) the head lights on my 1996 Chevrolet S10 have never worked right. At first, when I turned on the igh beams, they would stay on for less than a minute, then I would lose the dashboard lights and the daytime running lights would come on. This situation is getting steadily worse. Now the low beams are exhibiting the same problem. 2) the headlights don't work, meaning that I can't drive it at night or when it rains. State law requires that the headlights be on when you use the windshield wipers. 3) I have spent thousands trying to get this problem corrected, but the service personnel just take the money and never solve the problem.

Headlights turn off intermittently while driving. Lights remain off for a few seconds and then come back on.

The consumers vehicle is equipped with a 2 headlamp system. After aligning the drivers side lower beam headlamp, the upper beam headlamp (which does not contain a separate aiming mechanism) appears to be aimed lower than the lower beam. The consumer states that this condition significantly limits the drivers visibility when using upper beam. The consumer has taken the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the headlamp was not repairable. The dealer also demonstrated a similar anamoly in the drivers side headlamp on another 2003 S10 that it had on the dealer lot.

Consumer took car in for inspection. When driving home headlights went completely out. Took to dealer, and they said it was a bad switch. The head lights were inoperative due to flash board switch failure. Final diagnosis resulted in replacement of ground relay module failure.

While driving with the headlights on the headlights would periodically turn off without prior warning. While headlights were off, running lights inside the vehicle were still on. Dealer replaced light switch, but the problem still occurs. Defect allows poor or no visibility.

Headlights flicker on and off. Contacted dealer.

Headlights/drl failed. Cannot turn on manually using switch. Fuses ok. All other lighting systems working. Vehicle just eclipsed factory warranty, so will be out of my pocket. Had no choice in buying this automatic headlight system and now am stuck with costly repair.

Daytime running lights do not work. I've had it back to 2 different dealers twice and called Chevrolet in detroit twice. They fixed it once and it lasted from 10/26/99 to 11/04/99. When I brought it back they said. . . "no repair available at this time. " detroit gave me the same bull and said they would call me when a repair was available. That was on 11/29/99 and I called again on 03/02/99 and was again told to wait for a call. I took it back to the original dealer on 06/01/2000 and they said they couldn't fix it. They said they could turn the daytime running lights on with the hand held computer and they worked but the truck computer was programmed to turn them off. I ask to simply reprogram the computer but they said they couldn't do that and that I should wait for a repair notice from detroit. I'll be 55 yrs old in oct. And I'm afraid I don't have enough years left in my lifetime to get that repair call from gm. I plan on living to be pretty old too! I have copies of all the documentation from the dealers and the file # from detroit. #990 586 342 can you help me please? I think the daytime running lights are important and should work. Gm doesn't really seem to give two hoots. The truck will be out of warrenty pretty soon and then I'll really never be able to get it fixed. Thanks for listening!ally.

I have been having this problem off and on for the last 40000 miles, the dealer claims not to be able to locate anything wrong with the vehicle.

No summary.

No summary listed for this vehicle. ( dot number: tire size: p23575r15 ).

Headlights briefly went out for no reason - complete darkness - very dangerous could easily cause a crash - Chevrolet said it would cost 85 dollars to replace and that I would have to pay for it. . . . .

Headlights and dash lights will turn on and off intermittently, causing poor visibility. The head light switch has been replaced, and problem has not reoccurred since.

Headlight effectiveness is extremely poor on both high and low beams. Checked voltage to lamps: solid 14. 2v under all conditions. Contacted dealer and reviewed problem w. Service manager. Unable to recommend a solution and there is no factory recall on record. (have checked back several time since; still nothing from gm). Replaced both headlamps with napa after-market units at about 10,000 miles; this change resulting in minor improvement, due mostly, I think, to wider beam spread, but over all performance is still the worst I have ever had on a vehicle (including my 6-volt 1934 Plymouth with no voltage regulator), and I have owned a lot of old vehicles with marginal lights.

While driving headlights will spontaneously cut off and stay off fof a couple of seconds to a couple of minutes. When light switch gets warm contact is open and lights fail until switch cools slighty.

While driving the left headlight goes out without warning. Sometimes it comes back on. Dealer fixed problem.

Headlights dim without warning. On 2 occasions the headlights dimmed and failed. This reduces driver's visibility. As a result, the consumer drove off the road and went into a ditch. Also, upon depressing accelerator pedal automatic transmission dropped into first gear abruptly.

While driving headlights flicker, less than a second. Then, they have gone completely out. Dealer stated it was normal.

Intermittently when decelerating headlights will flash on and off. Dealer and manufacturer have been notified.

I was trained by the wy state patrol, as a former traffic counter. They advised at night when ever I running into wildlife on the road, shut off headlights, put car in n, let off the gas and hold vehicle steady while coast through the wildlife. By shutting the headlights off, wildlife [deer, antelope, elk, moose, etc]. , are not blinded and can see. With continus daytime headlights, there have been five occassions, at 75-80 miles per hour, I have had to tip my 1998 S10 pickup, onto 2 wheels and weave my way through 100 or more mule tale deer on highway 85, north of lingle, near my ranch. Sometimes on black ice. Do I have to file a class action law suite to have these damn daytime running lights discontinued? all they are used for are to inform law enforcement whose running illegal drugs or alliens.
