Fog Light Switch Problems of GMC Acadia

Vehicle headlights abruptly stopped working. Headlights are in auto running lights position, but will not turn on. No headlights available, only option to use is fog lights. This occurred after 9 pm on a highway, creating a serious safety hazard. Vehicle brought to 3 different mechanics shops and no problems with headlights were detected, no problems with fuses, computer or battery detected, no lamps needed replacement. Two months later no solution found. The vehicle is not operational during poor weather or after dark.

My recent trip from connecticut to atlanta,GA and then to vero beach ,FL was driven at night. I found myself having trouble seeing any road sign hanging high, and most road signs in general unless I used my high beam lighting. I brought my car to the GMC dealership in both vero beach,FL and watertown, CT where I bought the car. It was found to have a very sharp cut off of light and with in the design tolerance. Both dealers have no clue as it is in GMC tolerance and there is no replacement light bulb for the light assembly. They both agree there is a design problem. I am now stuck with a new car that has bad lighting and will need additional lighting or get a new car from someone other than GMC. I did contact GMC and was told that there was not much they could do as it was per design. My car has no additional lighting, not even a fog light. Just received a call from GMC. The car is ok by its design, and as of now I have no more options.

2014 GMC Acadia headlights do not shine out far enough to see the road ahead or to each side when turning. I feel like I have a dark hood over the top part of my eyes and this hood "bounces" as you travel--very distracting, irritating, and unsafe. When driving at night, I always have my fog lights on, but even that does not help much. When driving on a hilly, curvy road, it is impossible to see the road ahead & sides--scares the heck out of me! I love this Acadia, but refuse to drive it on a trip when I know I will be driving at night and would be scared to death if it would rain at night--so we take our other vehicle on most trips. I have found other complaints about the Acadia headlights for the 2013 and 2015 models. Also found many complaints about the 2014 GMC sierra 1500 pickups that sound just like my concerns. I have complained to our local dealership a couple times and will continue to do so. Surely GMC will wake up and realize that these headlights create dangerous nighttime driving conditions. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed!.

A few months after purchasing a certified 2010 Acadia the passenger low beam would work intermittent. I took it to the dealer and was told it would cost me over $1000 for them to fix it even though it was still under warranty. I few months later the passenger side low beam started to do the same. I again took it to the dealer and was told it was not there problem and would fix it if I paid for the fix. Now neither low beam will work and I have to use the fog lights if I want to drive at night. The visibility is terrible and unsafe. This was an issue gm and the dealer knew before selling the vehicle to me.
