1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 01/21/2016

90% of my driving is at night. I drive on mixed roadways. I find that the headlamps on my GMC Sierra are inadequate at best. I brought the Sierra to the dealer, who performed a TSB, and although it improved the lighting, it is still way below par. It's as if I'm driving a 20 year old car with yellowed out lens cover. In rainy weather, the headlamps are nonexistent.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 12/31/2015

The head lights on this truck are very bad. I spent 45,000 dollars on somthing that should not be a problem. On high beams the drivers side head light goes almost straight out from the truck. On the passengers side the high beam light goes out to left . It 's like the right side light is going to middle of truck. You can really see it on a dark road with road banks or trees on both sides of the road. I took to dealer and they checked it out with another truck. Big deal! that tells me that both trucks are doing the same thing. ( dahaaa). I called GMC and filed a complaint . They called back and said they talked to the dealer and they can't do anything about it (. Dahaa. ). . . I hope no one asks me about these new trucks????? I never thoght I would have a truck from the darks again. I was wrong. Please fix the problem gm. . . This is stupid. . . Thanks for nothing.

The low beams only illuminate 40 to 50 feet down the road. The high beams provide very poor visibility. There is absolutely no side illumination. This is a challenging vehicle to drive at night.

8 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 12/03/2014

The projector head lights are very poor at best. Very low illumination. It is very difficult to see the road at night. Driving in some conditions it is extremely difficult to see the road and the sides of the road. When making a right hand turn the driver cannot see anything on the right. When raining the driver cannot seat all. It is like driving a 1960 vintage vehicle. There are many complaints on the web. I notified GMC about this issue. The response is the lights work as designed. This is a terrible design. There will be accidents due to this issue. Gm should be proactive before there are fatalities. I hope that notifying you that you will help solve this.
