1 Headlight Switch problem of the 2015 GMC Sierra 1500

Failure Date: 11/18/2015

Headlights are inadequate on high or low beams. It seems that the light is focused into two narrow beams in an effort to make up for the low lumen level of the led bulbs. These narrow beams don't light up enough of what is in front of you for night driving. I have to use my fog lamps to turn onto streets without street lights on the corner. The recirculating switch for the ventilation system will not even reduce the amount of outside air coming into the cabin, much less occlude it. Not good in 5 o:clock traffic or when your behind a diesel burner. The dealership acts like they are clueless and say everything is working as it should. After reading this form with so many headlight complaints, I asked if they had ever gotten any complaints like mine and they denied that they ever have; and they did it with a straight face!.

2 Headlight Switch problem of the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500

Failure Date: 10/01/2014

The basic design of the headlights does not allow for a sufficient level of lighting to safely operate the vehicle at night. There is virtually no lateral lighting, and the headlights do not illuminate the way forward, they only drop a shutter in front of the lights when one switches from low beam to high. There is no increase in light intensity or volume when switching to bright lights. Recall and fix!!!!!!.

3 Headlight Switch problem of the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500

Failure Date: 04/23/2014

Live in west virginia. Was traveling home from 2nd shift along good country road when I had to swerve to miss a deer. Reason was be the headlights on my week old GMC sierra are awful. They do not light up the road correctly (side to side) or distance wise. The low beams shine out about 30 feet and when I use the high beams the light is not aimed properly. It shines everywhere but on the road. Dealer said they've had lot of complaints but no info from gm on a fix. My last gm truck had great lights. Should have bought a ram! this is dangerous and needs not to be covered up like the ignition switch thing.
