Passenger dim headlight keeps going out causing a unsafe issue. The plug gets hot and is damaged.A service bulletin was put out on this issue in 2014 so gm has known that this was a problem for a long time. I read several complaints on this issue and can't understand why a recall has not been issued unless gm thinks that it is safe to drive with one headlight. I know from experience that our state police department doesn't think that it is since I just got a warning because my headlight was out again.

While driving 30 mph on city streets going straight with a slight incline the A/C and radio powered on and off several times. When stopped at a stop light the doors unlocked and "service stabilitrak" flashed on and off the dash, the radio powered down, and the A/C turned off. After a few second everything went back to normal. No check engine lights came on at all. This is not the first time this has happened.

2012 Impala the passenger side lowbeam headlight keeps going out, after replacing the bulb it goes out again instantly. Some kind of electrical issue I'm guessing. Can be dangerous and getting pulled over for it by the police is not fun.

When I purchased this vehicle I had a 42 month warranty. Several months after my purchase I noticed that the tires (all 4) were dry rotting. Several months after that the passenger side head light was fogging to the point it was dimming the head light. I took the vehicle back to where I purchased this and the name of the Chevrolet dealer was tom bannen and now serra Chevrolet. I complained to General Motors in Michigan and they told me to take this back to the dealership. The car was to be seen by the service manager which I did and was turned down again for repairs even while the car was still under warranty. I then filed a complaint with BBB and after several attempts to resolve these issues the jerk at serra Chevrolet said that serra Chevrolet would not honor any warranty that was given to me by the previous owner, tom bannen. I think that serra Chevrolet in madison, tn. Has and will rip off other buyers who had the warranties from tom bannen. I will never purchase another General Motors product and tell all my relatives and many friends not to buy from this rip off artist.
