We were driving our 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe (purchased Dec 2020; odometer currently right under 40,000 miles) out of town this past weekend and I noticed the headlights were not illuminating the road ahead very well once the sun went down. They seemed like they were pointed down and when i turned on the high beams, those were also lower than how the low beams are usually pointed. We were stuck in the middle of nowhere and I persevered with low lighting onto our destination. After researching the issue on the internet days later, I found a Tahoe Owners' forum/thread [XXX] ) where several other 2021 Tahoe owners had experienced the exact same issue as ours had. The culprit appears to be a sub-component of the headlight adjuster mechanism, but GM/Chevrolet does not offer a replacement for either this small white plastic piece that is failing and the only repair option they have for this issue is complete replacement of the entire headlamp assembly ($1,350 MSRP). This is a dangerous problem that occurred randomly on a vehicle with low mileage and appears to potentially be a common failure for other owners of the same headlamp design. I have not taken this vehicle into the dealership for inspection, as I expect they will only replace the entire headlamp assembly for $$$$.

The headlight adjustment screws fail causing the projector adjustment to bottom out leaving limited visibility when driving in the dark. The headlights then do not raise back up any longer.

I'm [XXX] so not much night driving. The other night I left a meeting when I turned on headlights one is pointing down. Difficult to see and hard to stay between the lines. My vehicle has never ben in an accident nor had lights repaired. Checking online I see this is a problem for many Tahoe, Suburban and Yukon owners and perhaps even pickup trucks. In my opinion this represents a serious safety concern. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Drivers side headlight is stuck pointing down making it hard to see in the dark. Vehicle is a marked police patrol vehicle.

at 13,540 miles, the drivers headlight started pointing to the ground instead of out front of the car. The headlight adjuster screw (inside the complete headlight assembly) had failed and was replaced under warranty. Then again at 35,250 mile the same thing happened again. Dealer claims GM will not do a goodwill warranty and wants $350-400 to take the headlight assembly off he car and send pictures to GM to see if GM will assist with replacement costs. Obviously this is a manufacturing defect or quality control issue. As 90% of my driving is done at night, it is unsafe for me to drive this vehicle at night.

I was driving East bound on I-10 in southwest Arizona at about midnight at 75 mph with cruise control when both headlights suddenly went out; visibility was suddenly zero. I pulled back on the bright lever and my brights came on giving me vision. I checked the lights knob and the lights were turned off. I turned the lights on and they functioned normally. On analysis later I think when I moved my flexed knee toward the door my knee contacted the lower part of the light knob and turned the lights to the off position. The lights knob is lower and closer to the center compared to other previous Tahoe I have owned making it easier for the driver's knee to make contact with the lights knob so the lights can accidently be turned off. I solved the zero visibility in a few seconds. If it would have taken me 5 or 10 or more seconds I could have been killed. Drivers of this 2021 Tahoe should be warned that their knee could turn their lights off and that if that does happen pulling the bright lever or turning the light knob back on can correct the problem. In the future this light knob should be changed; putting it higher and more toward the door would be better or anywhere it can't be accidently turned to the off position. This is extremely dangerous and people could be killed! please warn the drivers of the 2021 Tahoe and any other vehicles with similar light switch designs and make corrections with the light knob in the 2021 Tahoe and vehicles with similar designed light switches.
