While driving approximately 70 miles an hour and trying to switch lanes, we got a stabilitrack warning and the car shut off for a second and then came back on. the weather was nice and there was no snow or any other adverse conditions. This happened a couple more times on the ride and then when we tried to turn into a parking spot it shut off completely and we had to restart it. We turned stabilitrack off and the car was ok for a couple of short drives. Then driving late at late and we passed another car the same thing happened. Then when we tried to turn our brights on we got the same message. Then we got a brake assist message and then we got a collision alert. The headlights were flickering the rest of the drive and we couldnt use our brights. We had our 4 children in the car and it was shutting down at high speeds and very scary. I looked up our vin and it said that the recalls had been worked on but I dont remember this being done. This has never happended before this. our car would be available for inspection if needed.

Headlight assembly leaks and retains significant amounts of water resembling a half filled fish tank. This causes the bulbs to burn out or corrode the light power supply leaving you with no headlights! This is a very common problem across many GM platforms. I am surprised the Government regulators have allowed a safety problem this wide spread and known to continue unaddressed.

Purchased a 2015 suburban new from jim ellis chevrolet. At about year 3 of ownership, just after warranty expiration, I noticed moisture in drivers side headlight assembly. About a year later the blinker stopped working. The only way to repair it is to install an entire new assembly. The part is $1,200 alone. The is not a warranty issue, but a defect that chevy will not address or admit. It is also a major safety issue. Additionally, the paint on the hood and roof started failing at about year 4. Again, another defect. Chevrolet will not address either of them. One is a safety issue, the other cosmetic. Very frustrated.

State rejects vehicle citing moisture inside a sealed headlamp assembly is a safety hazard. Thousands of complaints posted online. Gm/chevrolet admits the sealed assemblies are defective however they do not offer any assistance whatsoever regarding replacement of the defective equipment and further stating they cannot be repaired. Dealer has quoted a price of up to $1,400 to replace the headlamp assembly on my vehicle. This issue first appeared with less than 40,000 miles on the vehicle. The moisture accumulation can increase or decrease with rain or other atmospheric conditions. The electrical contacts within the housing of the sealed lenses rust causing the lamps and turn signals to intermittently go on and off and fail altogether. Once failed, attempts to replace the bulbs have been unsuccessful due to the oxidation and/or rust accumulation on the lens housing contact points.

The headlamps do not provide sufficient light output to safely operate the vehicle at night. It is very easy to over drive the vehicle headlamps and the bright lights do not provide enough increase in light output to address the issue. I do not feel safe operating this vehicle at night in any reduced light condition.

Headlamps too dull. Hard to see the road at night. No side vision at night. Has been like this since new. I have complained to 2 different dealers and they say there is no problem. I have put in a complaint the the manufacturer and have heard nothing back.
