The first thing to go wrong was the power windows don't work properly in the winter, now the air conditioner only blows cold air intermittently, and the most recent problem is the headlights won't work at all, I called the local service center and they said that the electrical recalls were VIN specific, even tho I had the correct make model and year my VIN did not qualify for the recall! I'm very upset that they can be VIN specific but I'm having all the issues on the recalls!! I can no longer drive my vehicle if it is raining, foggy, or dark because I have no headlights!!! I also lost control of my car in the rain and think it has to do with the stabilitrak, the light has been on for a while, luckily I stopped my car before I crashed into anything

Headlights went off on three different occasions this past week, it also happened once before several months back. They just shut off and while your panicking and hitting the headlight switch several times they finally come back on. We will not drive it at night anymore. Why is my car not recalled when others from the same year are. I have been working in manufacturing for over thirty years and my dad worked on the gm assembly line for thirty years. Don't kid yourself that you know which batch of parts were used on a particular car. My VIN is defective.

The low beam headlights randomly go off together when driving and often will not come back on for a short period of time. Have to use high beam after low beam goes off.
