On March 4, 2023, I purchased a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse from Landers Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram located in Norman, Oklahoma. Before actually purchasing the vehicle and after inspection it was stated to the dealership that the [XXX] would not purchase the vehicle with the various problems notated before purchase. After receiving a verbal agreement that the problems would be fixed my wife and I signed the contract. My wife and I took the car to Lawton Oklahoma from Mach 4 to March 8 when we were to return the vehicle for repairs. Then on March 17, 2023, we picked the vehicle up from Landers after repairs. After leaving Landers Chrysler and then getting onto HE Bailey Turnpike the vehicle’s check engine light came back on, and the passenger headlight was out again. However, on March 20, 2023, [XXX] wrote a letter to Landers Chrysler with several complaints which needed to be rectified. •RE: Failure to disclose material information, and/or making a false representation of a present or past material fact such as a diagnostic trouble code: (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold [possible needed repairs] 2015 Chevrolet Traverse) known to dealer, and by the dealer’s failing to disclose such information involving the vehicle's history to a recent purchaser, and Lending Institution. Landers Chrysler did fix the problem with the check engine light, but refused to fix the front headlight problem, and told the [XXX] that since they had a service contract, that should cover the headlight situation. However, that is not the case. The service contract does not cover headlight problems, and Classic Chevrolet where the vehicle is now located wants to charge me over $2000 to fix the problem. Although my wife and I thought that the headlight was fixed, it was later learned that it was not. I sincerely believe that Landers Chrysler knew that the headlights and possibly light switches had serious problems, then sold the vehicle knowing this.

Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
The headlights constantly burn out, at a rate of one bulb every two months. It would be a tragic safety event if they both went out at the same time. The design of the headlight system is poor in that you have to replace the light through the inner fender, making it nearly impossible to do without touching the bulb. Poor design and something needs to be done to address this issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet traverse. The contact stated that the headlights and rear exterior lighting retained water each time it rained between the body and bulbs. The contact was concerned that the water inside the light bulbs could cause a short circuit. The vehicle was taken to bellavia chevrolet buick (199 nj-17, east rutherford, nj 07073, (201) 355-2885) where the light bulbs were replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred before the contact arrived home. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired because the part was not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was approximately 24,351.
The low beam/driving lights stop working while the vehicle is being driven. This occurs alternately and intermittently. This issue causes problems with visibility for driver and others.
The passenger side headlight went out in april 2017, may 2017 driver side headlight goes out. Vehicle is only two (2) year old and the head lights should not need to be replaced every two years. The stability control light came on after returning to truck four hours later. Whenever I accelerate the vehicle and ride became unstable.
Condensation forming in the headlights and taillights producing a foggy appearance restricting the ability of the light assembly.
