| Gas gauge is erratic, goes from empty to full and full to empty leaving you with no idea how much fuel you have. when slowing down or turning, vehicle lunges or stalls. also, low beam headlights will go off with no warning and takes time to re-light. low beams also tend to flicker to dim. | |||

| Headlights dim with heated seats on and with heater on. in cold weather. notice lights dim at night and volt gauge goes down and then back to normal. do not want to take it to the dealer and pay for diag when there is a tech bulletin out. and i know i will be told they cannot duplicate it. i don't drive the car much only at night, happens all the time. i hope there will be some kind of recall that comes out. but gm doesn't care. *tr | |||
