Description of the problem | For over a year(maybe even close to two years), i have been calling in to cadillac, gm, and my local dealer ship heard allen cadillac in athens, georgia to complain about faulty headlights/headlamps. The lights have progressively gotten worse to the point i either cannot drive at night or have to keep on my high beams. Visibility and depth with low beams is extremely poor. There have been a few times when other cars didn't see me until the last second and times i have missed a road/street because i can't see the road lines. Initially, i took my car to the local dealership and was told to wait because gm/cadillac had just started a reimbursement plan specifically for the headlight issue. I was told to wait for a letter and then come back. After waiting a few weeks, i called the cadillac/gm number again and was told to wait for the letter as they were still processing. Fast forward, i have called in too many times to recall being told various things. I have been told my car was not in the reimbursement plan, . Was told i missed the time for my reimbursement. I was told to wait because i would be i'm the next round of letters. I was told there is no next round of letters. I was told that of i didn't receive a letter, there was nothing wrong. I was told that even if i was supposed to get a letter but never got one, it didn't matter because the timeframe is over. Again... More calls. Then an advisor left a voicemail about being able to offer assistance. I took my car to the local dealership who said that gm had offered to pay close to $800, but when they put in a call the service was denied. After subsequent calls, i was given the run-around yet again. Two weeks ago, i was told to take my car to have a diagnostic on the headlights/headlamps. This whole thing has been ridiculous, and i know there have been numerous complaints from reading. At what point does this matter? |
