Description of the problem	I purchased my '06 chevy aveo new from friendly chevrolet in fridley mn and after approximately two years i realized that i was needing to change headlights far too frequently for any car. I asked the dealership about it at the time and was told they knew nothing about any problems. Several other mechanics also looked at it and i was told there is a short somewhere but could not specify where without digging into it. Every other month (approximately) for over three years, one headlamp or the other would go out. I received the lecture about not touching the bulb when installing, though i knew this already, and it was not the problem. Both headlamp plugs are now charred and approximately one month after i got the original recall letter, both headlamps went dim, so dim that the parking lights shed more light, making the vehicle unsafe for driving other than daytime. I was initially told that i need to wait until i can make an appointment to repair it, so waited another month or two and made an appointment, only to be told when i arrived, that there was not a fix for the problem yet. I have had ongoing problems with the friendly chev staff, not being able to contact the service manager [xxx] , and the one occasion i was able to leave message for him, he still has not called back. I have now left message for the general manager, whose name was inaudible on his outgoing message. I need to know what can be done; will gm fix it? Do i drive it (daytime only) until it burns?

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
