Default Headlight Switch

Here's one...Last night I got into my car after work and went to turn on the headlights. No sooner than they had popped-up, lights out and the headlights went back down. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> I checked all of the fuses after I got home, to no avail all of the fuses were in tact. <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> I took it to my dealership this morning to find out, on this car with only 1700 miles, I had a bad headlight switch. Have any of my fellow members had this problem or anything similar to this??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> On the bright side warranties are a good thing in this case! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I am starting to wonder about GM's electronics...They used not suck, but here lately with headlight and window complaints my confidence is wayning.(sp) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Another thing I am pissed about is the windows rattling. <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> If you haven't seen the posts, a lot of people are having trouble w/window rattle. Mine does it when my stereos bass hits...Go figure? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
