Replying to: pao (Dec 11, 2007 11:22 am) On the TSB, any idea what the dealer will cover for free on a 2 1/2 year old Maxx with 77K? If nothing, I may try to replace them myself. You say "plug and play" but is that a matter of a couple screws or is it more involved?

Replying to: maxxmd (Dec 11, 2007 2:26 pm) if you are replacing the entire assembly, no need to worry about the TSB as the assembly comes with the sockets and harness already....

| Just received notice today that they're reimbursing for repairs. I had said that the repairs totaled $1000 but in fact it was a bit over $700. Glad to see they're making good on this troubling part. | |
I have had both headlights burn as well. The dealer replaced one under GMPP, but the other they did the wiring change even though the damage was done. The new headlight still had the old bulb #. I also filed a report with NHTSA as I think this could be a fire hazard. My suggestion is to check ebay for an undamaged one, then change the bulb out to the updated one. I haven't had problems since with the new bulb. But kind of crummy GMPP would fix the damage.

| I own a 05 Maxx LT which I bought in May of '06 and luckily have had no problems with it at all. Yesterday I received in the mail from GM a letter stating that there have been problems with the power steering assist and are extending the warranty on this item to 7/70. This also includes reimbursement for those who have had it fixed already. Looks like they finally came through on something. | |
