CHEVROLET OPTRA 2005 car safety problem was reported on Apr 15, 2010.CHEVROLET OPTRA 2005, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 11PM, ALL LIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OFF. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED IN 2006(?) AND WAS FIXED. IN 2008(?), THERE WAS A RECALL FROM GM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I DID BRING MY CAR TO DEALER FOR THE RECALL, ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DID. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN.
