Mileage: 88,956

I WAS DRIVING DOWN AN OLD COUNTRY ROAD AROUND 8:30 PM ON MY WAY HOME FROM A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT. MY WIFE WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND I WAS LUCKILY FOLLOWING HER HOME INSTEAD OF VICE VERSA. MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO ON AND OFF WITH NO CONSISTENT TIME ON OR OFF. IT WAS VERY RADICAL AND UNPREDICTABLE. I WAS ABLE TO USE MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND ABLE TO SEE ENOUGH WITH THEM TO STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY. YOU KNOW HOW COUNTRY ROADS ARE ....NARROW AND LARGE DITCHES ON EITHER SIDE. THANK YOU GOD!

WHILE DRIVING HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED. *AK

CONSUMER STATES AFTER RECALL WAS DONE PROBLEM REOCCURED. DEALER REFUSED TO REDO PROBLEM. MR

HEADLIGHTS TOO DIM TO SAFELY DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PLASTIC LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS PERMINATLY FOGGED. 6 YEARS OF HEAT AND MOISTURE HAVE FOGGED THE LENSE. I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THIS EFFECT ON MANY CARS HERE IN FLORIDA WITH THESE PLASTIC HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. REPLACEMENT OF THE TWO LIGHT ASSEMBLES W/LABOR IS $250. IT WOULD WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE PLASTIC MATERIAL. THESE PLASTIC LENSES SHOULD HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO OUT LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICAL.

HEADLIGHTS GO ON & OFF WITH TILT WHEEL (DEALER FIXED BY REPLACING SWITCH AND TAPING BURNED WIRES :( ). FAN AND POWER WINDOWS FUNCTION WITH KEY REMOVED FROM VEHICLE WITHTILT WHEEL IN UP POSTION REMOVAL OF COLUMN COVER SHOWS BURNED RUBBER EXPOSED WIRES. PROBLEM HAS RENDERED THE UPPER FUSE BOX WITH NO POWER AND NO HEATER OR POWER WINDOWS. ALL THESE PROBLEMS OCCURR FROM THE WHEEL PINCHING THE WIRES INSIDE. AT TIME S A BURNING ODOR CAN BE SMELLED.

WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY DURING INCLEMENT CONDITIONS CONSISTING OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL/TOTAL DARKNESS AND FOGGY, VEHICLE'S LIGHTS WERE ON LOW BEAM. THE HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT, VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL, APPLIED BRAKES B UT THEY DIDN'T WOTK, VEHIVLE HIT A ROCK WALL. DURING INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTED THAT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE WORN OUT. BOTH DRIVER/PASSENGER SUSTAINE DINJURIES. *AK

MAIN LIGHTING SWITCH FAILS, MELTING BRAKE HOUSING, HEADLIGHT SWITCH GETS VERY HOT. SWITCH IS NOT AVAILABLE BY ITSELF. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS.*AK

THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH KEEPS BURNING. PLEASE DESCRIBE FURTHER. TT
