Complaint Summary

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Owner Narrative

THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT AND TAILLIGHT STOPPED WORKING. WE REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT BULB ONLY FOR IT TO STOP WORKING TWO DAYS LATER. WE REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT BULB ONCE A WEEK FOR A MONTH, AND FOR NOW IT CONTINUES TO WORK. THE HEADLIGHT, HOWEVER, CONTINUED NOT WORKING FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, THEN BEGAN WORKING AGAIN ONLY FOR THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT TO STOP WORKING. AFTER TURNING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF THEN BACK ON BOTH HEADLIGHTS BEGAN WORKING. HOWEVER, AFTER 10 MINUTES BOTH WENT OUT AGAIN. EVER SINCE THEN, IT IS ALWAYS A GUESS AS TO WHICH HEADLIGHT, IF ANY, WILL WORK AT DUSK. SOMETIMES THEY WILL BOTH WORK FOR ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE QUITTING. I WAS GIVEN AN ODI# OF 10453541. *JS
