| Description of the problem | The headlights would not turn on. The parking lights would come on, but not the headlamps. Turning the switch/dial turned them off, and turned on parking lights, but nothing else. The switch would turn all the way, but nothing. Then the parking lights wouldn't go off at all. Then i got the headlights to come on after messing with the switch for a while. The headlights came on the next day. It seems to be an intermittent problem... There are a lot of posts about this problem online. There should be a recall. This is very unsafe. |
