Description of the problem	On october 27 2013, the dash board lights and the back illuminating lights, glove compartment and over head lights went out, i took it to a car repair shop and they changed out the dimmer switch, which kept burning out,smoke has come out of the dash board and it smelled life fire, i pulled over and called the dealer. This is a safety issue i am not able to drive the car at night and i am afraid the care might catch fire. After changing it out 4 times, the mechanic told us to take it to the dealer. We did take the car to the dealer and $700. 00 later they still don't know what the problem it, so i have filed a case with the corporate office, the car has had some electrical problems before, but it has been fixed because they have been recalls.
