| Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I have replaced all my external lights bulbs two times since i've had the car, with the last time about 6 months ago. I keep on having intermittent external lights go out, then come back on. In general, when they temporarily go off its just the beginning of the end. They tend to permanently burn out. I always have replaced all light bulbs when the first one goes out, because the rest usually start going out. I have twice replaced all the bulbs at the same time, but keeping having issues. Also, my rear drivers side light assembly was hanging off the car by the wire harness. Somehow the plastic part broke that keeps it attached to the frame of the car. |
