| Description of the problem | Summer of 2018 i complained to carmax about electrical problems to check. My horn unexpectedly will not work, my monitor stopped working and was replaced (oct 2018) but now it blinks off and on, and i would replace my exterior lights almost every 2-3 months. Recently (nov 2018) i was told my brake lights were out so i went to replace them at autozone and was told my light cases are melted as well as the bulb holder is burnt. I have only had this car for 1 year and 10 months. Since purchasing this car i have replaced my cv joints 4 times, had a new monitor put in the car, new engine and other recalls completed on this car. I feel it is important that the manufacturer completely recall this model year for safety reasons. |
