| Description of the problem | Have had to replace headlights several times as well as brake lights. On average, 2 or 3 times a year for each. I had to replace the entire rear light assembly because brake light bulb actually melted the casing around it and warped it so couldn't just replace the bulb any longer. Mechanic told me that the same thing was starting to happen on the driver side light assembly around a marker light as well and will need to be replaced. |
