| Description of the problem | One headlight continues to go out. I had it fixed several times and the mechanic said that it is an electrical problem because everytime they change the bulb it is melted inside. It will stay lit for a day and then go out again. Also, my heated seats stopped working and outlers to plug in my car charger in the front under the radio have stopped working as well. I have had it looked at and when we think its fixed it immediately stops working. This is been ongoing for over a year. |
