| Description of the problem | Low beam headlight bulbs burn out and need to be replace every 3 to 4 months. This issues has occurred while driving on highways like interstate 81 or highway 322 and 11/15 in pennsylvania. They have always burnt out with being stationary in parking lots at all times and season of the year. When one side burns out it can be a month to 4 months before the other side burns out. I purchased the vehicle in early 2019 and since that time i have replace almost 10 or more bulbs since owning the vehicle. |
