| Description of the problem | The outside bulbs constantly burn out, it can be a headlight, (high beam, low beam) license plate light, brake lite, running lights.... The inside lights have been ok this bulb issue started at 27,000 miles and has been a constant problem since. Out of 24 service orders, nine of those orders have needed to have one or more bulbs replaced. I live in the foothills of calaveras county, california and the excuse the dealership gives me is that we have rough roads in these hills. Well, i say, what a line of poop, i drive a subaru, it's made for our area. Either i have an electrical problem that obviously started when the car was under warranty or that the bulbs that are being used are totally of bad quality. |
