| Description of the problem | I have had this car since it was new from the dealer and unlike any other vehicle that i've ever owned this one has to have the headlights replaced every 3 to 6 months. The fog lights, and clearance lights have had to be replaced several times during my ownership of the car, but nothing like the headlights. I have spent hundreds of dollars buying the best lights you can get by sylvania at $70. 00 plus for a set and i have gone through about 5 sets of these lights. Lucky for me that after having paid to have them replaced by a mechanic the first few times i was able to then do it myself. This is a problem with this make of car. I'm 60 years old and have owned many cars in my life and i have never seen anything like this problem.. I'm sorry that i have not kept records of the outages. Thank you.. |
