| Description of the problem | While driving my car, the right low beam headlight went out and the dashboard warning light came on - i stopped the car and looked to see what headlight was out and noticed the right side low beam was out. I went back into the car to head home (only about three miles away 0 but at night), and the other light went out as well - both headlights (low beam) stopped working - i made an appointment with the dealership monday morning. I had previously received a recall letter and made an appointment two weeks ago to have this looked at - was told it was taken cared of but experienced issues there after. I just wanted this information recorded and make sure the lights do not fail because of a recall issue and safety concerns while driving with the family. |
