Description of the problem	I was at work while my car was parked in the lower level of a parking garage. When i came out to leave for home, i started the car and it immediately indicated via center mfd display that all exterior lights need to be checked. Left low beam, right low beam, left turn signal, right turn signal, etc. I called the dealer and they could not see me until 5 days later. The next day, however, the lights were back on. I made the appointment for 5 days later and the dealer, under warranty, replaced a melted fuse and fuse block under the hood. I asked if they corrected root cause and they said, "no! We just replaced the bad parts."
