Consumer Description

A PROBLEM WITH A WIRING HARNESS ON MY 2002 DODGE NEON HAS CAUSED THE HEAD LIGHTS TO SUDDENLY FAIL ON MY VEHICLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. ACCORDING TO MY AUTO REPAIR MAN, THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTED TO THE SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN THAT OPERATES THE LIGHTS SUDDENLY BURNED OUT. THIS CAUSED THE HEAD LIGHTS TO FAIL REPEADTEDLY. DAIMLERCHRYSLER, MAKERS OF THE VEHICLE, TOLD MY AUTO MECHANIC THAT THEY HAVE NO REPAIR MANUAL FOR THIS HARNESS, AND THAT THE HARNESS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,000 TO $1,500 TO ME.
