Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY LIGHTS ON, THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH WENT OUT. THEN AFTER 10 TO 15 MINUTES, THE LIGHTS CAME BACK AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED QUITE FREQUENTLY. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 11/24/2003 AND THE DEALER SAID THAT HE FIXED IT BUT THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH KEPT GOING OF AND ON OCCATIONALLY. THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH WENT OFF COMPLETELY IN OCTOBER 2004. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE SWITCH AND REPLACED IT ON 11/24/2004. THE SAME NIGHT THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH WENT OUT. I WILL BE TAKING THIS CAR TO THE DEALER AGAIN ON THE 5TH OF DECEMBER.*AK
