Consumer Description

THE WIRING HARNESS ON THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED THREE TIMES SINCE 2003 CAUSING FAILURE OF THE LOW AND HIGH BEAMS ON THE HEADLIGHTS AS WELL AS THE TURN SIGNALS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS BEING CAUSED BY EARLY CORROSION. THERE IS NO WARNING OF THE IMPENDING FAILURE. THE LIGHTS IMMEDIATELY GO OUT WITH NO RECOURSE UNTIL SERVICED. THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DISCUSSION OF THIS COMMON PROBLEM, AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS ADMITTED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON FAILURE. *NM
