Consumer Description

IN JULY 2008 BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. TURNING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND ON CAUSED THE HEADLIGHTS TO TURN ON. THIS OCCURRED OCCASIONALLY FOR THE NEXT 2 YEARS WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. DURING A TRIP TO ANNAPOLIS IN OCT 2010, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON. MANIPULATING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH DID NOT TURN THEM ON. THE HIGH BEAM WILL TURN ON WHEN THE STALK ON THE STEERING COLUMN IS OPERATED AND THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS ON AND THE MOTOR RUNNING. INTERNET SEARCHES SUGGEST THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OR DROUNDING IS THE CUPPRIT.
