Consumer Description

I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CHANGE TAIL LIGHTS AND HEAD LIGHTS ON MY VEHICLE. EVERY 4/5 MONTHS THEY ARE GOING OUT. ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHT ABOVE IN THE BACK SEATING AREA DOES NOT COME ON WHEN THE DOORS ARE OPEN, ONLY IF MANUALLY PRESSED ON AND OFF. THE LIGHT BEHIND THE PANEL CONTROLLING THE HEAT/AIR TEMPERATURES IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO CHANGE THEIR LIGHTS AS FREQUENTLY AS I DO, IF AT ALL SINCE THEY'VE HAD THEIR CARS. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *KB
