Consumer Description

WE OWN TWO 2008 SATURN OUTLOOKS. BOTH HAD HEADLIGHT FAILURES IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. BOTH HAD THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES REPLACED. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP THE HEADLIGHTS (NON-BRIGHTS) ON BOTH ARE FAILING, AND IT IS NOT THE BULBS. MECHANIC "JIGGLES" THE WIRES AND HEADLIGHTS COME ON ONLY TO FAIL LESS THAN A WEEK LATER. NUMEROUS ONLINE SEARCHES SHOW THE HARNESS TO BE AT FAULT, WITH INDICATIONS THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN RE-ENGINEERING TO ADDRESS THE KNOWN DEFECT. *TR
