Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, IN THE RAIN, WHEN I GOT THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE THAT MY RF TURN SIGNAL WAS OUT. DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND THE LF PARKING LIGHT STAYED ON. CHECKED THE BULBS AND FUSES AND ALL WERE FINE. DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE SMART JUNCTION BOX. ONE SUGGESTION WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO SEE IF IT RESET. TRIED THAT WITH NO SUCCESS. WE RECONNECTED THE BATTERY THE NEXT MORNING AND PARKING LIGHT CAME BACK ON. HAD TO REMOVE THE BULB SO I NOW HAD NO FRONT TURN SIGNALS. BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, ASSUMING THE WORST AFTER MY ONLINE RESEARCH, AND GOT THE NEWS IT WAS THE SJB TO THE TUNE OF $700. I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T UNDER RECALL BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. HAVING WORKING LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS WOULD SEEM TO QUALIFY AS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME? *TR
