Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT, THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. NEXT DAY I BOUGHT NEW LAMPS AND REPLACED BOTH OF THEM BUT THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT STILL DIDN'T TURN ON. I DID NOTICE A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE HARNESS AND LAMP SOCKET ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IT SEEMS THAT THE HEADLIGHT HAD OVERHEATED AND MELTED THE WIRING HARNESS AND SOME OF THE SOCKET ASSEMBLY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL FOR SAFETY REASONS. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AND ELECTRICAL FIRE OR A SERIOUS TRAFFIC ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. *TR
