Consumer Description

PASSENGER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. TOOK TO DEALER AND BULB WAS REPLACED. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS, BULB WAS OUT AGAIN. RETURNED TO DEALER IN JUNE 2013 AND DISCOVERED PART OF THE FIXTURE WIRING HAD MELTED. DEALER REPAIRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE SAME DAY WE PICKED IT UP, THE DRIVER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT WENT OUT. RETURNED TO DEALER ON JUNE 21, 2013 AND DISCOVERED MELTED WIRING AGAIN. WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THREE BULBS AND HAD TO REPLACE THE MELTED WIRING COMPONENTS ON BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. ALSO HAVE AN UNSOLVED ISSUE OF HIGH BEAMS WORKING OFF AND ON. THERE IS DEFINITELY A SERIOUS WIRING/ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THIS COULD POSE A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD. THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS NOT SOME TYPE OF MANUFACTURING DEFECT! *TR
