Consumer Description

STARTING ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY CAR (LOW BEAM) STARTED TO REGULARLY BURN OUT ABOUT EVERY MONTH OR TWO. I FINALLY BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A GROUND PROBLEM IN BOTH THE WIRING HARNESSES FOR THE HEADLIGHTS. (THE SAME ISSUE IN BOTH ?? ) THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY DEFECT AS IT HAS CAUSED ME TO BE DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN BOTH OF THEM BURNED OUT AT THE SAME TIME. WITH THE SAME DEFECT BEING IN TWO DIFFERENT PARTS ON THE SAME CAR, I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING THIS IS NOT A GENERAL PROBLEM ESPECIALLY AFTER TALKING TO PEOPLE IN THE DEALERSHIP HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS.. *TR
