Consumer Description

THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. WITH THE HEADLIGHTS NOT ON, THE WIPERS WOULD WORK ERRATICALLY AND NOT EFFICIENTLY, CAUSING AN UNSAFE DRIVE DURING RAIN. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TURNED ON, THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. TRYING TO RIDE HOME IN THE DARK WITH NO LIGHTS, NOR WIPERS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY CAUSED AN UNSAFE SITUATION. ADDITIONALLY, THE SIGNALS AND PARKING LIGHTS ARE DIMMING AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE CAR IS PRESENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR TWO DAYS- HAS NOT BEEN LOOKED AT YET. *TR
