Consumer Description

FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT. I HAVE TO KEEP CHANGING IT EVERY FEW MONTHS. NOW, IT APPEARS THAT THE HEADLIGHT HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. LOW BEAM IS VERY DIM AND THE HIGH BEAM DOES NOT WORK. I ALSO EXPERIENCED OTHER TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. VERY OFTEN, THE FUEL CAP WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. I CHECK EVERY TIME AND THE CAP IS SCREWED ON TIGHTLY. AFTER A FEW TIME TURNING MY CAR OFF AND ON THE LIGHT GOES OUT. ALSO, AFTER I DRIVE MY CAR, IT ALWAYS SMELLS LIKE BURNED PLASTIC. MY RESEARCH ON INDICATES THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL HAD NOT ONLY SIMILAR BUT SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR HEADLIGHTS. CAN SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS? I WILL HAVE TO HAVE MY HEADLIGHT FIXED AND WILL COST ME A LOT $$$$. *TR
