Consumer Description

THE HEADLIGHT BULBS KEEP BURNING OUT. FIRST ONE SIDE GOES. I REPLACE THE BULB AND THE OTHER SIDE BURNS OUT. THEN BOTH BULBS ON THE ONE SIDE BURNS OUT. I REPLACE THEM AND THE 2 BULBS ON THE OTHER SIDE BURN OUT. DEC 21, 2015 ALL OF THE HEADLIGHT BULBS BURNED OUT . NOT ONLY IS THIS COSTING A LOT OF MONEY IN MECHANIC FEES BUT I ALSO GOT A TICKET FOR A BURNED OUT HEADLIGHT SET OF BULB ON ONE SIDE I WASN'T EVEN AWARE HAD BURNED OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND WHEN I REALIZE THE LIGHT IS BURNED OUT I HAVE TO RIDE WITH MY HIGHBEAMS ON WHICH IS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ONCOMING CARS. I HAVE CALLED MITSUBISHI AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIR DONE 6 TO 8 TIMES THIS YEAR ALONE. SOMETIMES THE CAR IS RUNNING LIKE LAST NIGHT AND SOMETIMES IT IS PARKED AND WHEN I GET READY TO USE IT IT HAS ALREADY BURNED OUT. CAN SOMEONE AT SAFER CAR LOOK INTO THIS. I HAVE HAD THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LOOKED AT AND IT IS NOT THE WIRING.
