Consumer Description

BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING ON A DARK RURAL ROAD. WE WERE TOLD THE RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE OUR AUTO WHICH WAS MADE THE SAME YEAR AS OTHER RECALLED AUTOMOBILES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. HOWEVER IT APPEARS THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED PROPERLY.
