Consumer Description

I GET A "RIGHT DIPPED HEADLIGHT" MESSAGE AND MY RIGHT HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. I CAN CORRECT THE ISSUE BY TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON BUT THIS IS NOT SAFE AFTER DARK. THE CAR HAS BEEN DOING THIS WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY ESPECIALLY OVER THE PAST YEAR. IT OCCURS MORE WHEN IT'S RAINING AND MORE AFTER DARK-WHEN YOU MOST NEED THE HEADLIGHTS. IT WILL COST ME ABOUT $1600 TO GET THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED BUT APPARENTLY THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE IN NO WAY DAMAGED THE HEADLIGHTS. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS CAR. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
