Consumer Description
MY CAR HAS BEEN BLOWING LIGHT BULBS VERY FREQUENTLY. I NOTICED THAT THE WIRE WHAT IS CHARD AND BURNED AND NAKED RESULTING IN THE WIRES TOUCHING EACH OTHER AND CAUSING MY LIGHTS TO FAIL. I REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS ONCE AND TWO MONTHS LATER THE INSULATION WAS BURNT OFF OF THE WIRE AGAIN. THERE HAS BEEN 2 INSTANCES WHERE IVE BEEN DRIVING AND MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE WENT COMPLETELY OUT AT NIGHT TIME AND I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WHERE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF STREET LIGHTS. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK. IT'S NOT JUST MY VEHICLE THAT HAS THIS ISSUE. I HAVE THREE FRIENDS WHO EITHER DRIVE A REGAL THEMSELVES OR HAVE A CLOSE FAMILY MEMBER THAT HAS ONE AND ALL THREE OF THEM HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY'RE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN. AND IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN TO SOMEBODY ELSE WHO WAS MAYBE NOT SO LUCKY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT.
