Consumer Description

MY HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AND AFTER I REPLACED THE BULBS, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. AFTER FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY CAR HAD A CORRODED RELAY JUNCTION. IT ENDED UP COSTING ALMOST $2000 TO REPAIR. I HEARD FROM THE MECHANIC AND REPORTS ON LINE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WORTH REPORTING.
