Consumer Description

DASHLIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT EVER SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS NEW. HEADLIDHTS HAVE GONE OUT TWICE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALER SAID HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM UNTIL I COULD BRING IT IN WITH THE LIGHTS OUT. WELL THEY DON'T WORK AT ALL NOW! I USE A FLASHLIGH TO CHECK MY SPEED AND GAUGES AT NIGHT. THE DEALER SAY THERE ARE NO REPORTS OF ELECTICAL PROBLEMS. I KNOW OF TWO OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. *AK
