Consumer Description

DOME LIGHT ALWAYS ON DUE TO DOOR SWITCH STUCK. VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. DEALER SAID REOCCURING PROBLEM IN MODEL AND SAID I CAN FIX IT MYSELF BY REMOVING DOOR PANEL. ASKED IF I HAD OTHER "ELECTRICAL" PROBLEMS. I SAID EMERGENCY (HAZARD) LIGHTS DON'T WORK. HE SAID MODEL HAS AWFUL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND WANTED TO KNOW IF I USE THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTS EQUIPPED ON THE CAR. SAID I TRIED BUT IT WAS FAULTY. NEVER BOTHERED USING IT SINCE. HE GAVE ME AN ESTIMATION ON REPAIRS STATING IT IS MANUFACTURE DEFECT BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.*AK
