Consumer Description

THIS IS A GENERAL OBSERVATION OF THE 1997 AND NEWER CAMARO AND FIREBIRD. IF A BULB BURNS OUT IN THE TURN SIGNAL DRL SYSTEM, THE REMAINING BULB CAN BE MISINTERPRETED AS A TURN SIGNAL INSTEAD OF A DRL. I SUGGEST RECALLING ALL SUCH VEHICLES AND DISCONNECTING THE DRLS OR REQUIRE THE MANUFACTURER TO WIRE SUCH DRLS IN SERIES. I'VE FILED A SIMILAR COMMENT IN DOCKET 4124.
