Started to see smoke and then the headlights stopped working properly. After disassembling the wiring connector from the headlight switch, I discovered the connector had overheated to the point it was charred and crumbling to pieces. This is not a misuse by operator, but a safety failure of the electrical system. This could have resulted in a fire as the fuse protecting this circuit did not fail when the circuit obviously overheated and melted and charred the plastic connector.
Consumer complained about a control arm bushings problem. Bushing are wearing out every 8,000 miles. Owner contacted manufacturer and dealer, who offered the owner replacement, however, because of the control arm bushings wearing thin the vehicle had a problem with the steering , as well. Vehicle could not pass inspection.
