My headlights keep going out and I keep changes the fuses. It lasts for about a month, then happens again. It's the fuse box. If canada can have a recall on this, because you need headlights to drive, it's a safety issue. Why can't the united states recall these cars and fix them. What's the difference. Canada cares more about there people's safety then the united states. Is that right. I was driving the car. It happened yesterday February 9, 2021.
