2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 11/05/2023

Body control module. It gets wet when it rains because of an engineering mess up. It shorts out my lights. Sometimes it can't get out of car because it messes with the locks and windows. Can't use my electric mirrors anymore. Instead of being a much needed recall they decided to not even make replacement bcm. It is a problem everything it gets wet that should have been recalled and fixed. At least a thousand other incidents of this happening to others.

3 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 03/05/2018

After we had the first airbag recall replaced we started to experience the flicker 9f the airbag light. We assumed this was due to the necessity of the passenger side airbag needing to be recalled. Our service technician doesn't agree. They say the instrument cluster needs replacing. The only information I can find on that is that all other gauges fail if the cluster needs replacing. That is why I feel that the light is on directly because of the airbag recall.
