The Headlights problem

The headlight bulbs burn out multiple times a year and on top of that, the lens have fogged up to the point that I was forced to replace the headlamps.

The Tail Light Switch problem

Defective taillight assembly. They are both "melting" from the inside and have reported to the dealer and warranty carriers to no avail. They responded that I must have changed the bulbs for aftermarket ones and that could have possibly overheated and melted the assembly.   Read details...
