Headlights problem #1

The dashboard indicator for the headlight shows the parking light symbol for both the parking lights and the headlights. It is impossible to determine from the dashboard which lights are being used. This could result in driving at night with the parking lights on when headlights are needed. This is an unsafe condition. The headlight symbol should be used whenever the headlights are on.

Tail Light Switch problem #2

The etacs control has caused my tail lights and tag lights to not work. This is an extreme amount of money to fix. I see there was a recall on the etacs for vehicles made in 2010 and I believe my car should be in this recall but nothing has come up according to the VIN. I cannot get my car inspected and registered due to this etacs failure.

Exterior Lighting problem #3

Unknown.
