| Traction Control System problems |
Left side brake / tail light melts. Bulb base melts then causes an open short. Bulb has been replaced several times. Last 3 to 4 months before failure (melted base) and bulb replacement. It also causes the traction control system (tcs) to show an intermittent fault or be inoperative.
Abs and traction control stopped working and right front bearing defective. Wheel would have fallen off and braking was very hard. Would have caused an accident, injury, and/or death if continued to be driven before repair. Right front wheel hub bearing w/ abs sensor had to be replaced. Then again in December, 2006 and now may, 2009.
