What owners report

  • These headlights and taillights and even inside the car dome lights are dangerously dim. Even with lights on bright it is difficult to see

    filed Sep 19, 2020

  • Headlights are extremely dim. Inside housing for headlights is melted from overheating, making headlights ineffective. Driving at night is not safe and down right dangerous. Very common problem for all years of this vehicle.
