What owners report

  • My headlights keep going out randomly and this very unsafe as I am a single mother of 2 young children! I have had it fixed 4 times! The last time I took it to the shop, I was told the wiring harness keeps melting. I researched this problem and many others are also having experiencing this issue.

  • The passenger side low beam light no longer works, and bulb replacement does not fix the problem. Mechanic said the wiring harness needs to be replaced.
