MOISTURE BUILT UP IN THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT CAUSE THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO FAIL. I PAID TO HAVE IT REPLACED LAST YEAR AND NOW THE PASSENGERS SIDE HAS DONE THE EXACT SAME THING. IT IS A CONDENSATION PROBLEM CAUSING THE UNITS TO FAIL AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE! WHEN YOUR HEADLIGHT GOES OUT WITHOUT WARNING ON A STORMY NIGHT IT IS DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FOR YOU BUT ANYONE IN THE AREA AROUND YOU SINCE YOU HAVE SUCH LOW VISIBILITY. I STILL HAVE THE OLD HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IF ANY ONE WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW IT OR CHECK FOR DAMAGE.

WHEN DRIVING RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS GO OFF FOR A SECOND AND COME BACK ON THIS OCCURS 5 AND 10 MINUTES APART.

I WAS SITTING IN MY BROTHERS YARD WITH MY CAR CRUNK UP AND WHEN I BEGAN TO PUT IT IN REVERSE IT STARTED MAKING A STRANGE NOISE. SO WHEN I PUT IT BACK IN PARK THE NOISE STOPPED.

SO I PUT IT IN DRIVE TO SEE WOULD IT GO FORWARD AND IT DID FOR MAYBE A HUNDRED FEET BUT IT WOULD NOT SWITCH OUT OF SECOND GEAR.

VEHICLE STALLED OUT ON A HIGHWAY (AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED) AND WOULD NOT RESTART. OBVIOUSLY THIS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR ME AND THOSE AROUND ME AS I TRIED TO COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER (ESP WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES). THE PROBLEM CAME WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AND WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE BEEN ISOLATED TO THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE. MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS ONLY 43K

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR EVERYTHING WAS PERFECTLY WORKING.I PARKED FOR THE NIGHT BEHIND MY HOUSE NO PROBLEMS. I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR THE NEXT MORNING AND ALL OF THE DASH GAUGES AS WELL AS THE REVERSE LIGHTS WERE OUT. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP WITH NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE CLUSTER PANEL WAS REPLACED WITH NO LUCK OF THE PROBLEM BEING RESOLVED. FUSES WERE REPLACED ALSO. THIS IS NOT ONLY UPSETTING BUT IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS. I CAN NOT AND DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. HOW DO I KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE OR HOW FAST I AM TRAVELING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS COME UP BEFORE WITH NO SOLUTION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
