AND NOW IT'S TO THE POINT THAT THE RUNNING LIGHTS COME ON BY THEMSELVES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND OFF. *TR

I TURNED ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY WOULD NOT COME ON. I HAD TO TOGGLE THE SWITCH BACK AND FORTH TO GET IT TO WORK.

FILED A POLICE REPORT AND SAID IS WAS NOT VANDALISM, BUT THE WINDOW BLEW OUT FROM PRESSURE OR FAULTY GLASS. LOOKING ONLINE IT APPEARS THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE.
