SO NOW THE SAME ISSUE IS OCCURRING. WE HAD IT FIXED 2 TIMES PREVIOUS TO THE RECALL.THE PROBLEM IS THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, IF THEIR RECALLED "FIX" DIDN'T WORK, ALL OF THE OWNERS ARE IN THE SAME DILEMMA. *TR

HEADLAMP WIRING IS DEFECTIVE FROM THE FACTORY. HEADLAMP WIRING AND CONNECTORS BURN OUT DUE TO INABILITY TO WITHSTAND HEAT GENERATED BY NORMAL FACTORY HEADLAMP BULBS. THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS EXIST ON THIS SITE, IN ADDITION TO SERVICE BULLETINS. EVERY MECHANIC IN TOWN, DEALERSHIP, BODY SHOP, ETC. SAYS THE SAME THING. "UNTIL THEY ISSUE A RECALL, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO BUT KEEP CHARGING YOU TO FIX THE CONNECTOR." I HAVE PAID THREE TIMES TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED AND MY CAR HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN WILL SOMEONE INVESTIGATE THIS AND ISSUE A PROPER RECALL? IT IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE YOUR HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY GO OUT WHEN DRIVING 75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. *TR

STEERING MAKES A VIBRATING NOISE, INSTRUMENTS GAUGE SAYS POWERING STEERING, THE STEERING WHEEL GOES LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING.

PLEASE ADVISE HOW I CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY CAR'S STEERING IS DEFECTIVE. PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REDUCING DEATHS AND INJURIES DUE TO MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES. MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE MATTERS. *TR
