Description of the problem | The control circuit board failed inside the left headlight. The left front turn signal therefore does not work, and the board is not available by itself. A year later (6/2019) the left rear tail light developed condensation and the brake light and turn signal failed. These are very common problems for this car and not repairable. Officially a new headlight and new tail light would be needed. This would be approximately $2500+ for just one taillight and one headlight plus likely 5+hrs labor. It is very likely the right side lights will fail some day. Turn signals should be repairable. The car is overall in excellent condition, but i am not sure a car like this should need $6000 in turnsignal repairs in its lifetime. |
