Description of the problem | The headlight socket has melted and this causes the vehicles headlight on the driver side to go out without warning. This happened once before a few months ago and then happened most recently on 6/8/2018. We had to then drive to another location to get a bulb which did give us a headlight for now... But it will go out without warning again as it has done many times. This happens while driving and is not only unsafe but could cause me to get a ticket since it is illegal to drive without non-functioning headlights. Online research has indicated that many people with this particular vehicle have experienced issues. |
