Description of the problem	Complaint received via e-mail. Vehicle was purchased in winter months. When i drove it off lot right headlight blew. I phoned dealer- saleswoman told me take it to their mechanic for repairs. He replaced it several times, each time it blew. He said it was wet weather. I wondered, but trusted them. 1 electrical problem after another. I have spent $500 to have the same problems repaired repeatedly. Last july, i took it to the local dealer and paid $122 for repairs. It lasted less than 1 month. Lights began blowing out, and failed. Blinkers operated erratically, sometimes right ones worked(front & back), sometimes they didn't. Backup lights came on when brake were pressed.
