DT: ON THE HEADLIGHT PLUG A GREASE WAS USED AND IT DISSOLVED THE INSULATION AROUND THE WIRING AT THE PLUG ,AND BLEW THE FUSE. THIS WAS ON BOTH HEADLIGHTS. DEALER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. MANUFACTURER SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR TSBS ON THIS, AND CALLER FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM, FILE #13888043.*AK
DRIVERS SEAT BELT COMES UNDONE AT ANY SPEED EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE IT - A FEW TIMES EACH TIME YOU DRIVE IT, REAR CENTER MOUNTED TAIL LIGHT DOES NOT WORK, TAILGATE HINGES ARE EXTRREMELY DIFFICULT TO SHUT CAUSING THE TAILGATE TO NOT BE CLOSED PROPERLY ALL THE TIME, FRONT TURN SIGNAL SOMETIMES DOES NOT WORK, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS WET OUT- DEALER NOTIFIED AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE SOCKET (NOT A STOCK ITEM), THE BULBS ARE FINE IN THE BRAKE LIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL. *AK
SIRS, I HAVE SOME GENERAL CONCERNS, AND COULD NOT FIND ANOTHER AREA ON THE WEB SITE TO ADDRESS THEM: I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE SAME LIGHTS THAT MARK BRAKE USE, ALSO MARK TURNING. WHEN SOMEONE IS TAPPING BRAKES AND HAS TURN SIGNALS ON, IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT THEIR INTENTION IS. I ALSO DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE RUNNING LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TO DIM MY REAR VIEW MIRROR TO AVOID BEING DISTRACTED BY THESE LIGHTS, WHICH DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THESE LIGHTS.*AK
TURN SIGNAL SWITCH FAILED CAUSING THE HEADLIGHTS TO FLICKER WHEN TURN SIGNAL ACTIVATED. * ET
REPLACED HEADLAMPS.
HEAD LIGHT DASH SWITCH FAILED.
