10/19/2007 | 32000 | 5 | |
Front left turn signal/parking light keeps burning out. both sides have been replaced with new sockets costing around $400.00, right after the warranty expired. since then the left side has gone out 3 more times in the last year costing $45.00 each time. it is impossble to reach the bulb to replace it yourself. dealer insists that the parking lens was cracked causing moisture to enter the socket. when insepcting the vehicle, there is no crack.. now they say its the seal around the parking lens. i just replaced another burnt out bulb 6 weeks ago and it happened again. it also has not rained to cause any moisture in the last 6 weeks. | |||
