| Wires keep getting cut by the car harness, why are the wires located in the harness? this is getting dangerous driving without brake lights is a hazard. the fuel line / pump has never worked correctly, and who ever heard of a transmission going out at 50,000 miles. please note i have never towed anything with this car and i am a very careful female driver without any accidents or speeding tickets, oil is changed every 3,000 miles, all highway driving. please help! this car is a disaster and a hazard. the leaking fuel line could have killed me, no brake lights...obvious issue. thank you! liz zimmer. | |||
| EXTERIOR LIGHTING - HEADLIGHTS - SWITCH | |||

| EXTERIOR LIGHTING - TURN SIGNAL | |||

| Each rear tail light assembly circuit board had to be replaced. these occurred at different times (approximately 6 months apart). now, about a year later, the right rear needs to be replaced again. this was found due to the blinker and brake light failing, so i switched the bulb from the other side, with the exact same results, so i know it is the circuit and not a bad bulb. *jb | |||

| Right rear turn signal failed to operate; in-dash indicator properly indicated failure by rapid flash. with great difficulty, opened taillight assembly; found light bulb not failed; can not properly re-assemble and gasket is not sold separately to permit re-assembly. had to replace 'circuit board' which connects to wiring harness to sockets; cost is $70 (seventy dollars) although 'circuit board' is wiring only and has no components; dealer parts clerk helpfully advised the circuit boards fail all the time -- there isn't a recall, but there should be a recall. system is designed to virtually require replacement of entire turn signal/backup/taillight unit for $127 (one hundred twenty-seven dollars) with dealer-only parts, precluding any field repairs on trips, etc; causing great likelihood that turn signal will not function for extended periods of time because of trouble and cost of replacing the unit. *la | |||
