What owners wrote
Headlights are not bright enough to view the road clearly due to the design of the headlight lens. Please give any further details.
Every time I turn on my left or right turn signal it shorts out.... Took to a mechanic and he did some re wiring and it worked for a little bit then started to happen again.... I don't want to spend a bunch of money on it anymore. What should I do?
