What owners wrote
Dt*: the contact stated there was a warning light on the dashboard stating "lamp out" which illuminated intermittently. This was always accompanied by one or both of the headlights ceasing to function. The headlight switch was shut off, then turned back on. This temporarily fixed the problem. The vehicle was not seen by a service dealer.
Turn signals!!!!!!, turn on left the right one flashes!! Bright lights stick on, and sometimes my wipers work when turning brights off. The turn signal ordeal while trying to turn in downtown colorado springs, was not a good deal.... I got many middle fingers.
