What owners wrote

I bought this car from a dealership called drive now in lebanon tennessee. About 2 miles after signing and trading my vehicle for this one the ESC, tc off, check engine, low tire pressure sensor lights all came on on the dash. I took it to them 4 different times now and they stated to me it's an electrical problem and they claimed to have fixed it!! A month later it all began again.

Reported at 101,880 miles, August 2018 Fire

Low beam headlights kept going out on both sides. Occurred numerous time at night requiring the continuous use of high beams. After replacing the bulbs with recommended wattage 3-4 separate times over a 5 month time span took car into the dealership. Dealership service found that the bulb connectors were melted due to the terminal being spread, and the high amperage required to run headlight caused heat to build up and melt connector.
