What owners wrote

When driver turned on the directional signal light switch to make a turn either left or right, the turn signal switch won't return to place unless the consumer did it manually or made a wider turn. Also, when the light is being used to turn to left, consumer has to turn to right so the blinking light can stop.

January 1999

The low beam headlights are dim I have replaced the bulbs with brighter bulbs and they are still dim I have to drive with the fog lights on all the time in order to drive at night.
