WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY I DID HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS GOING COMPLETELY OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THE BLINKED OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR A REPAIR AND MENTIONING ALL THE LITTLE THINGS THAT WERE NOT WORKING BEFORE THE WARRRANTY WAS UP I HAD MENTIONED THAT ALONG WITH A FEW OTHER MINOR COMPLAINTS. THE DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS. I DID HAVE A PROBLEM ALSO WITH THE ALIGNMENT AND THEY SAID THAT WAS FINE ALSO AND IT WAS NOT FIXED. BUT IT DEFINATLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THAT ALSO. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME LATER ON WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. BUT THEY DID COME BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS. IT IS A VERY SCARY FEELING WHEN DRIVING IN THE COUNTRY AT NIGHT AND THE LIGHT GO OUT. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE NOW. MY VEHICLE HAS 55,000 ON IT. I THINK THAT IS TO PREMATURE TO HAVE SUCH AN EXPENSIVE SAFETY PROBLEM. I DID CALL THE DEALER AND HE SAID THAT THE LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR REPLACEMENT IS LIKE $1,200. THEY ONLY MADE THAT LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR 2 YEARS AND I CAN SEE WHY. IT IS FAULTY. HAS THERE BEEN OTHER PROBLEMS? PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 201, "OCCUPANT PROTECTION IN INTERIOR IMPACTS." THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CONSOLE COVER/ARMREST CAM LATCH THAT COULD RELEASE AT LESS THAN THE REQUIRED LOAD OF THE STANDARD.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: DURING A CRASH, THE CONSOLE COVER COULD OPEN AND THE COVER OR ITEMS STORED UNDER IT COULD INJURY AN OCCUPANT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CONSOLE LATCH MECHANISM.
THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS WERE BUILT WITH A CANDELA VALUE GREATER THAN 2,600, ARE LOCATED LESS THAN 100MM FROM THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD WARNING LAMPS, AND ARE NOT DEACTIVATED WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL OR HAZARD WARNING LAMPS ARE ACTIVATED. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION WOULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR DRIVERS OF ONCOMING VEHICLES TO SEE THE TURN SIGNAL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW BODY CONTROL MODULE AND REPROGRAM THE VEHICLE WITH A NEW CALIBRATION THAT WILL TURN THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS OFF WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL OR HAZARD WARNING FLASHER IS ACTIVATED.
