THE VEHICLE HAD NO PARKING LIGHTS OR HEADLIGHTS DUE TO A FAILED LAMP CONTROL MODULE. PLEASE DESCRIBE FURTHER. *PH THE SECOND FAILURE, THE VEHICLE CUT OFF. THE FIRST AND THIRD FAILURE THE LIGHTS WOULDN'T COME ON OR GO OFF. AFTER THE THIRD FAILURE AND TWO FAILED BATTERIES, THE CONSUMER LEARNED OF A RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP THEN STATED THE VEHICLE WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER FOUND THIS TO BE COINCIDENTAL BEING AS THOUGH HER VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT AS STATED IN THE RECALL. *PH ALSO THE REAR SEAT BELT DID NOT PULL OUT. *JB

TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL TOO DIM TO SEE IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT. DURING MODERATE TURN THE SIGNALS WILL NOT CANCEL AND CONFUSES OTHER DRIVERS. HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISSES. SHOULD BE EASY FOR FACTORY TO INCREASE WATTAGE ON THE PANEL LAMPS.

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT FAILURE, DASHBORAD FAILURE COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD OR DASHBORAD. TT
THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP LENS HAS AN INCORRECT AIM PAD NUMBER ON THE LENS. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: IF THESE HEAD LAMPS ARE RE-AIMED USING A MECHANICAL AIMING DEVICE THAT UTILIZES THE AIMING PAD NUMERS, THE RESULTANT AIM WOULD BE OUT OF THE SPECIFIED RANGE. THIS MAY CAUSE A VISIBILITY PROBLEM INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP ON VEHICLES WITH THE CORRECT OUTBOARD LOWER PAD NUMBER.
