HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH DEFECTIVE CAUSING DASH BOARD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS NOT TOO FUNCTION. IN ADDTION, THE MALFUNCTION SWITCH CAUSED AN ELECTRICAL MELTDOWN OF THE PIG TAIL CONNECTOR INTO DEFECTIVE SWITCH. I HAD TO REPLACE AT MY OWN EXPENSE THE SWITCH AND PIG TAIL CONNCECTOR. I MY OPINION, THIS IS A VEHICLE SAFETY HAZARD THAT SHOULD PROMPT A VEHCILE RECALL. I HAVE ALSO NOTICE A FEW OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT SUCH DEFECTS. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THE DEFECITVE PART AND ITS COMPONENTS. THERE SHOULD BE A MANATORY RECALL ON THIS VEHCILE FOR DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT SWITCHES. THIS DEFECT PART IS A SAFETY HAZARD, WHICH COULD CAUSE AND ELECTICAL FIRE, MOTORIST SAFETY HAZARD AND IN ADDTION TO NOT BE ABLE TO PASS THE MASSACHUESTTS MANADORTY SAFETY INSPECTION.

HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH DEFECTIVE CAUSING DASH BOARD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS NOT TO FUNCTION. IN ADDITION, THE MALFUNCTION SWITCH CAUSED AN ELECTRIC MELTDOWN OF THE PIG TAIL CONNECTOR GOING INTO THE SWITCH. I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH THE SWITCH AND PIGTAIL CONNECTORS. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT A FEW OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM HAD BEEN REPORTED. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND HAD TO PAY THE COST OF THE INSTALLATION OF THE SWITCH. THERE SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS DEFECTED PART COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRIC FIRE. IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MOTORIST. THE DEFECTIVE SWITCH WOULD CAUSE MY CAR TO FAIL MASSACHUSETTS SAFETY INSPECTION. *AK *JB **** DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS*****739867.

WHILE DRIVING 35MPH VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON & THEN VEHICLE STALLED OUT. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP. HAD VEHICLE TOWED. MECHANIC COULD NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM. RESTARTED VEHICLE & THEN CUT OFF AGAIN. TOOK TO DIFFERENT DEALER FOR REPAIRS. STALLING OUT OR CUTTING OFF PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. BEEN AT DEALERSHIP OVER A MONTH. *AK

I HAVE NOW REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS (VERY HARD TO FIND!) AND HAD 2 NEW SWITCHES INSTALLED FOR THE LIGHTING. I KEEP LOSING INTERIOR AND REAR EXTERIOR LIGHTING! THIS IS GETTING EXPENSIVE TO TRACK THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR. HELP! THE CAR IS IN OTHERWISE "FAIRLY" SOUND CONDITION. NEEDS NEW LEFT FRONT AXLE. RIGHT FRONT AXLE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.

IN JULY 2000, THE TRUNK SEAL FAILED RESULTING IN SUBSTANTUAL WATER LEAKAGE INTO THE TRUNK. WATER WAS HIDDEN UNDER TRUNK LINING UNTIL ENTIRE WHEEL WELL WAS FULL. ON OCTOBER 1ST THE 1ST TAIL LIGHT LITERALLY FELL OUT. UPON INSPECTION WE FOUND THE SECOND TAIL LIGHT WAS BEING HELD BY ONE PLASTIC PIECE. THE PROBLEM IS THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY TAIL LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, BACK INDICATORS, ARE HELD ON BY 4 OR 5 BOLTS AFFIXED TO PLASTIC HOUSINGS. THOSE HOUSINGS HAVE ALL BROKEN OFF AND THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS LEFT HANGING. A DANGER WHEN DRIVING SINCE THEY ARE HANGING OFF THE BACK OF THE CAR, AND A SAAFETY PROBLEM SHOULD THE WIRING FAIL AND NO ILLUMINATE THE TAIL LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND BLINKERS. REPLACEMENT TAIL LIGHTS ARE ESTIMATED TO BE $250.00 EACH AND STILL HAVE THE PLASTIC BOLT HOUSINGS WHICH WILL UNDOUBTABLY BREAK AGAIN.
