This is the third time I had replaced this part in less than 18 months. I am a disabled veteran and I need to be able to rely on my car 100%. This problem is kind of like being grounded, having to be home before dark. I am in love with my car other than this issue. I realize a 16 year old car is no spring chicken, but it is my only transportation and I am on a very tight fixed income. The first time this repair happened, it was when I bought it from the dealership. My question... How did it pass inspection???? The dealership did not pay to replace this part because it was "as-is." So even before I drove it off the lot, it cost me $250.00. I then replaced the part in March 2018. Here it is September 11, 2018, and I have the same issue all over again. Each time I get my car fixed, it only lasts a few months. I use the car to go to the Veterans Hospital over 40 miles each way. My Dr. told me to watch my stress level as I have a risk of heart complications. This is a reason I have to go to the Veterans Hospital. Of course, this problem is VERY stressful. HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!!!

I had just left a sleep study clinic at 4 AM headed to have breakfast when all headlights failed leaving me in complete darkness. I drove to the hotel where my wife was staying and waited for the sun to come up.

I also need to replace the entire cluster of gauges because they are malfunctioning.

Yesterday, I ordered the temp control unit and can't wait to replace it so we can have defrosting capability and heat the cabin efficiently.

Finally, I need a wheel because the car did not come with a spare.

There, I feel better.
