WELL, I bought my car August 17th 2016, two days after I had to replace my tail lights (brake and running lights). At first I was cool about it because you know sh*t happens. A day after replacing those light BOTH MY DAMN HEADLIGHTS AND BRIGHTS WENT OUT. Cool whatever was still pissed but sh*t happens. A week after that my passenger front light went out again. Then three days after that my damn driver side went out again. Let me also state that after I spent $40 each for the best damn lights my sh*t was bright for about all but two hours then my lights were dim again. I can not see with my low beams on and even with my high beams I can't barely see sh*t either. I have repeatedly replaced my light every month for the past year, every body tells me to check for a recall but I haven't seen anything yet. maybe if I rant over and over again SOMEBODY WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT SINCE THE DEALER SHIPS ARE PIECES OF SH*TS AROUND HERE. I don't think its cool to keep spending $80 bucks every two weeks for my lights. Hopefully something comes up because I am not the only one who is going through this. About 5 of my friends have the same car (I know we are wack) but we all have electrical problems with our lights going out or not being bright enough!!!!!!!! HELP YA GIRL OUT WITH A RECALL BECAUSE THIS SH*T IS PISSING ME OFF.
