- Electrical system · Exterior lighting
Headlights, not bulbs, failed in both. It is available for inspection. Creates driving hazard for all.The defect has been confirmed by shop and no other inspections at this time. I did communicate with dealer who said they are not covered under any warranty or recall, and acknowledged it is a factory defect. No warning lights. The problem first appeared in January of 2022.
- Electrical system · Exterior lighting
Both rear tail light covers are fogging and holding moisture droplets. Right side break light fails intermittently and before long may lead to electrical problems or loss of break light function. Car is just recently out of warranty so I don't anticipate any help from the dealer. The problem is consistent with other owners. Thank you.
