Right side headlamp went out needing immediate replacement in order to see the road properly and safely. In order to repair, the front bumper had to be removed only at a dealer costing 1.5 hours and $145 of cost to replace a simple low beam headlamp. Many people cannot wait the 2 days wait and the exorbitant cost for this obviously simple procedure that threatens driving safety with only one working headlight.

In last 12 to 14 months to include today, the low beam headlight on passenger side has gone out. It has been repaired twice and now looking at a third time. I want to say this is an electrical issue as the last time it went out, sometimes it would come back on if I hit a bump. I will be getting it serviced again as not having a headlight working is a danger. The reason I am contacting NHTSA is I have talk to and read of multiple people having the same issue.

At random when driving down the road the radio will switch to aux. You can touch the dash on the side or around the radio and it will go back to radio. It will also switch sometimes when you put the car in drive, or turn on windshield wipers. You have to bump the side of the dash or the area around the radio for it to switch back also there is a noise where the steering is that sounds like something is knocking around under the car, and my dash lights sometimes will wait until I have driven several blocks before they come on. The rattling or knocking noise that is heard in the front on the drivers side really bothers me that something is ready to fall off or break. In October of 2012 I also had to replace turn signal lamps on the driver side rear I wouldn't think they should go out that quick.
