Owner report 10177424 · 2006-12-31 (December 31, 2006)

THE LIGHT BULBS FOR BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND REVERSE LIGHTS SPONTANEOUSLY STOP WORKING FOR UNEXPLAINED REASONS AND THEN START WORKING AGAIN. THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WILL FLASH ONLY WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF, BUT AS SOON AS HEAD LIGHTS ARE ON, IT JUST STAYS LIT WITH NO FLASH. THE BULBS ARE ALL CORRECT AND NOT BURNED AND THIS HAPPENS VERY SPORADICALLY. *NM
