Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Driver's side low-beam headlight burnt out. discovered that there are no "after-market" headlight bulbs available. low-beam headlights must be dealer-serviced. fortunately dealer will repair under 50,000 bumber to bumber warranty. however, low-beam headlights for this model require replacing an entire assembly, not just the bulb. informed by dealer that this component is no longer being manufactured by oem supplier and is now on national backorder. auto being operated without headlight for 2-months now and still no replacement parts. major problem is that i operating an auto without headlights is a moving violation in georgia and therefore should not be driven after dark. *ak
