Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have replaced the headlights and/or flood lights 7 times, within the last 3 years. i've questioned the service representative repeatedly, believing there was a short in the car. finally, the last service representative admitted that there was a defect particular to this make and model car. i've researched to see if there was a recall, as i believed this was a severe safety hazard. if this was a common occurrence to this car what guarantee was there that both headlights won't go out at the same time. found several references to other owners having similar problems with the electrical system. i have found information of a recall.*ak
