- The problem
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The instructions for properly aiming the headlighting system were omitted. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
- The risk
- If the headlamp assemblies are replaced, customers may not be able to properly aim the headlights.
- The fix
- Owners will be sent aiming instructions, and directions for affixing these inserts to the owner guides. If an owner so desires, a dealer can affix the inserts in their owner guide for them.

While driving the vehicle dash lights are continuously illuminated. Took vehicle to dealer, and nothing was remedied. Main computer may be the reason for the malfunction. Also, brakes are failing and airbags do not work. *Jg
Brakes light portions of the taillight melt and deform. While the optics of the taillight lens is degraded there is also internal deformation that makes it impossible to remove and replace the bulb, when it burn out. The deformation of the lens causes it to be nearer to the heat of the bulb causing continued deformation. Ultimately the lens will contact the bulb and probably cause it to break. When the bulb burns out or break the entire taillight assembly will have to be replaced. All due to design flaw that manifests itself whenever the brake lights are on for an extended period of time.
While driving at night headlight switch button broke, fell apart, causing complete headlight failure, and resulting in poor visibility. Consumer has contacted the manufacturer. *Ak
