The limited model had a auto headlight feature to turn on the headlights at night, and stopped working. Turning the headlights to the regular "on" position turned on the high beams, and eventually failed entirely. We had a 3rd party mechanic replace the headlamps with after market ones, but this did not fix the problem. The wiring harness had to be replaced, as it had melted from repeated testing and misuse of high beams. Was the most expensive repair cost on this car, and a very rare one too. Car was 15 years old though, and was probably going to happen eventually.
Car is totaled from an accident, so no need for advice on how to fix or what I could have done better.
