I had headlight problems and the headlights failed completely, then the horn failed and the brake lights...it cost me $1500 to have my wiring redone and the headlights are still dim. I also have a problem with my dashboard lights coming on for check engine, battery and airbag. I took it to 2 dealers and nothing with this problem was fixed.
