Owner Complaints (9)
Your headlights won't turn on when you flip the switch, even after nearly $200 in diagnostic work. The repair shop found that wiring in the steering column has become frayed and damaged, likely from repeated use of the tilt steering wheel adjustment. You're currently using daytime running lights as a temporary workaround, but this is a safety concern since the lights failed while you were driving in the dark. The repair will likely involve replacing or rewiring the headlight circuit in the steering column.
