“Ambos focos delanteros se obedecen, las fechas exactas cuando lo llev al dealer para garanta de los focos no la recuerdo, pero fui en varias ocasiones. Me informaron que la especificacin del fabricante eran focos al aire, y que por eso se humedecian y no tenan garanta, que todos los de ese ao vinieron as. Me confirm y no regres para ese problema., aunque no tiene lgica, se compra un auto para que funcione todo normal y este no es el caso de ambos focos. Al pasar el tiempo el problema se ha agravado porque se humedecen mas y afecta la visibilidad. …”
