“Since purchase of vehicle oct 2000 I have been in the shop 35 x for manufacturing problems. Ongoing problems include dimming of headlights at any given time and flickering of clock/radio display at any given time. Service attempted to fix the dimming and flickering by replacing the alternator, but it did not fix the problem. They are now unable to duplicate the problem.
