“Lt low beam comes on for 3 seconds when car is unlocked, then stays off most of the time. I've tried all switch positions. Occasionally it has come on for sustained periods but that hasn't happened for a while. I've wiggled the bulb connection with no effect. Checking on line, I found similar problems similar problems are happening. The dealer service dept. Acted ignorant of such problems and checked the recall list. I'm lucky, it only happens on one side, but I'm uneasy about when the other side goes out. Not to mention getting a citation for a non functioning safety item.”

NHTSA complaint #10651919, filed 2014-11, 96,800 miles“While driving about 30mph in my neighborhood, all of a sudden, my van's horn started honking, the wind shield blades began wiping very quickly and water was spraying over the windshield. Also, the automatic locks were going up and down and the car lights and blinkers were flashing on and off uncontrollably. It was very scary! I stopped the car and shut off the engine, but everything continued. Luckily I was not far from home and was able to carefully drive it there. Once in the driveway, the only way to get the car to quit was to disconnect the battery. Waiting on repair report.”
