MY HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AND AFTER I REPLACED THE BULBS, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. AFTER FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY CAR HAD A CORRODED RELAY JUNCTION. IT ENDED UP COSTING ALMOST $2000 TO REPAIR. I HEARD FROM THE MECHANIC AND REPORTS ON LINE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WORTH REPORTING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT RANDOMLY COMING ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, MAKING ONE BELIEVE THE VEHICLE'S CHARGING SYSTEM IS IN NEED OF REPAIR. WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED IT WAS RECOMMENDED SINCE I WAS TRAVELING CLOSE TO 200 MILES EVERYDAY, THAT I HAVE THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED AS IT WAS THOUGHT A DIODE WAS GOING OUT. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED, AND THE VEHICLE STILL HAS THIS LIGHT COME ON AND ILLUMINATE, MAKING YOU THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM. EVEN WHEN LIGHT IS ON THE CHARGING SYSTEM IS OPERATING AS IT SHOULD. ALL COMPONENTS ARE GOOD. IT RANDOMLY COMES ON AND STAYS ON, UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, SOMETIMES A COUPLE CYCLES OF THE KEY IS NEEDED. I HAVE SEEN ON FORUMS WHERE OWNERS HAVE PAID SOME MAJOR DOLLARS TRACKING THIS ISSUE. PROBLEM IS SINCE IT IS RANDOM, THE CAR'S DRIVER DOESN'T KNOW WHETHER THERE IS AN ISSUE OR NOT. THE ALTERNATOR ITSELF WITHOUT LABOR WAS AROUND $300 (ESTIMATED). ISSUE USUALLY OCCURS AT STARTUP AND REMAINS UNTIL VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. ISSUE LAST OCCURRED ON THE MORNING OF 02/19/ 2020 AT APPROXIMATELY 7:00 AM
