What owners report
The brake lights do not work, the turn signals do not work, there is one tail light working at the lower right rear. Front parking lights work but front turn signals so not work. The cab brake light works. The turn signal flasher works and the dashboard turn arrows work but the flasher goes to hyper flash. The emergency lights do not work, the flasher switch works. The turn signal in the mirror left or right does not work. I really do not know how long this has been going on.
Purchased new Aug 2019 in PA. Headlights had condensation behind them within the first month. Brought it into the service dept. in Bedford PA. Was told they wouldn't do anything with it because the issue would resolve with the air port in the back of the headlight assembly. The situation did not resolve, took it back multiple times and they refused to replace headlight assembly while it was under warranty. Now there is an inch of water in the headlight, and the bottom right blinker quit working. Of course now it is out of warranty, and the dealership in WI where I moved is quoting me $1500 to replace the headlight assembly and seal.
