There is a "campaign" out for the headlight problem-if you take it to the dealer, they will install a resistor pack in the headlight circuit. It seems the headlights overheat and burn out, and this at least moves the heat somewhere else in the car. It was a freebie at the dealer, and they replaced the burned-out headlight while it was in. But I was still under 50k miles when I got it taken care of.

It seems the resale value of these in my area is around 9-10k, which is less than I owe on the damn thing. My wife and I desperately want to get rid of the vehicle even though we've got a 100k extended warranty on it. It's too expensive of a vehicle to keep leaving at the dealer. I have less trouble with my 210k mile Mazda or my '68 truck.

Oh, by the way, we picked it up from the dealer yesterday morning, and it had a new issue by the time my wife got to work.
