Right dipped headlamp issue resulting diagnosis after new headlamp ($125) and issue still continued with need to replace headlamp ignition now ($950). I see online at this is been a recurring problem in models from my year? And believe should be some type of weed call and reimbursement. The issue occurred sporadically seeming to be fixed only to go back out with no specific reason...both sitting, driving, turning corners, or hitting bumps. This create a safety issue of particularly when the headlamp goes out at night.
