Default headlight leveling system

Hi Everyone,

I've just had my headlamp leveling system sensor replaced for the 2nd time. My car has only 100k on it, and these repairs have exceeded $1000. Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions/suggestions?

1G seems excessive. Do you have the breakdown parts and labor.

Yup, Parts were $350 each time, with approx $150 labor each time.

seems high to me as well. I'm concerned with the failure of a critical part of the vehicle's operation and the cost of keeping it working. I've told by the dealer it's a design flaw and a common problem in the Northeast. They say that moisture/snow corrodes the sensor causing it to fail.

Was checking out others experience.

oh,thats nice,I live in the north east too.I have also stopped using my hid`s on the auto position.I feel it saves bulb life that way.Ex.pulling in/out of garage every day,they would come on/off.And less strain on bettery(at night they come on when you turn your key on,and don`t shut down during starting)Thats how i see it any way.
