At what mileage does the lighting typically fail?
Based on the 6 complaints filed, lighting issues most often appear around 77,418 miles. Some report problems earlier; some make it well past 150,000 with no symptoms. Maintenance habits matter — vehicles that received timely fluid services and were not regularly overworked tend to last longer.
