| Description of the problem | The headlights will randomly go out. Once in a while switching to high beam will help for a very short time, but usually i am completely without lights when it happens. There is no warning. The running lights do not even work anymore when that happens. I have been in a number of extremely dangerous situations because of this. I end up having to hope i can find a place to pull off the road, without being hit first, and turn the car off and on again until the lights finally work. Nothing else stops working, just the lights. There are so many complaints all over the internet for so many different model years i can't believe this hasn't been recalled yet. |
