| Description of the problem | Purchased vehicle new in 2012. Currently at 112k miles. Over the past year i have noticed that when my light dial is in the "on" position and signaling right with the turn signal stalk in city conditions (5-30 mph) my headlights (and dash lights) will flicker off and back on. Light dial is at end of signal stalk and i initially concluded i possibly twist the stalk in a slight nature when driving to cause the issue but later concluded the dial is extremely sensitive to touch. I often keep the light dial in "auto" and usually only have it in "on" during rain conditions. Safety concern is relevant to not being able to see momentarily while turning or oncoming traffic thinking i am flashing my lights to signal them to go instead of me causing us to turn at the same time. Over the past three times driving this week, i have witnessed my lights turning on for about a minute and then back off while in "auto" driving in bright sunlight and no shade (occurred twice in one drive) and no signal stalk manipulation. This event caused me to take the lights to "off" which on my next excursion cause them to flicker on and then off while signaling right in city conditions. |
