| Description of the problem | My car interior lights have been going out intermittently for over a year now, and my stereo bluetooth system is totally out as well. My signal lights intermittently go out. Signaling is a big issue because if people don't know i am coming over it could cause an accident. Also, as a result of my hands free capabilities being gone i am forced to wait for important communications at times because my commute is long. |
