| Description of the problem | When diving at night on the streets or on the freeway i have experienced my headlights and interior light flickering and then the turning off completely momentarily. This has happened on a very rural winding road where i feared for my life because i could see nothing for a few second when the lights came back on. I am now afraid to drive my car at night. This does not happen all of the time but it did happen last night when going over a railroad crossing, which is why i decided to file a complaint. |
