| Description of the problem | July 25, 2018: upon starting car while stationary in a parking spot, dash light and info clusters did not light up. Upon further inspection, driving and brake lights did not work or light up. Turned off car, re-started. All lights worked, then drove to an appointment approximately 5 miles away in suburban traffic. July 28, 2018: while parking the car in motion near our hotel in fredericksburg, va (marriott courtyard downtown) all car lights went out. Finished parking car while lights remained out and then went to dinner. Upon returning to car 1 1/2 hour later, lights went on after starting car. August 7, 2018: when my wife was driving the car in a suburban area in motion, all lights went out. She immediately drove home and we called the dealer for service. On august 15, 2018 the car was completed and was ready to take home, which we did without incident. September 17,2018: my wife was driving the car in a suburban area in motion with a friend in the passenger seat. Approximately 12 miles from home all lights went out. She stopped to check all outside lights and break lights to confirm they were not working. She immediately drove home in suburban traffic and then parked the car and we arranged for service (again!!!). With the car stopped in our driveway in park and the engine running, we both checked all the lights to confirm they were still out and that the break lights did not work which remained the case. Fault or problem that caused the risk is unknown. |
