| Description of the problem | Three separate occurrences of the led headlight malfunction light coming on, totally disabling headlights, daytime running lights, and blinkers. This is a huge safety concern as i primarily drive to work at night and headlights are obviously needed. This problem occurs in cold weather, the last occurrence at -6°f. Steps to replicate issue: 1) warm car up about 5 minutes. 2) drive to destination. Turn car off and let it sit 5-10 minutes. 3) start car back up and the led warning light appears. When this light comes on, you cannot turn on the lights with auto, or manual. The last occurrence happened during the day fortunately, but the headlights were in the off position. This has been taken to a dealer, but there was nothing they could do since the light was off even thought i had stressed to them this was a safety concern that needs to be looked at. .....
