Consumer Description

THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS REPEATEDLY DIM DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS UNSAFE AS IT CAN BE INTERPRETED BY OTHER MOTORISTS AS A "GO-AHEAD" SIGNAL OR AS A DELIBERATE AGGREVATION. UPON BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE AND NORMAL. NOTHING WAS WORKED ON OR FIXED. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER OWNING IT. THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT MADE APPARANT TO US BEFORE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. IF IT WERE AVAILABLE, WE WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS "DEFECTIVE" VEHICLE.*AK
