Consumer Description

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AT RANDOM TIMES. I AM THE SECOND OWNER PURCHASED THE 2002 MODEL IN 2003. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE HAD THE CAR. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT IT IS NORMAL / NOT MAJOR AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT. IT IS ANNOYING AND STARTLING TO ME, ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM DRIVING ON A DARK ROAD. WHEN IT HAPPENS, I GET AN ADRENALINE RUSH AND AUTOMATICALLY FEAR THERE IS A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THAT THE CAR MIGHT SHUT DOWN AT ANY MOMENT. I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. I ALSO WORRY THAT OTHER DRIVERS MAY INTERPRET IT AS SOME SORT OF SIGNAL. *TR
