Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN ABOUT TWO OURS LEFT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT TWICE BUT CAME BACK ON, ALMOST FLICKERING MOTION. NOTICED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INSIDE CAR FLICKERED AS WELL. HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN FOR THIRD TIME AND SO I PULLED OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND WAS FINE. CONTINUED DRIVING FOR ANOTHER 30 MINS WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT OUT DURING DRIVING. TOTAL BLACKNESS. THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP. TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND BACK ON AND WORKED FINE BUT HAD "SRS" AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. *TR
