Consumer Description

LIGHTS WERE IN AUTO POSITION, DROVE APPROX. 6 MILES WITH THEM ON AND RUNNING. MAD A STOP AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, WHEN I RESTARTED IT AND STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY I REALIZED MY LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ON. HAD TO PUT THEM IN THE REGULAR ON POSITION TO RUN THEM. STOPPED THE CAR MANY TIMES, RESTARTED IT TRYING TO GET THE LIGHTS TO WORK IN AUTO BUT HAD NO LUCK. GOT HOME LET THE CAR SET 30 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR WITH THE LIGHTS IN AUTO AND THEY CAME ON FINE. WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 60MPH? SAFETY ISSUE!!! I AM VERY LEARY OF THIS CAR AND ITS SAFETY ON MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS! *TR
