Consumer Description

INTERMITTENT CHECK LIGHTS CYCLES THROUGH AND SHOWS HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING, THEN BRAKE LIGHTS. WHEN I TAKE INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CHECK THE COMPUTER AND SAY THAT THERE IS NO HARD RECORDED ERROR. THE DANGER IS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND ONCE AT NIGHT TO WHERE MY CAR WAS LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE BLINKING ON AND OFF. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED WHEN BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T WORK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS NOTHING CAN BE FOUND. *TR
