Consumer Description

WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING EITHER ONE HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT AND THEN COME BACK ON. THEN THE OPPOSITE HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT AND THEN COMEBACK ON. THEN SOMETIMES BOTH HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I'VE HAD PEOPLE FLASH THEIR LIGHTS AT ME THINKING I AM HIGH BEAMING THEM WHEN ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS TURN BACK ON. I ALSO HAD A SPUN BEARING IN THE BOTTOM END OF THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. I ALSO HAD MY VEHICLE STALL FOR NO REASON AT ALL. HAD MY MECHANIC LOOK AT IT HE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT MAYBE IT WAS THE BATTERY AND REPLACED IT. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT TO WHERE IT CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHT TO COME ON AND STAY ON. I'VE HAD THE DOOR SENSORS REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUE WITH THE DOOR AJAR FOR A LITTLE WHILE NOW. I'VE ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WITH BEARINGS LOCKING UP IN THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT THAT CAUSED A SEVERE BURNING SMELL AND CAUSED THE CAR TO NOT WANT TO START. THEREFORE I BELIEVE THERE IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR CAUSING ALL OF THESE ISSUES. *TR
