Consumer Description

LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO ILLUMINATE, BOTH IN AUTO AS WELL AS MANUAL MODE.

THIS VEHICLE MALFUNCTION IS HAZARDOUS AND POSES A THREAT TO THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD IS COMPLETELY AND UNEXPECTEDLY IMPAIRED WHEN THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION AS WELL AS LOWERED VISIBILITY OF THE VEHICLE TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD.
