Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT CUT ON. THOUGH IT IS NOT ALL THE TIME IT DOES HAPPEN A GOOD 80% OF THE TIME AND MORE NOW THAN EVER. WHEN YOU UNLOCK THE LOCK THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER. THEN WHEN YOU GO TO CUT THE LIGHTS ON THEY WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF UNTIL THEY CUT COMPLETELY OFF AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL EITHER THE NEXT DAY OR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THE LIGHTS WILL NOT CUT ON IN MOTION OR AT A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO GO IN AND GET OFF WORK AT NIGHT. THIS CAN CAUSE ACCIDENT AND IS DEFINITELY CONSIDERED ENDANGERMENT.
