Consumer Description
VEHICLE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY HEADLIGHTS, INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS START FLICKERING ON AND OFF. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT TWICE OWNING THE CAR JUST AT A YEAR. VEHICLE PARKED AT HOME DOORS LOCKED NEIGHBORS COME TO TELL ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT MY LIGHTS ARE ON. LIGHTS DO NOT HAVE THE "AUTO" OPTION. SO THE LIGHTS WERE OFF PRIOR TO LOCKING CAR. THE ONLY LIGHTS LITE AT THE TIME OF NEIGHBORS CONCERN WERE THE YELLOW HAZARD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS. UNLOCKING AND LOCKING THE CAR SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE. BUT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME HAPPENING. ALSO THE IN CABIN DOME LIGHT FLICKERS ON AND OFF IF LEFT ON THE "DOOR" OPTION. SO IT HAS TO BE LEFT ON "OFF". SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUE GOING ON. AS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. MOVING ON TO THE ENGINE ISSUE. VEHICLE IN DRIVE AT A RED LIGHT IDLING THE ENGINE WILL JUST STALL OUT OF NOWHERE VEHICLE SEEMS TO JERK AS IF IT WANTS TO TAKE OFF. I FIND MYSELF APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE BECAUSE IT SCARES ME. IT NEVER SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY HOWEVER IT DOES THIS SO RANDOM THAT AND ISSUE CAN NOT BE FOUND.
