Consumer Description

I HAD THE CAR STARTED AND TURNED THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND THE CAR STOPPED. DID SEVERAL TIMES SHUTTING OFF AND TURNING OFF. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL FLICKERS. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES EVERY THING BACK TO NORMAL. AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TRIED IT SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN AND I EVEN DECIDED TO TRY AND DRIVE AND TURN THE LIGHTS ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR STOPPED. WENT HOME STOPPED AT MY MAILBOX TO GET THE MAIL. TURNED CAR OFF, BACK ON, LIGHTS A FLASHING, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, DROVE INTO MY DRIVEWAY. TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK ON A FEW MORE TIMES. FINALLY WAS WORKING OK. AND IT HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS SINCE. AFRAID TO BE DRIVING THE CAR AT NIGHT THOUGH.
