Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE OTHER NIGHT, MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF ON THEIR OWN. THE HEADLIGHT SETTING WAS SET TO AUTO AND THEY FLICKERED TWICE BEFORE SHUTTING ALL THE WAY OFF. AT THIS TIME I WAS ON A DARK ROAD WITHOUT STREETLIGHTS. THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY IMMEDIATELY WAS TO TURN THE HEADLIGHT SETTING TO ON RATHER THAN AUTO. THIS ALSO HAPPENED THIS MORNING AS IT WAS RAINING BUT I FIGURED THAT WAS DUE TO GLOOMY WEATHER.
