Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE VEHICLE LIGHTS WENT OUT, NO HIGH BEAMS, NO DRIVING LIGHTS AT ALL, NO BLINKERS ETC. THE FLASHERS WORKED ONLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND IT CONTINUED TO RUNTURNED KEY BACK ON AND TURNED FLASHERS OFF AND SPUTTERED AND DIED, BUT THEN ONLY THE MIRROR AND TAIL LIGHT FLASHERS WORKED, NOTHING IN THE FRONT WORKED. WHEN ATTEMTED TO CHECK TO SEE IF LIGHTS WOULD COME ON OR FLASHERS THE WRENCH ICON WOULD APPEAR, ALL INSTRUMENT WARNING CAME ON TO CHECK BREAK SYSYTEM BUT STILL NO LIGHTS OR FLASHER. THIS WAS AN ETREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION DUE TO THE FACT WE WERE IN A DARK RURAL AREA ON A 2 LANE HWY AND COULD NOT SEE A THING. THE VEHICLE INTERMITITNGLY WILL NOT START AND WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. ALSO BACK UP SENSOR WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY AT TIMES, THE SOONEST WE CAN GET VEHICLE YO YHE SHOP IS NEXT TUESDAY.
