Consumer Description

Headlights flash on and off for no apparent reason which is distracting to other drivers both in front of me or approaching my vehicle. This happens all of time now most recently for no apparent reason but I first noticed it more than a year ago. Headlights also go on and off and start to self level multiple times after car has been turned off. This has happend on a number of occasions as well. Normally the rotary light switch is always set in the AUTO position in my car. I have also noticed it happen when the car in parked and off, which can drain the battery.
