Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AND WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF. I COULD NOT GET THEM TO COME BACK ON. I HAD TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER AND WAIT UNTIL THEY WOULD COME BACK ON. IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY TRAFFIC AROUND ME AT THE TIME THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO COLLIDE WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. *AK
