Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | As i was driving, i slowed down used my turn signal and as i made the turn and completed it the interior light and head lights shut off or begin to flicker. You have to jiggle the end of the stem to get the lights to turn back on. I changed the setting from auto to just the headlights and the same thing happened again. It mostly occurs with the left turns, but can occur with the right turn signal. I occurred once when i first purchased the car in 2014 but then did not become a problem until now. It is very dangerous to be driving down the road at night and lose your headlights. Also it causes the headlights to flicker at other drivers and they may think that i am having other issues. I also have a 16 year old daughter who is driving my car and it concerns me that this had happened when she is driving and may not be able to know what to do to fix the situation. |
