Description of the problem | I was driving on i-75 at night and my lights suddenly went out. The only thing that stayed on were my running lights. I pulled off to check car and front head lights and back lights were not functioning. Fortunately my flashers worked, so i managed to get home with my flashers flashing and dome lights on. My dash lights stayed on but dimmed periodically. It was a very dangerous situation. When i got close to home, all the lights came back on. I took it to dealership where they checked the car out and could find nothing wrong with the electrical system. I now don't trust the car and won't drive it at night. |
