1 Headlights Turn Off While Driving problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2014

I was driving down the highway and have continuously gotten the "dipped light" warning on my display. My lights procceded to flicker and then shut off. I was driving right next to a car and had to pull over because the wouldn't come on. It took 15 minutes before the headlights returned to normal. I was extremely scared when my headlights turned off. This is a big safety issue and has occurred 3 times since then. I have replaced the bulbs and that did not solve the problem. I know there is a TSB for this problem, but I think there is a need for a recall as I almost got into an accident on the highway.

2 Headlights Turn Off While Driving problem

The right headlight will dip and then turn off while driving. You can turn the lights off and back on and it will temporarily solve the problem but will turn off again randomly. This problem has happened since I purchased the car cpo in late 2008 but has continued to get worse to the point where now it generally happens once every few minutes while the lights are on forcing me to continually turn the lights off and on the while driving which is very dangerous, not to mention extremely annoying to not only myself but other drivers as well.
