I was driving down the street it was night and my lights completely went out I couldn't see it still doing it at night going off.

6 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 09/30/2013

This issue started approx 3 weeks ago. The head lights will not stay on they flicker off and on as if I was flashing my lights to alert another driver, when they are actually doing this on its on. This is not only a safety issue, but I'm afraid I will get pulled over by law officials. And my job requires me to have to be at work at night. This is very disturbing when this happens and they stay off at times for 30 to 40 seconds at a time and I'm having to hold the bright light arm to have lights. The passenger airbag light comes on from time to time saying it is not on, and there are brake issues as well.

7 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2011

While driving, all the lights on the dashboard light up simultaneously and then go dark (all of them). At the same time, all the gauges drop to zero, bounce to their max and then drop to a null state again. After this blinking event happens a few times, all of the monitoring systems and gauges return to a working state. When this happens, it does not seem to affect the driveability of the car (brakes, trans, etc. All still function). The first time it happened, it caused great concern for safety, as well as significant distraction while under way. The original date and mileage are estimated.
