Electrical System problem #1

When using my directionals the high beams flash on then off by themselves. Progressively getting worse. Unsafe for other vehicles in front of me.

Wiring problem #2

My car has an active recall for a trailer wiring harness. I have had the harness inspected by my dealer four times, and they claim it is not a factory-installed harness, despite it being in your database. The harness was on the car when I purchased it. I cannot explain why it is different than the recalled wiring harness. I had a trailer hitch added to my vehicle shortly after purchase, but the shop did not add a wiring harness because one was already on the car. However, I use the hitch only to attach a bike rack. I have never hauled a trailer with this vehicle, and feel there is therefore no safety hazard. Please remove my vehicle from your recall records. The recalled wiring harness apparently was never installed on my vehicle.
