Headlights problems of the 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer

Headlight not working.

The ecu is bad and the headlights will turn off while driving there is many complaints on the internet about this but they refuse to acknowledge its an issue and want near 1000 $ to fix the issue. We have had the light turn off while driving several time causing my wife to panic and causing alarm that could have resulted in an accident.

Low beam, daylights and high beam headlights will randomly turn off while driving. This is a recall for etacs ecu on 2009 Lancers manufactured between Jan 12, 2009 and July 6, 2010. My car was manufactured on Nov, 2008. Reference r/2015/157. Right now is unsafe driving this vehicle during nights. I notice on the internet that there's a lot of complains for the same model and year but where not included in the recall because where fabricated in 2008 having the same spare parts (etacs ecu) used in the recall vehicles.

I feel this recall needs to be revised as my car has the same issue as what others have reported that were part of the recall. This seems more than just a coincidence.
