2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2019

This vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission. At night, when headlights are set on "auto," the illuminated gear indicator light adjacent to the shifter do not illuminate. This leaves the possibility of shifting the car into the wrong gear. These lights do illuminate with the lights set to manual. The specific incident occurred when an older driver parked the vehicle, thinking she had shifted into park, and instead, the vehicle began to reverse. Had she been able to visually verify the gear, this would not have happened.
