1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 07/03/2017

The front lights on both sides go out without warning. I change out the bulbs and they work intermittently. As I was driving over colima road toward whittier, CA on the way home, one light went out and then the other. Colima rd is an unlit road. I don't drive at night. I have spent over 150. 00 on mechanics trying to get it fixed. I read on the internet that many are having the same problem. This item should be investigated, and in my opinion should be recalled by the manufacture.
