HEAD LIGHTS ON CAR WILL INTERMITTENTLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. MANY TIMES IT WILL JUST BE FOR A FEW SECONDS. HOWEVER CAN LAST FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I NOW KNOW THAT THE BRIGHTS CONTINUE TO WORK. ALTHOUGH DID NOT KNOW THIS AT THE TIME I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN THE DESERT WITH CHILDREN AND NO CELL PHONE SERVICE. I ALSO DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH BRIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME DUE TO THE BRIGHTS BEING SO BRIGHT AND FEAR I MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT FOR ANOTHER DRIVER.

I BOUGHT THIS LOVELY CAR AND THOUGHT I GOT A GREAT DEAL-NOW I WONDER WHAT I WAS THINKING!! THE CAR DROVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP BEAUTIFULLY, BUT AFTER 5 DAYS OF OWNING IT I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT 70MPH AND THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. I NOW HAVE THAT PROBLEM ANY TIME I DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON WHILE THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED AND LAST NIGHT I LOOKED OUTSIDE, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. NOTHING I DID WOULD MAKE THEM STAY OFF OTHER THAN DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. THE ELECTRICAL ON THIS CAR IS OBVIOUSLY A NIGHTMARE AND I WILL BE LOOKING IN TO TRADING THIS CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE :(
