All of the lights including the time / radio station become dim. On december 26th although the lights are set on automatic, the lights did not come on at night. We manually had to switch so that we would have lights. We have also on two-three occasions an issue with the transmission and/or accelarator. The RPM on the car where very high and the car was basically not going over 35-40 MPH. …”
