“On 1/3/09 while driving down highway at night, headlights turned off. A few seconds later the lights came back on. After driving about 25 - 30 miles the lights did the same thing. It was -50 degrees outside at the time. I have not had any problems since except the vehicle burned up on 1/21/09 for unknown reason.”
