NHTSA complaint #10178932, filed 2007-01, 175,000 miles“Turned the headlights on. The headlights went out while traveling down the road in complete darkness. They came on for a short time and went out, again. They stayed out. Luckily I was only traveling at 25 MPH and wasn't too far from the house. I feel this is a serious failure.”
