Example complaints

“Purchased vehicle new in 2012. Currently at 112k miles. Over the past year I have noticed that when my light dial is in the on position and signaling right with the turn signal stalk in city conditions (5-30 MPH) my headlights (and dash lights) will flicker off and back on. Light dial is at end of signal stalk and I initially concluded I possibly twist the stalk in a slight nature when driving to cause the issue but later concluded the dial is extremely sensitive to touch. I often keep the light dial in auto and usually only have it in on during rain conditions. …”
