NHTSA complaint #10652447, filed 2014-11, 168,000 miles“The low beam lights suddenly stop working. They were working today during the daytime and I had them on. As it got dark the lights would not come on. I turned the light switch on and off to make sure they were on. I pulled over and turned the car on and off again but did not fix problem. The high beams worked so I had to drive with those on (except everyone kept flashing me on the way home). I stopped at autozone to get a new fuse and relay fuse. That did not work. When I got home I pulled all the fuses and then put them back in. Car said no key fob but I did have it. …”
