NHTSA complaint #568354, filed 2002-12“The interior lights blink on an off while driving. At the same time this happens, the door locks do not work and the automatic seat button does not work. This happens sporadically, then it stops. A week goes by and it happens again. Last week, while driving at night, the headlights were blinking on and off. The dealer cannot find a specific problem unless it is happening when it is at the shop. Every time I get near the shop it does not do it.”
