MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING A HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. IT STARTED THE MIDDLE OF 2007 AND IS STILL HAPPENING. I REPLACED THE SWITCH BOX IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE PROBLEM HAD STOPPED. IN JANUARY 2008 THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAPPENS MAINLY AT NIGHT, THE LIGHTS WILL BE ON THEN THEY JUST GO OUT AND SOMETIMES THEY TAKE LONGER THAN A SECOND TO COME BACK ON. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE AT NIGHT WHEN I DON'T HAVE LIGHTS I CANNOT SEE. ONE OF THESE TIMES, I WILL GO INTO THE DITCH. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
