    The driver's side low beam will come on then go off. After awhile it comes back on for a few seconds then goes out again. The vehicle can be sitting running or going down the road and will do the same thing.

    Headlamp (low beam projection)repeatedly shuts off after few minutes driving. I know that some police vehicles have this problem and they have been recalled. Can no longer use my personal car after sunset. Local dealer will repair but at my expense. This is a big deal safety issue that i shouldn't have to worry about.
