Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)DRIVING TO WORK (IN THE DARK) THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. PULLED THE CAR OVER AND TURNED THE HEADLAMP SWITCH TO ON AND THEY STARTED WORKING (WAS IN AUTO SENSOR MODE). NEXT DAY WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE HOUSE I TURNED THE HEADLAMP SWITCH ON, HEADLIGHTS POPPED UP BUT DID NOT COME ON. I COULD TURN THEM TO HIGH BEAM AND THEY WORKED BUT NOT ON LOW. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR AND SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH FROM HIGH TO LOW BEAM SEVERAL TIMES, THE LOW BEAMS STARTED WORKING AGAIN.
THE PLASTIC PIECE ATTACHING THE HEADLIGHT VERTICAL ADJUSTING MECHANISM TO THE HEAQDLIGHT FRAME BROKE AND FELL OFF, CAUSING LARGE SHIFTS IN THE HEADLIGHT AIM DUE TO ROAD IRRREGULARITIES.

THIS DISCOURAGES PROPER REPAIR OF THIS SAFETY RELATED ISSUE.
