| While driving at night, my lights turned off by themselves on a dark rural road. if i hadn't jammed on the brakes, i would have eaten the railing or worse. turns out the (lcm) lighting control module, is defective. when i looked it up online, it seems that many cars are having this issue, even my local police department. this is a big safety issue and needs to be addressed immediately. the dealer wanted to charge $578 plus 2 hours labor for a part that goes under the dash. | |||
