| While driving at 50 mph, noticed vehicle started to lose power. also, the automatic locks will lock only with vehicle is put into motion; and when trying to use the switch on the door, it doesn't work. when putting on high high beams they will work, but when cutting the high beam off, the regular lights won't work. it takes along time for the consumer to get the lights to work. *ak | |||
