I HAVE A 2002 FORD F150 THAT HAS HEADLIGHTS GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED ONLY FOR IT TO REOCCUR. THIS IS NOT A MINOR PROBLEM TO ME AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM IS UNABLE TO MAKE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR A WEEK. I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT NOT EVERYONE HAS THAT PRIVELEGE AND I HAVE DECIDED TO SERVICE IT AT ANOTHER LOCATION. MAYBE MY VEHICLE IS THE ONLY ONE AND IT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED. BUT I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO VOICE MY CONCERN. LLC
