Electrical 1

Low beam headlights randomly turn off while driving at night and day. Causing not to be able to see the roadway at all. Very dangerous!!! They give no warning at all. Only the low beams do this. Bright lights are not affected. There was a recall for this issue but they said my car was not affected. But it is 100% affected by this recall. Ot seems like the Headlamp driver module is overheating. It gets extremely hot. This issue almost caused a very serious accident .

Taken car to dealership for computer analysis and was told that the issue was caused by P0420cataylic converter needed to be replaced. I had cataylic converter replaced elsewhere and noticed that wasn't the problem. After doing some research I found that ignition switch is the reason my car stalls while driving. There was a Product Safety Recall (14299) Ignition key rotation and replaced on 10- 8-20 but I'm having the same problem.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. OCCASIONALLY WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT WILL GO OFF. IT IS MY CONCERN THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULD OR IT WILL DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED AND THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. THIS ALL HAPPENS EITHER STATIONARY AND/OR IN MOTION.
