Civic 4-cyl

  • 24,500 miles
Main headlights failed for a time period (~15 minutes) at various times. Had the car for 2 years and problem occurred at least 4 times. The last time was last week when there was a terrible storm. First time when it was snowing really hard. The other two times the weather was just fine, no rain or snow. Took the vehicle to the Honda dealer twice, but both times the dealer said they can't do anything because they can't duplicate the problem. Very disappointed with Honda.
