"takata recall" while driving at night on a county road and switching from low beams to high beams, the headlights went completely dark and did not come back on until switching back to low beams. After inspection, noticed the day runners also were not working. All fuses were plugged in and good. Replacing the relay did not fix the problem described herein.

My car is a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire, and twice within 12 months I have had the same problem with this vehicle. The day time running lights and the bright lights quit working, the 1st time the dealership said it was a bad wire and replaced it, within one year it happened again, but the dealership said that the part was only warranted for 1yr or 12,000 miles of which the vehicle had been driven over the 12,000 miles, therefore I am having to pay again (twice in one year ) for the same problem. This is ridiculous!
