THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLAMPS WILL GO OFF. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES THAT DURING THE DAY, THE MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAY, RADIO AND HVAC DISPLAYS WILL GO EXTREMELY DIM. IS THIS A FAULT WITH THE DAYLIGHT SENSOR? REGARDLESS, I DO NOT APPRECIATE HAVING A CAR GO DOWN THE ROAD WHERE THE HEADLAMPS GO OUT. I COULDN'T SEE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS AND COULD SEE AGAIN. NEXT TIME I STARTED THE CAR, EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I AM ENTERING THIS INFORMATION FOR MY MOTHER. *TR
