Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: First noticed the problem when i would forget to turn off my headlights after taking keys out. my inside light would start to blink also my warning for seat belts wasn't working. the last thing that happened was what alarmed me. i was traveling to work in the early morning with the headlights on. when i heard my low gas warning go off . all of a sudden my headlights started to blink on and off in sequence with the low gas warning. after work i check and the problem still existed then i filled up with gas and the lights worked fine. took the vehicle to the dealer and they found that the central timer module was bad. old part is not available it was just alarming for me and the driver in front of me when my lights started to blink i pulled and had to wait about 15 minutes for it to be light enough to get moving again. *jb
