My "new" problem now is that when I drive at night on the highway, I'm experiencing intermittent but fairly severe rapid power pulses that are visible in the headlights and dashlights. It's so bad sometimes that I worry other drivers think I'm flashing my high beams. Seems clearly to be caused by a defective voltage regulator, but because the problem is intermittent, I'm sure the dealer won't be able to duplicate it.

I noticed the same power pulses while driving at night, and I have read on other forums that we're not the only ones. Have you spoke to the dealer about this problem?
