Default Illuminated door sill problems...

ever since i took delivery of my car I have had some issues with the illuminated door sills. At first it was the driver's side which would flicker every once in a while. Now the driver's side is fine but the passenger side is out completely.

Anyone else have any problems?

Seems like i will have to make my first trip back to the dealership to fix it.

Take it back. Obviously a wire connection is loose.

Default Illuminated Sills

My sills also blink every now and then.

I was told they sometimes will flicker, but NOT go out as in your case.

Still, these DO look nice! I hope your dealer can resolve these quickly.

That's precisely why I left that option off. They look very nice, but not sure I need another thing that contributes little that can go wrong.

Mine are on at standstill and then they go out and about 3 seconds after I stop they re-illuminate. This appears to be due to a correlation betwen the speed of light and the speed i am driving.
