problem #4

Nov 092005

Durango 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles
I own a 1998 Dodge Durango. The headlight switch has been replaced previously for failure to operate properly, ie: The headlights would not turn on. Subsequently, the replacement switch failed to operate properly however with slight inward pressure on the switch, the lights would come on. I have recently been informed that the switch will not pass state safety inspection in its current condition. I think there is a design flaw or manufacturing defect in this switch because of recurring failures, and since it has become a safety issue by decree of the state, I feel it should be examined nationwide for recall consideration.
