Description of the problem	Electrical connectors for headlights and taillights have been repeatedly defective. We have had non-working headlights and taillights and brake lights on multiple occasions. When replacing what we thought were failed, burned out lamps, the lamps would work again just because i had begun removing the lamp. The jostling of the connector was sufficient to "fix" the condition. We have taken the car into the dealer for a fix on more than one occasion. On one of those occasions, the dealer had to order parts, which took several days to arrive. On one of those occasions, we were charged $20 for replacing a bad lamp, which i am sure was not the cause of the problem. Driving with a defective headlight or taillight is a dangerous situation. We keep lamps on hand in the car, so that we can show a law enforcement officer that we have a replacement in case we should be stopped for a defective headlight, taillight or stop lamp.
