| Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 nissan titan. The headlight switch is on the end of the turn signal switch and has some slightly raised ridges. I have on at least five ocassions accidently turned off the headlights when going from high beam to low beam or when making a right hand turn. The light switch turns very easily and as my finges slide over the knob it turns the headlights to the off position. A very disturbing and frightening experience. I am an experienced driver having travel all over the u. S. And several european countries and this is an unnerving experience at night. I have complainted to the dealership and to nissan (reference # 4853986) but according to the dealership the switch works fine. I also know another titan owner and he has had the same experience. This is a serious safety issue that will get someone killed or injured. *ak |
