NHTSA Complaint #10142339 — 1998 DODGE DURANGO

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. *JB
