Consumer Description

I WAS ENTERING ONTO A PARKWAY AT 05:30 HOURS, DAY-BREAK, WHEN MY HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. I TURNED THE ON/OFF SWITCH, FLICKED THE HI-BEAMS, NO LIGHTS. I PULLED THE DRIVING LAMPS SWITCH, THEY CAME ON. I DROVE FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THE HEADLIGHTS CAME ON. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT SINCE THIS EVENT. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL SERVICE CENTER AND WE EXPERIMENTED WITH THE HEAD LIGHTS. CAR RUNNING, DRIVERS WINDOW DOWN...TURNED HEAD LIGHTS ON, PARKING LIGHTS CAME ON BUT HEAD LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON. TURNED ON LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND HEAD LIGHTS CAME ON. JIGGLED MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH AND HEAD LIGHTS FLICKERED AS DID LEFT TURN LAMP. ORDERED NEW MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH WILL HAVE IT INSTALLED 13 MAY, 2013. CONCERN: I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND NO ONE ELSE MENTIONED THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH, THEY ALL REFERRED TO THE LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE. I NOW FEAR MY PROBLEM COULD OCCUR AGAIN AFTER REPLACING THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM OCCURRING ON SIMILAR VEHICLES. *TR
