Consumer Description

THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHEN I CHANGED TO HIGH BEAMS. I PULLED OFF AND CYCLE THE SWITCH AND THEY CAME ON. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE WITH JUST THE LOW BEAMS. THE DEALER SAID THE "MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH" HAD FAILED AND REPLACED IT. I THINK IT IS ONLY FORTUNATE THAT AN ACCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR.
