Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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
