1 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 09/17/2020

The doors wouldn't unlock, then decided to unlock. The vehicle will only make this loud clicking noise. The battery tests good. The headlights and taillights keep coming on and off even though the vehicle is not on at all. All switches are tuned off and it's not in accc mode. Had to disconnect battery and wait for tow truck.

2 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 09/16/2019

While driving down the highway my headlights shut off completely. Leaving us driving in the dark. It has happened multiple times especially when trying to use blinkers or switch high beams on or off. I took my car to the dealership and they say it's the multifunction switch and want 372. 84 to replace it. My warranty has just run out and I have already had to replace the thermostat and now this is out as well as the back door lock actuator. I bought the car new, it's a 2017. I feel the switch and possibly the back door actuator must be faulty.
