1 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2013

While driving to work at 4:30 am headlights went out, then came back on, several times, this is the second time we have had this issue, we replaced the headlight switch about three months ago, and it appeared to rectify the problem now it has occured again. Called the dealership in my area, and they are aware of no recalls for this problem, but after conducting a web search, I see that this is a common problem, hopefully no one will be injured before this defect causes an accident.
