I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS ON THE END OF THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH AND HAS SOME SLIGHTLY RAISED RIDGES. I HAVE ON AT LEAST FIVE OCASSIONS ACCIDENTLY TURNED OFF THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN GOING FROM HIGH BEAM TO LOW BEAM OR WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE LIGHT SWITCH TURNS VERY EASILY AND AS MY FINGES SLIDE OVER THE KNOB IT TURNS THE HEADLIGHTS TO THE OFF POSITION. A VERY DISTURBING AND FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER HAVING TRAVEL ALL OVER THE U.S. AND SEVERAL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND THIS IS AN UNNERVING EXPERIENCE AT NIGHT. I HAVE COMPLAINTED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TO NISSAN (REFERENCE # 4853986) BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SWITCH WORKS FINE. I ALSO KNOW ANOTHER TITAN OWNER AND HE HAS HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT WILL GET SOMEONE KILLED OR INJURED. *AK
