Headlight switch has failed 3 times in 3 years. Neither low or high beams will work making driving at night unsafe. Switch replaced in October 2004, October 2006 and October 2007. The switch from October 2004 had an electrical burning smell coming from it for the two years it was installed while the headlights were turned on.
