HEADLIGHT DIMMER SWITCH DEFECTIVE CAUSING DASH BOARD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS NOT TO FUNCTION. IN ADDITION, THE MALFUNCTION SWITCH CAUSED AN ELECTRIC MELTDOWN OF THE PIG TAIL CONNECTOR GOING INTO THE SWITCH. I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH THE SWITCH AND PIGTAIL CONNECTORS. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT A FEW OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM HAD BEEN REPORTED. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND HAD TO PAY THE COST OF THE INSTALLATION OF THE SWITCH. THERE SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS DEFECTED PART COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRIC FIRE. IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MOTORIST. THE DEFECTIVE SWITCH WOULD CAUSE MY CAR TO FAIL MASSACHUSETTS SAFETY INSPECTION. *AK *JB **** DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS*****739867.
