putting the blinker on and accidently turning headlights off.
This Already Has Happened 3x In A Month. I'm Driving At Nite And I Put The Blinker On Either A Right Turn Or Left,and Accidently I Turned My Headlights Off....it Seems That My Switch Is Too Soft And If I Do It The Wrong Way It Turns Causing My Lights To Turn Off. Has Anyone Had This Problem?

This has happened to me once or twice. It also happened to my wife the 1st time she drove it at night. I got a call with the question why are the headlights off? We both figured out that you can inadvertantly move the headlights off of auto when changing the signals. Lately I report no problems. I must be getting used to the car.

I'm glad somebody finally mentioned this.
It happened the first time I took the car out at night and scared the $HIT out of me until I realized why the lights went off. It still happens occasionally if I hit the lever the "wrong" way.
Nissan should have designed in more friction on the **** for the headlights.

I think that if enough people will complaint about this prblem nissan will do a recall due to safety reasons....again it happened to me today,I was driving at nite and rapidly I down shift to 3rd gear and put the signal light at the same time to switch lanes and I hit the signal light the wrong way and turned my lights off and didn't realize until someone hi-beamed me...this could be dangerous!!!

I too have had the same problem and it has happened usually at a most inopportune time. I agree with the one reply that if you use the auto on/off
function this should not happen. I will try this for now and wait for the recall.
