My wife swears this is just caused by my ineptness, but when driving at night, I often knock the lights off accidentally whenever I try to turn on the directionals. Unless I lightly grasp the directional lever & gently click it up or down I invariably seem to knock the lights off. As I live out in the sticks (no street lights) It's made for some interesting and panicked turns in the dark!

My opinion? The headlight switch rotates too easily - a design flaw. Or is my wife right claiming that I'm just a clumsy oaf?

I got the titan crewcab with the bench-seats. Somtimes when i got to put it in drive i hit the winshield wipers accidentally! and when i go for the stereo controls DUNK goes the hand on the shifter on its way to the volume knob.Have had my killer truck for a few months now and I'm getting better at it(not hitting them that is) I still love her (my truck that is)

I"ve had the same darkness happen to me while giving a turn signal. First thought that my headlights just went out, then noticed I had turned them off while signaling. I've done this a few times, but have gotten more adept while using the turn signal as to not turn off the lights. So yeah, it very well be a design flaw.

Ya. I think Nissan could have tightened up the control a bit. I've done it too from time to time.
