Headlight plugs melted, causing the headlights not to operate.

Ref complaints 80068888 897127 10002881 on headlamps. Both connectors have deteriorated assume from heat of headlamps. Can jiggle the wires and get connection, with intermediate results on either headlamp.
Both connectors that connect to the headlights have deteriorated, apparently due to heat from the headlights, so badly that the connection disengages while driving and the headlights go out. I have to stop and jiggle the connection to regain headlights. The wire harness connection is defective and makes for a very hazzardous situation when traveling in washington dc traffic and suddenly the headlights go out.
While driving on a country road headlights went out. Consumer had to hold headlight switch for headlights to come back on and to stay on. Contacted dealer, dealer replaced switch 4 times. Problem kept reoccurring.*ak
Headlights died without warning. Also, vehicle has recall 01v020000 for wiring harness. Consumer feels its very dangerous when headlights quit, and other speeding cars are not able to see vehicle please provide any further information.
