Headlight dimmer switch defective causing dash board lights and tail lights not to function.

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.

Both tail light assemblies mounting screw receticles 3 on each assemply have sheared making the wiring the only thing holding both assemblies in place.
This started last spring. No dash lights & no tail lights. Out of warranty so took it to my local mechanic who replaced the switch which had 'burned'. Started again about 2 weeks ago, turn on lights & no dash or tail lights. Called mechanic and he said possibly another bad switch or a bad wiring harness. I can't afford to keep replacing these parts every 3-4 months. Help. What is causing this problem.
The headlights will no go off when the twilight sentinel is used. The only way to get the headlights off is to disconnect the battery cable. The same year/make/model car was recalled for the same thing with manufacter dates of 6/94 -7/94. Mine was manufactered in 11/94 and I feel it is the same problem. I can no longer use the twilight sentinel for fear of this happening again, or worse, the lights going out while driving. There have been many problems with this car from the beginning including replacing three air conditioning compressors, fuel pump, and transmission. My family's safety is a very important issue with me and this car has jeopardized that safety too many times.
Defective head light control module caused total loss of head lights. Yh
Plastic connectors holding tail lights in place broke in half. Causing the tail light to hang by the wiring. All three connectors on the passenger side have broken completely, and the three connectors on the drivers side are cracked all the way through but it has not fallen off yet. The plastic connectors seems to be brittle and break into small pieces.
Tail light plastic connections broke in half.
The trunk light does not have a protective cover, items in the trunk area burn from the heat of the bulb. (qcaw)
The design of the tail lights is defective.
