Power Tongue Jack issues

I have a 2019 22RBS and last night at the storage lot the jack stopped working right when I had it extended to unhook the Weight Distribution Bars. UGH turns out the rocker switch has 2 spring loaded pins and 2 mechanical rockers and one of the rockers flipped on it's side. NOT THE GREATEST DESIGN! so I put everything back the way it was supposed to be and BAM it worked. Now I have ZERO confidence in the jack (switch) any suggestions? I'm thinking of upgrading to a Husky jack for $217. Thoughts?

I don't have a Husky jack but I think several do and like them. I'm sure they will chime in. I replaced mine with a Stromberg Carlson (all they had) when mine failed and don't like it. It is 5k so plenty strong but it is SO slow.

My thoughts would be to phone the dealer, see if you can remove the jack and take it to them and replace it under warranty. Removing a jack takes about 5 mins.
Second would be going to a auto parts store and buy a better switch.

I put a 5K Husky with remote on mine ad love it. With reverse camera and remote hitching up is a breeze. I still let the DW think she's helping by guiding me back as I enjoy watching her wave her arms like she just knocked down a hornets nest!
