Driver's side headlight stopped working and the bulb is still good. Called the dealership and apparently this is a common problem they know that they r trying to charge 1200 dollors to fix. They should have to fix the headlights because it's the manufacturers fault that they don't work correctly. Can't drive this car anymore cause you can't see to drive at night. Because the headlights don't work and it's not because of the bulbs. It's the manufacturers installation that was done wrong..

Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
2010 dodge caliber with headlight failures caused by faulty fuse box (tipm). I replace bulbs and one headlight will not light low beam or high beam. All the fuses are good. It has also affected how the car runs and has stalled on the road. This is the 4th or fifth incident I have had with the car, headlights, stalling, turn signals, air bag indicators. The headlights will not work moving or sitting still and turn signals.
My headlight went out on my car, I got a replacement bulb, put it in and nothing. I got another bulb thinking maybe it's a malfunctioning bulb. Still didn't work, tested the light socket and no power to it, looked up on google for headlight malfunctioning on 2010 dodge calibers and there are multiple complaints and videos regarding this issue going back to 2007 dodge calibers. This is an electrical problem and dodge is aware of this issue but states its not a "safety issue" however you can get a ticket for a headlight being out and your car will not pass inspection without a headlight. So how can this not be a safety issue? This needs to be a recall on this vehicle, just for the diagnostic of this issue will cost me $114/hour to have the shop diagnose the electrical problem, not fix it, just tell me what it is and then labor and parts to fix it. Check edmonds.com there are dozens of complaints about headlight failures. This is a tipm problem that appears to trigger caliber headlight failure and to replace it is expensive and dodge is aware of this issue and does nothing
The passenger side headlight will not work. I have tried a new one and nothing. I have power to the socket but the light will not work. I have read that the problem is the fuse box. It's been a problem since they made the car in 2007. $1000.00 or better to fix it.
The tipm module causes the left headlight low beam to not work, after replacing the bulb.
