Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
The wiring to the headlights are getting hot and visibly showing burn Mark's to the wiring and fuses to the headlights (not halo lights). It is causing the headlights to come on intermittently. Sometimes they come on at night and sometimes they don't. Sometimes they are off and suddenly comes on after miles of driving with my flashers. I can spell the burning sometimes. The Dodge dealership in Douglasville Georgia verified the wire and fuse burning. The dealership technicians spoke of relocating the wires to empty fuse box slots. How will that prevent the wires from burning? This could be a fire hazard. Your assistance is appreciated.
When braking my headlights will go on and off randomly for 5 seconds and come back on. Note this isn't the hid headlamps this is the halogen headlamps.
Noticed headlights flickered once in awhile when driving down the road then someone said my passenger headlight was out, my upgraded headlights are so bright I didn't notice while behind the wheel. I took it to dodge dealership to change the $1200. Mopar bulb when they found that was not the problem, the fuse had melted into the wiring harnesses. They told me it's a $700 part & 14 hours labor but the part is on back order with no eta 68273736ae so I couldn't fix it anyways. So I started looking it up & thousands of people have had this problem & chrysler had this issue on recall back in 2011-2012.
My headlights intermittently went out. Sometimes one side, sometimes both. It happened last night while I was driving. Both headlights went out. Luckily I was right down the street from my house. Pulled in the garage to find that both headlight fuses (fuse 15 and fuse16) were burnt. Upon further research on forums and websites dedicated to my car, many other people are also having issues with this. This has happened to multiple times. Luckily this time I was not on a busy street, but I was on a state route a minute prior to this. Both my lowbeams and high beams were affected.
Bought the car from a dealership not even a month ago they were very aware that the headlights did not seem to work on the car after several weeks of asking them to get in touch with their mechanic or saying maybe tomorow or next week got no answer car currently is unable to drive at night or early morning which is my work hours have recently had to drive with hazard lights on at dark hours bulbs or not he culprit nor relays or fuse has a major electrical problem and light problem also car seems to be stuck on the headlights on position not allowing me to turn off license plate light and or side markers along with dash cluster being so dim where I'm unable to see during the day time and also steering wheel is off centered when driving straight
My 17 year old son's 2016 dodge challenger turns off while car is being driven. The ignition switch usually goes to acc (sometimes run). Also, the steering wheel locks up, the headlights go out, braking is difficult, heating/cooling turn off, and according to the manual the airbags become inactive in acc. My son has nearly hit a tree and he has crossed lanes into the opposite direction when the steering wheel has locked. The problem started happening at about 2500 miles 04/2016. It has happened from10 MPH to 70 MPH. It has happened 15 or more times and seems to happen after the car has been driven over 20 miles, parked, and then driven again. It has happened on all types of road--residential, city and highway. It has occurred while being driven straight and when turning, on level roads and up hills. The dealer could not duplicate the problem. The dealer contacted chrysler detroit without success. They installed a special data collecting switch which we manually activated when the car stalled. The data was forwarded to detroit for analysis. I have attached service records. We have supplied photos of the instrumentation after the car turns off. My son started driving with one hand on his iphone making a video recording of the car stalling in late september 2016. The video recording is on youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se5tagu6my8&feature=youtu.be on october 7, 2016, I met at our local dealership with the general manager, service manager, and head mechanic to discuss the problems and to review the video. They stated that they did not know how to fix the car and had to rely on chrysler. The new video was forwarded to chrysler and a master mechanic was to review it but nothing has happened. Further, they recommended that the car should not be driven as it is too dangerous. Since then, the car has been parked.
