Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
Headlamp goes off. I have replaced the headlamp recently in a month it goes off again. Seems like wiring is melting.
Burning fuses in fuse box under hood causing charing to the yellow mini fuses and making the headlight go out. There's one seperate fuse for the right headlight and one seperate fuse for the left headlight. There are youtube videos on it also. When you try to contact Dodge about it they brush you off and then send you a survey form by email asking you how was ypur service experience. When you tell them you were never contacted in the survey, they send you another survey. That's an insult.
The fuse box and screen inside car is going haywire causing the headlight to go out while driving, causing the screen to blink on and off while driving constantly dialing 911, not letting you use your navigation or being able to use the back up camera. I almost got into a wreck with my newborn due to this issue!!! You can’t even use some of the safety features due to this issue. When driving at night the screen going on and off , dim to bright causes trouble seeing at night..you can’t turn the screen off because it’ll just turn right back on. I’ve seen your company has gotten multiple reports on this but no recall has been made. If we get hurt or someone else does you are aware that it can be a legal issue correct??
Head lights flicker on and off while driving at night, also cruise control flickers on and off and sometimes needs to be shut off manually. Also Dash lights and fan and radio Flickers on and off!
This car definitely has a wiring issue. Sometimes the car won't start. It is not the battery & it is not the starter. Occasionally the radio won't work. Sometimes when you are driving down the road, it loses all power. Sometimes the headlights just go out. Nobody can seem to find the issue.
The low beam headlights do not provide enough light for safe driving at night. The vehicle is not usable at night without operating the high beams. A state police officer checked the lights and commented they were the worst he has seen. This needs to be corrected!
