What owners say

Headlights will turn on and off intermittently while driving , or will turn on by themselves without the key in ignition. My mechanic have replaced 3 headlight switches but its not working. Also the car has major electrical problems from internal lamps to headlights. I have read lot of review from other users. I can file a lawsuit with user consumers if I have to against dodge. This thing is very annoying and dodge should pay for this.
