Failure of 2.7 liter dodge intrepid engine at 72,000 miles
Defective lights.
The headlight housing assemblies have the coating peeling, and the lense has a haze. This is pronounced thruout every 1999 and 2000 intrepid I have inspected. This reduces the visibility greatly I have almost hit a pedestrian when turning a corner due to reduced output of the lights. The lenses are no longer a clear plastic, but are a white fog. The headlights are experiencing delamination.
Consumer stated headlights kept turning yellow and it was hard to see when driving at night. Consumer called the manufacturer and the dealership, and no one wanted to help consumer. She almost received a traffic ticket for this problem. But on one seemed to correct the problem.
