Headlights work sometimes, sometimes they don't. They go from off, to on, to off as you drive the vehicle.

Aecm memory did not register upon impact in accident. The airbag "did not deploy" at "impact". Major damage to the main frame in front of the car. The main bar is pushed back into the radiator, in which the radiator is pushed back close to the motor. The front end was destroyed, headlights were pointed in different directions. I just recently (dec 05) had my seat repaired again, in which it was under recall, for the recliner bolt that kept breaking.

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.

The headlights on my 1999 dodge intrepid are cloudy and can ot be cleaned. It's like they have been sandblasted by the sand and rock on the roads. This is a problem with visibility at night and in the rain. In additional it has failed the va state inspection. Each headlight cost $350.00 in total $700.00 we have to pay to correct the problem that is due to no fault of the owner of the vehile. There should be a recall issue by dodge to replace the headlight with glass instead of plastic again for the same problem to happen.
