The plastic dash broke in several places while driving on a rough road. This also affected the VIN plate causing one rivet to be dislodged and causing problems registering it. In some areas it is considered VIN tampering even though it was not my fault.

When driving at night the headlights are not bright enough, the plastic has been cleaned, the light bulbs have been replaced and we still can not see the road at night. We have hit deer twice, and wife hit a light pole in a parking lot because it was not working and the lights on the truck didn't light it up so my wife could not see where she was turning, I am trying to see if anyone else has had the same problems with headlights.
