2012 Dodge RAM 1500 lights complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 46 of 46, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I've had the truck for a while but last friday was the first time I drove it at night. I had no idea the headlights were so bad on this thing. It was an adventure getting home. No light to the sides to see to turn and both dim and high beams were extremely anemic. I've been driving for more than 50 years and never driven one with lights as bad as these, even when some others have had only one working headlight for a little while.
Poor lighting under any conditions. Lighting is not focused and has little or no effect on illuminating the drive path. A standard flash light produces more lighting. This is very unsafe for night driving. All dodge ram owners of this year have the same complaint.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at night, visibility was reduced due to the headlights being too dim. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the headlight bulbs were replaced but the contact stated that the visibility barely improved. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure and current mileage was 707.
The headlights, both high and low beams, are so poor as to be a serious safety hazard. On low beam, the road is lighted for only 100 or so feet. On high beams, almost nothing ahead is visible. Similar experiences have been expressed by other ram pickup owners. These headlights are so poor, I'm shocked they have been approved for public sale. I have missed side roads and driveways due to the poor headlights. I'm forced to spend several hundred dollars on upgraded bulbs and after market driving lights. The truck is a serious safety hazard at night. There should be a recall to remedy such a significant deficiency in a $30k+ vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 dodge ram 1500. The contact was driving approximately 55 MPH with the headlights activated and noticed the headlights illuminated inadequately. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated the headlights functioned as designed by the manufacturer. The contact tested other model year vehicles and the same model year and the headlight illumination was brighter. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. Updated 12/20/12 *bf the consumer stated there was no head light failure. It was the lack of brightness of the low and high beams.
