2011 DODGE CHARGER Exterior Lighting Problems

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the front headlamps failed to provide adequate illumination while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who replaced the front headlamp bulbs and ballasts; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Mileage: 70,000

Both low headlights went out while driving at night. I have changed the bulbs out multiple times and the continue to blow out.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Charger. The contact stated while driving, the driver-side headlight failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the headlight was replaced however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the same independent mechanic but the vehicle had not been diagnosed. The dealer or the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

The low beam left front headlight keeps going out every few months. It burns out and when I replace the bulb the harness looks hot and frayed. I keep loosing visibility while driving at night. Dodge stated I need a new headlamp harness. There are no warning lights present.

The headlights, one or both, arbitrarily go out while driving at night.

Front headlights go out randomly as the vehicle warms up. Appears to be related to the 2011/2012 headlamp recall 12V-042 but my vehicle is not coming up on the notification list. Loss of headlights decreases ability to see and increases the risk of an accident. No dash messages, no computer messages. Lamps work when initially turned on so vehicle hasn't failed any safety inspections. All obvious checks provide no possible reason for this issue.

My vehicle has the symptoms listed in NHSTA 12V-042. The dealership would not complete the recall due to my VIN number not being included or my manufacture date not matching the dates. They directed me to email the NHSTA to get this resolved

MY CAR FRONT HALOGEN LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT IN MOTION OR SITTING STILL ON ANY TYPE OF STREET. I HAVE TO TURN THEM OFF WAIT A MINUTE AND THEN TURN THEM BACK ON. WE HAVE SPENT THOUSAND OF DOLLARS AT THE DODGE HOUSE TO GET THIS FIXED AND THEY HAVE STATED THERE IS NOT RECALL IN PLACE AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE TO RUN THE FOG LIGHTS AT NIGHT JUST TO KEEP FROM WRECKING. THEY ASK ON ONE OF THE QUESTION, WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN. ITS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. THE BLIND SPOT WARNING IS WORKING EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE ALSO.

Mileage: 90,000

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAS GONE OUT 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS. WHEN CHANGED/FIXED, EACH HEADLIGHT BULB IS BURNT AND 2 OUT OF THE 4 HAVE BUSTED INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. IT IS THE CORRECT BULB/VOLTAGE AND CERTIFIED OREM REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHT BULBS FOR THE LOW BEAM. EACH BULB LAST ONLY 4-6 WEEKS. NO SIGNS OF MOISTURE IN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY OR FAULTY INSTALLATION.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM WILL COME ON THEN GO OFF. AFTER AWHILE IT COMES BACK ON FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN GOES OUT AGAIN. THE VEHICLE CAN BE SITTING RUNNING OR GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND WILL DO THE SAME THING.

Mileage: 169,000

ONE OR BOTH LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS CUT OFF WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS RELEASED A SAFETY RECALL THAT APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER, IT IS NOT REGISTERED TO MY VIN AT THE MOMENT. THE RECALL NUMBER IS P08 / NHTSA 14V-101. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE.

Mileage: 99,000

WHILE DRIVING ON SMOOTH OR ROUGH ROADS, HIGHWAYS, CITY STREETS OR EVEN PARKED WITH LOW BEAMS ON EVERY TIME ONE LIGHT WILL START TO FLICKER AND GO OUT COMPLETELY AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL LIGHT SWITCH IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. FIRST WAS DRIVER SIDE FOR A WEEK OR TWO, BUT NOW STAYS ON. BUT AS SOON AS THE DRIVER QUIT FLICKERING NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES IT ALL THE TIME NOT A DAY FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS HAS IT NOT TURNED OFF. DOESN'T MATTER IF LIGHTS ON AUTO OR MANUALLY TURNED ON THIS HAPPENS. THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO HAPPENS RANGES FROM FEW SECONDS TO 20 MIN. DEALER ACTS AS IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM AND CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM SO CAN'T GET FIXED. THIS GOES FOR ME AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WITH SAME ISSUE WE NOW CAN'T DRIVE VEHICLE AT NIGHT OR TAKE A RISK THAT COULD EITHER GET US A TICKET FOR NO HEADLIGHT OR COULD BE IN A DRIVING SITUATION BEING PITCH BLACK OUT NO CITY LIGHTS TO HELP SEE MAKING A TURN AND LIGHTS GO OUT. THAT IS A FOR SURE WRECK OR EVEN DEATH. I DO KNOW OF A RECALL FOR THIS POLICE CHARGER JUST MINE ISN'T THE RIGHT TYPE SO WHY NOT MAKE IT FOR ALL TYPES. A PROBLEM IS A PROBLEM NO MATTER WHAT, BUT I GUESS OUR SAFETY ISN'T AS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF IT WAS THEN THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF.

IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED ON RANDOM OCCASIONS, WHEN DOING A LEFT TURN, IT FEELS LIKE THE POWER STEERING IS NO LONGER WORKING, AND THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON LEFT TURNS. FINALLY, I HAVE SOME STRANGE ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAPPENING, SOMETIMES MY LEFT LOW BEAM WILL WORK, OTHER DAYS IT WON'T. NOW THE SOUND TO THE SPEAKERS HAVE STOPPED, AND THEN TODAY, I LEFT TO GO TO WORK, MY CAR WON'T START, ALL I HAVE IS AN ILLUMINATED ETC LIGHT AND NOTHING. I HAVE TRIED GETTING DODGE TO LOOK AT IT REPEATEDLY, IT IS CLEARLY A WIRING ELECTRICAL FAULT, THEY KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING IS UNDER REAL, AND I KEEP PUTTING MONEY AFTER MONEY INTO THE CAR, AND I THINK ITS GOING TO GET ME HURT ONE DAY.

MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER HAD THE PO8 RECALL DONE IN JULY OF 2014 AT ABOUT 48000 MILES NOW AT 94000 MILES THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. I WAS TOLD THE FIX WILL BE $440.+ TAX AS THE PROBLEM IS A VOLTAGE DROP IN THE HARNESS THAT WAS INSTALLED AND NOT THE ORIGINAL MELTED WIRING THAT CAUSED THE PO8 RECALL. I THOUGHT FAULTY WIRING CAUSING LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE.

Mileage: 94,000

AT NIGHT OR WHEN HID HEADLIGHTS ARE ON FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN OFF, LEAVING ONLY ONE LIGHT ON. IF I STOP THE CAR AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE CAR BOTH LIGHTS WILL BE ON. ALSO IF I TURN OFF THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH FOR A MOMENT AND THEN BACK TO THE ON POSITION BOTH HEADLIGHTS COME BACK ON. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I HAD A BURNT OUT BULB AND I TOOK THE CAR TO FIRESTONE TO GET A REPLACEMENT BULB, BUT THEY SAID BOTH HEADLIGHTS WORK AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. NEITHER FIRESTONE OR DODGE CHARGED ME ANYTHING FOR THE CHECK. THEY BOTH SAID "NO PROBLEM FOUND". NOW DODGE SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE FOR AN ALTERNATOR PROBLEM. I WONDER IF THIS IS RELATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING DIMMED AND THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATED. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK AT ALL. THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF HEADLIGHT FUNCTIONALITY, WHICH PROMPTED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT PEP BOYS IN EDGEWATER PARK, NEW JERSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS WERE REMOVED AND REINSERTED BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE FUSES WERE INSPECTED BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED DIRECTLY. PEP BOYS LOCATED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V101000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. AN UNKNOWN DODGE DEALER IN LUMBERTON, NEW JERSEY WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE CONTACT'S VIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND AGREED WITH THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN THOUROUGHFARE, THE ENGINE STALLED.( THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON.) THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, AND THEN ALL ELEC POWER WENT OUT. LEAVING THE CAR WITHOUT LIGHTS/FLASHERS. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE ALTERNATOR FAILED, SHORTING OUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND KILLING/DESTROYING THE BATTERY. THE ALTERNATOR SHOULDN'T DO THIS. I FOUND THAT DODGE HAD A RECALL ( P-60) ON THEIR V-6 MODELS FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. MY CAR IS A V-8. I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY OR AT NIGHT AS THE CAR HAD NO WAY IOF INDICATING DISTRESS TO OTHER DRIVERS AND THE HEADLIGHTS DIDN'T WORK. THERE IS A CLEAR DEFECT IN THE ALTERNATORS OF THESE CARS, ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE DOING 65 MPH (AND ONCE WHILE DOING 25 MPH) MY LIGHTS, STEREO AND SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT AND CAR SPEED DECREASED. ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP/FLASH THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS EVERYTHING GO BACK TO NORMAL. HAVE HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. AND ON TWO OCCASIONS THE POWER STEERING FUSES HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY KEEP GETTING BLOWN OUT. HAVE HAD ALTERNATOR EXCHANGED AT LAST RECALL. FEARFUL THAT VEHICLE MAY STOP IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY! HAVE VIDEO OF INCIDENT AS IT WAS HAPPENING. NO PICTURES

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET AT ABOUT 40MPH. HAD TO UTILIZE MANUAL TRANSMISSION TO OPERATE VEHICLE. DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT, THOUGHT IT WAS MY FAULT. HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER ALSO WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AS WELL. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70K MILES, THIS OCCURRED AT ABOUT 62K MILES. LOW BEAM LIGHTS ALSO GOING OUT OCCASIONALLY. HAVE NEVER RECEIVED RECALL INFORMATION REGARDING THESE ISSUES BUT HAVING THESE ISSUES NON THE LESS.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 RT AWD DODGE CHARGER ON THE FREEWAY, AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, ALL OF THE LIGHTS (INCLUDING, THE DASH LIGHTS, THE RADIO, THE HEADLIGHTS, I AM UNSURE IF THE REAR RUNNING LIGHTS WERE INVOLVED) SHUT OFF MOMENTARILY (3-5 SECONDS). DURING THAT TIME I NOTICED A CHANGE IN THE STEERING, THE WHEEL BECAME STIFF LIKE THE POWER STEERING WAS OFF. I LET MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL BUT DID NOT BRAKE SO I'M NOT SURE IF THE POWER BRAKES WERE AFFECTED, BUT ASSUME THEY WERE. IT SOUNDS A LOT LIKE THE ALTERNATOR FAILURE RECALL INVOLVING THE 6 CYLINDER MODELS WITH THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. (I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME ALTERNATOR THAT WAS USED IN THE R/T 5.7L HEMI MODEL) THE POWER CAME BACK ON AND I DROVE THE LAST 4-5 MILES HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I AM APPREHENSIVE ABOUT DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY NOW. LOOSING THE ABILITY TO STEER AND BRAKE AT FREEWAY SPEED COULD END IN AN ACCIDENT. AS AN ADDED NOTE, WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY SMELL (ELECTRICAL) NEAR THE ENGINE, THERE WAS NOT.

I HAVE A 2011 DODGE CHARGER R/T AWD MAX AND ABOUT A YEAR AGO SOME OF THE "RACETRACK" TAILLIGHT LED'S STARTED GOING OUT ON THE BOTTOM ON EACH SIDE. NOW THIS WINTER I WENT OUT TO STORAGE TO START IT UP AND I NOTICED THAT I NOW HAVE EVEN MORE LED'S THAT ARE OUT. NOT ONLY DO I VIEW THIS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THESE LED'S ESSENTIALLY ACT AS THE CARS REAR RUNNING LIGHTS, BUT IT IS ONE OF THE KEY FEATURES OF THIS CAR AND IT LOOKS REALLY CRUMMY WHEN THEY GO OUT. AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD MANY PEOPLE THAT OWN 2011-2014 DODGE CHARGERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. I THINK DODGE SHOULD STEP IN AND REPLACE THE CENTER SECTION OF THE TAIL LIGHTS. HERE IS A VIDEO WASNT MADE FOR THE PURPOSE OF SHOWCASING THE TAILLIGHT ISSUE BUT YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF LED'S THAT ARE OUT ON EACH SIDE ON THE BOTTOM. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=K3T3BZDRM3M

HI WE NEED YOUR HELP TO WARN AND LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WHAT DODGE IS DOING TO THERE CUSTOMERS. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO MY 4 MONTH PREGNANT GIRL WAS DRIVING OUR 2011 DODGER TO WORK, SHE WAS ON THE HIGH WAY ON THE CENTER LANE WHEN THE CAR WITH A WARNING JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. SHE HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR, LUCKILY THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT BAD THAT SHE MANGE TO WALK A CROSS THE HIGHWAY AND CALL HER FATHER. HE WENT TO GET HER AND PUSHED THE CAR TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE.

A SAFETY RECALL (P08) WAS ISSUED STARTING 5/9/14. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP FOR WIRING HARNESS INSEPCTION ON 6/25/14 BECAUSE RIGHT SIDE HEADLIGHT HAD JUST GONE OUT. DEALERSHIP INSPECTED, BUT DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS IN STOCK TO REPLACE BAD HARNESS. WAS PUT ON A WAITING LIST FOR PARTS AS DEALERSHIP STATES THEY ONLY GET ONE SET OF PARTS PER WEEK FROM CHRYSLER FOR THIS RECALL. AS OF TODAY, 9/2/14, I AM STILL ON THE WAITING LIST. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER AND TICKETED FOR A NON-WORKING HEADLIGHT. MY CONCERN IS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND WORRYING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE OTHER HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL AND I CAN'T GET MY CAR FIXED BECAUSE CHRYSLER ISN'T SENDING ENOUGH PARTS TO DEALERSHIPS. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A CRASH WITH INJURIES OR FATALITIES IN ORDER FOR PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE? I WILL REFUSE TO PAY ANOTHER TICKET AND I DON'T HAVE THE OPTION TO NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT. CONTACTED CHRYLSER RECALL CENTER ON 9/2/14. THEY ARE TRYING TO EXPEDITE PARTS TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, BUT THERE IS NO TIME FRAME WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE RECEIVED. IN THE MEANTIME I WILL DRIVE AROUND WITH ONE HEADLIGHT AND HOPE THE OTHER DOES NOT FAIL. *TR

I AM NOT REALLY SENSING AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, TWO LIGHTS TURNED ON ONE IS ABS AND THE OTHER ONE IS A CAR WITH SQUIGGLY LINES BEHIND IT. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RECALLS. BUT, WOULD LIKE TO KNOW BEFORE I TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED WHEN I HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE FOR TOO LONG. ALSO, I AM NOT SURE IF IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE IT LIKE THAT. I ALSO HEAR LIKE A CRACKING NOISE UNDER THE DASHBOARD IT COMES AND GOES NOT SURE WHAT THAT COULD BE EITHER. *TR

THE RADIO TURNED OFF, INDICATOR LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING, STEERING WHEEL BEGIN TO LOCK UP, AND THE CAR BEGAN JERKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO JUMPSTART THE CAR AND PROCEEDED TO GO HOME, THE CAR NEVER STOPPED JERKING AND WAS IN POWER SAVER MODE. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY THE NEXT DAY. SOON AFTER THE CAR BEGIN TO DO ALL THE SAME THINGS, JERKING, INDICATOR LIGHTS, ETC. MY CAR HAS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER AFTER COMPLETELY CHARGING THE BATTERY. IT CANNOT GET TOWED BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL DUE TO NO POWER. THIS HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I HAPPEN TO WORK FOR CHRYSLER AND AM AN ELECTRICIAN AND KNOW THE POTENTIAL OF THE PROBLEM.

THE ALTERNATOR WENT BAD AT 64,000 MILES IN WHICH IT COMPLETELY KILLED MY BATTERY. NOW I HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS, BATTERY, AND ALTERNATOR. WHAT IS CHRYSLER WAITING ON TO RECALL THESE ISSUES? APPARENTLY THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. DO WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL SEVERAL CONSUMERS HAVE ACCIDENTS OR MAYBE DIE BEFORE SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT VEHICLES AND THEIR RECALLS? OTHER MANUFACTURERS LIKE TOYOTA, GMC HAVE HAD MANY ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS AND NOW AFTER ALMOST A DECADE THEY ARE RECALLING THE VEHICLES. I HAVE 2 SMALL KIDS THAT COMMUTE TO SCHOOL IN MY VEHICLES DAILY.

REMOVED THE LAMP AND FOUND THE CONNECTOR SHELL/HOUSING CHARRED AND BRITTLE. CONTACTS ON ONE SIDE OF THE CONNECTOR AND BOTH THE ORIGINAL AND REPLACEMENT LAMPS WERE DISCOLORED BY INTENSE HEAT. EVIDENTLY, THE CONNECTOR CONTACT WAS NOT PROVIDING A SOLID CONNECTION WITH THE LAMP TERMINALS, AND THE HIGH RESISTANCE CONNECTION RESULTED IN OVERHEATING AND MELTING OF THE CONNECTOR, A DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN, ONGOING PROBLEM FOR WHICH THE SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. RESEARCH INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY CHRYSLER, BUT ONLY POLICE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT WENT OUT. TRIED REPLACING THE BULB, WHICH WAS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN ANTICIPATED SO, DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DODGE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM. RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT THE BULB BUT WAS THE ENTIRE WIRING MECHANISM AND THE WIRES HAD "MELTED". I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL DODGE CUSTOMER FOR MANY YEAR, DESPITE MANY DIFFICULTIES WITH OTHER DODGE MODELS. MOST RECENT, THIS HEADLIGHT ISSUE, NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL (EVEN AFTER READING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS) AND I AM OVER MY 36,000 MILE WARRANTY, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN CHRYSLER! NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE COST OF THIS REPAIR, BUT NOW I WORRY THAT IF THE HEAT IS ENOUGH TO MELT THE WIRES, WHAT HAPPENS THE NEXT TIME I AM DRIVING AND THE WIRES ACTUALLY CATCH FIRE? GUESS CHRYSLER WILL ISSUE A RECALL ONCE SOMEONE IS SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE CASE DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE! *TR

2011 DODGE CHARGER DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WENT OUT DURING LOW VISIBILITY, FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE WIRING HARNESS LEADING UP TO THE BULB OVERHEATED AND IS RESULTING IN INTERMITTENT OPERATION. IT IS SOMETIMES POSSIBLE TO MANUALLY MOVE WIRES TO GET THE HEADLIGHT BACK ON BUT EVENTUALLY IT GOES BACK OUT.

HAVE A 2011 DODGE CHARGER THAT HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT. HAD IT REPLACED AND A FEW DAYS LATER WENT OUT AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY CAR WOULDN'T START. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. HAD TO REPLACE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. COST OVER $ 800 TO GET FIXED. DON'T UNDERSTAND WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS THAT ARE IDENTICAL WHY DODGE HASN'T HAD A RECALL. SEEN WHERE POLICE CARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. GOING TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY TO SEE WHAT OPTIONS I HAVE BC THIS IS JUST WRONG. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT/FAILS TO LIGHT. THE HALOGEN LAMP AFTER BEING REPLACED FAILS THE SAME WAY. IF WIRES ARE JIGGLED, THE LIGHT OFTEN WILL GO BACK ON, BUT THEN FAILS AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY. MY WIFE CONTACTED CHRYSLER 1 800 853 1403 AND THEY TOLD HER THAT THE CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THE RECALL INVOLVED POLICE VERSIONS OF THE SAME CAR. THE SAME PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING IN CIVILIAN VERSIONS AS WELL. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP IS PLEADING "IGNORANCE" AND WANTS TO CHARGE US TO REPAIR WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY AS DESIGN/ENGINEERING DEFECT. WHAT IS SCARY IS THE DEFECT IN POLICE CARS ALSO NOTES A TIE-IN TO A FUSE BOX AND CONTROL PANELS THAT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS BETWEEN 12,000 TO 13,000 MILES ON IT AS OF TODAY'S DATE. MY WIFE IS ABSOLUTELY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT. THE 2011 DODGE CHARGER POSES A DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO PUBLIC SAFETY, NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS, BUT ALSO TO OTHER PEOPLE AND PROPERTY THAT MIGHT GET HIT IN A CRASH. WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THINGS LIKE THIS GET SERIOUS ATTENTION? CHRYSLER LLC SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF ITSELF FOR NOT STEPPING UP. *TR

GOT PULLED OVER BY POLICE FOR HAVING RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT OUT. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS.

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE WENT OUT OVER 5 TIMES THIS YEAR. I REPLACED THE LIGHT AT MY EXPENSE EVERY TIME. I TOOK MY CAR TO A CAR SHOP TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED ONLY TO FIND OUT THE BULB HARNESSES WERE BURNT UP. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE BURNT UP BULB HARNESSES REPLACED BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE REMEDY IS AND I WAS TOLD MY CAR COULD NOT BE FIXED WITH OUT PAYMENT. THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR A DIFFERENT CAR. MY VIN # ONLY SHOWED THE ABS/ESC, DOOR HANDLE, AND AIRBAG HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FROM THE LOOK OF IT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THE ISSUE OCCURRED DUE TO THE ABS/ESC SYSTEM WHICH WAS RECALLED. *TR

RIGHT LOW BEAM HAS GONE OUT THREE TIMES OVER THE PAST THREE MONTHS. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW OF THE WIRING CONNECTOR THAT HOLDS THE BULB, THE CONNECTOR IS MELTED AND WILL NO LONGER ILLUMINATE A BULB. AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER'S RECALL TO INQUIRE AS TO IF THEY WILL FIX THE ISSUE, BECAUSE THERE IS A SIMILAR RECALL FOR THE POLICE ONLY MODELS, I WAS TOLD NO. I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE ENTIRE HARNESS AND WIRING REPLACED. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER/DODGE WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. DUE TO THE HEADLIGHT BEING OUT, I CAN BARELY DRIVE MY CAR. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF HAVING NO VISIBILITY OR A COLLISION. THE RECALL THAT WAS SENT WAS M01, HOWEVER CHRYSLER STATES THAT THIS RECALL IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO 2011-2012 POLICE VEHICLES. *TR

BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM WAS OUT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO REPLACE THE BULB. BOUGHT THE BULB AND APPROX. 4 DAYS LATER LOW BEAM WAS OUT AGAIN ALONG WITH THE A/C GOING IN AND OUT. TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THIS TIME THAT IT WAS FAULTY WIRING IN THE HARNESS AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT HAD MELTED, WHICH IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS REPAIRED IN JUNE 2012 DUE TO THE RECALL. REPLACED THE HARNESS AND ON THE SAME DAY OF PAYMENT AND RETRIEVING THE CAR, THE PASSENGER SIDE FOG LIGHT WAS OUT. OBVIOUSLY BY THIS POINT I WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PROBLEM AS THIS WAS THE 4TH VISIT. TOOK IT BACK A 5TH TIME FOR THE FOG LIGHT.

I REALLY WISH THEY HAD REPLACED BOTH SIDES SINCE THEY HAD IT ALL APART (HAVE TO TAKE BUMPER OFF TO GET TO HEADLIGHTS WHICH IS ANOTHER SAD STORY) - THEY COVERED THIS FIX BUT ONLY BECAUSE I HAD VEHICLE ON EXTENDED WARRANTY THIS SHOULD BE A PASSENGER VEHICLE RECALL TOO. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT AROUND FOR IT TO HAPPEN TO PASSENGER- SIDE (OR TO DRIVER SIDE AGAIN, SINCE CAUSE OF HARNESS MELTING SEEMS LIKELY TO BE SOMETHING DEEPER THAN JUST THE HARNESS/WIRING ITSELF - VOLTAGE REGULATION OR ???

I TRIED TO REPLACE THE BULB, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE LOW BEAM CONNECTOR WAS MELTED ON THAT SIDE OF THE CAR, WHICH WAS ENCASED BY IT'S OWN PROTECTIVE HOUSING. UPON CLEANING UP THE CONNECTION THE BEST I COULD, WE GOT THE LIGHT TO WORK. THE NEXT FEW MILES WERE OK, BUT THEN NOTICED THE SMELL AGAIN. THE OCCURRENCE IS NOW HAPPENING EVERY DAY, AND WE TRY TO CATCH IT BEFORE THE CONNECTOR MELTS. THE CAR MUST STAY AT HOME UNTIL THE DEALER CAN LOOK AT THIS AND SOLVE THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE OCCURRED AFTER A RECALL ON THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER WAS COMPLETED A FEW WEEKS AGO, RECALL M10 WAS COMPLETED, AND NOW SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAVE FOLLOWED. TO NOW END, THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD OVER 26 ISSUES IN A SPAN OF 16 MONTHS NOW. AND WE'VE DEEMED IT UNFIT FOR DRIVING SAFETY, TO INCLUDE, BRAKE, ABS, STRUT, SWAY BUSHINGS, ROTOR, STARTING, POWER DRAINS, ETC. THIS LIST IS LONGER THAN MENTIONED ABOVE. WIRING IS EXTREMELY HOT AROUND THERE. *JS
