2011 Chrysler 200 Exterior lighting Problems

“We recently purchased this vehicle and when we drove home on our rural roads we noted the headlights on low beam do not provide proper vision going uphill, illumination literally cuts off a short distance in front of you. This is extremely dangerous and using high beam is not always possible with on coming traffic yet there are still dead spots where you cannot see far enough ahead of you to avoid an animal, child or object in time to react.”

“Low beam illumination is very poor on this vehicle and model year. In dark area with little to no street lighting it is very easy to veer off the roadway due to lack of vehicle headlight illumination. My best estimate is that the low beams on this vehicle only illuminate about 2 to 3 car lengths ahead. Illumination off to sides of vehicle is also very poor. I would truly be shocked of no one has been maimed of killed yet as a result of this vehicles very poor lighting.”

“This is not a one time occurrence. With the low beam headlights on it is like a curtain over the road and is constantly moving. One minute you can see 300' and the next instant you can't see 40' in front of you. This is on a two lane road where their are not lights going up and down hills and curves. Never in my 55 years of driving have I ever seen anything like this. I have had it into dealer and they adjusted the low beams up but, the problem still happens. I have also reported it to Chrysler and they just say they will get back with me. It is very dangerous and will cause a wreck. …”

“One morning, while driving, I discovered that the lights were on but the switch was on off. The fog and bright lights would not function. The blinkers did not function. The windshield wipers, nor solvent would function. Took the car to the dealer and they had to reprogram the tipm. No explanation as to why it had to be reprogrammed.”

“Driver's headlight operates intermittently while passenger headlight is unaffected. Car has been to 2 shops and had multiple techs and no one can locate the problem. By intermittently I mean that the light may or may not work each time you start the car.”
