Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As I was driving (at night) my headlights went completely off for approximately 3seconds--I slowed down because I couldn't see a thing. It was pretty scary, but I handled it.”
NHTSA complaint #10627636, filed 2014-08, 134,000 miles“Driver's tail lens fell off while driving at 65 MPH on the way to lubbock tx. It is not hit or damaged in any shape or form. The glue simply failed holding lens onto tail light assembly. This needs to be screwed or recalled for improper installation. Dealer wants approximately $320. For part and does not include installation. I googled this issue and there are several complaints on the web. This is a hazard while driving at night as it blinds drivers behind me and most likely could get a ticket from police departments.”
NHTSA complaint #10421937, filed 2011-08, 138,992 miles“Headlights turned off while driving. Very dangerous. Has happened multiple times. Very scary driving on interstate at night in rain in traffic. Had to pull over. Flickering the switch on and off got the headlights back on. Only to go out again and again... And again. I was concerned the person in front of me thought I kept turning my headlights off for some reason but I could not control them. Now sometimes when I turn my car off, the bells ring because it thinks the lights are on so I must toggle the switch to stop that. Very frustrating and very dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #10428452, filed 2011-10, 105,000 miles“Headlights intermittently dim and then eventually they have started to turn off while driving. Once when turn signals had been on and now just when turn the lights on. Had it into the dealer and they upgraded the software for the headlights and that apparently still hasn't stopped the problem. It lasts from a few seconds to almost a minute while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #10209763, filed 2007-11, 50,000 miles“Headlights would go out and stay out for 30-90 seconds at a time. Happened 3 or 4 times on the way home. Leading up to this,the lights had been flickering or dimming once or twice a week. We contacted Chrysler, and several dealers, and all of them claim no knowledge of this problem.”
