Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The drivers side headlight is out. The bulb was replaced and it still does not work. I was told that the tipm needed to be replaced. I was told that this is not a safety issue. It is a safety issue for only having one head light. I guess when I receive a citation for only one headlight then the citation will be mailed to Dodge for reimbursement.”
NHTSA complaint #10620892, filed 2014-08, 145,827 miles“When the headlights are turned on, the instrument panel lights and the radio lights do not come on. At first the lights would blink on and off, now they do not come on at all. This can be dangerous when traveling at night. I did a google search and discovered that this is a common problem with some Dodge vehilcles. I did a NHTSA search and did not find a recall for this problem. This problem occurs whether in motion or stationary, on a street or highway”
NHTSA complaint #11302616, filed 2020-01, 78,000 miles“My car started making a noise and idling high last year. It started cutting itself off and eventually it wouldn't start. I replaced the alternator and battery. Now less than a year later 2014, the low lights don't work and it is starting to make the same noise and cut itself off. Now I'm being told its the total integrated power module.”
NHTSA complaint #10598772, filed 2014-06, 80,000 miles“My drivers side driving light was out so I bought a new bulb. That didn't fix the problem so I looked online and saw everyone was having the same problem and it seems to be the tipm which is around 1000.00 to fix. If we are all having the same problem I would think it's something that Dodge should be taking care of not the consumer!”
NHTSA complaint #10614906, filed 2014-07, 65,600 miles“Rt headlight not working. I replaced bulb but later found out that my fuse box needed to be replaced . Apparently this is a common issue. Light all of a sudden stopped working. It limits my visibility at night at posses a threat to drivers who don't see me while driving at night.”
