NHTSA complaint #10107613, filed 2005-01, 200 miles“My dimmer switch has not been functioning since 10/31/04. I am not able to see anything on the dashboard when driving at night. This makes it very hard to drive at night. Rather dangerous. Chrysler is stating that they have no idea when the part will be available. As it sounds to me the part is not even being manufactured at this time.”
