Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The tail lights are randomly working and not working on both sides. One minute both the brake and turn light works, the next one or another or both don't work. They are LED modules that require the entire assembly be replaced. The van only has 49,700 miles on it. To replace the assembly and the wire harness costs $700 plus labor each side. An independent repair shop (not Dodge) confirmed that it is the tail light assemblies and not a computer module or switch. The third brake light and the reverse lamps work perfectly. It does not matter if you have your running lights on or if they are off. …”
