Example complaints

“Passenger side headlight began flickering off and on for months. Finally went out all the way. Replaced bulb. Did not fix the issue. Checked fuses as this seemed to be a common issue on internet forums. Did not fix issue. Next step is changing headlight pigtail. I just saw that there was a recall on the 2011-2012 Charger headlight wiring harness. I believe the Dodge needs to expand their recall after all the customers experiencing issues with one sided headlight failure.”
NHTSA complaint #11404050, filed 2021-03, 100,000 miles“Today my car turned off all of a sudden out of no where. I have stated to the dealer for years that it is not normal for a car to say battery saver mode and lights, radio, dash and all electrical devices in a vehicle to turn of or stutter of and on. They said it is normal and that it is my battery. If a car turns on the alternator is supposed to take all the load off of the battery running in the engine nothing else. My car has stuttered multiple time off and in while driving and even almost turned off. …”
NHTSA complaint #11257787, filed 2019-09, 90,167 miles“The LED's have started to go out (not illuminate) in the center, deck mounted tail light assembly. This is a safety item as it provides rear illumination at night. Apparently, this is an extremely common problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11325296, filed 2020-05, 60,000 miles“The LED stop lights on all the new vehicles are very, very brights. When directly behind on after dark at a stop the lights are so bright that they hurt my eyes, forcing me to close my eyes until they release the brake. This is not the only make/model with this issue: all new cars with LED brake lights have the same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10648754, filed 2014-10“The new line of Dodge cars (challenger, dart, Charger) have a LED ring of lights as the rear tail lights on the cars. They are way too bright for tail lights (notice I didn't say brake lights). They need to be changed out with softer/dimmer lights. It's like following someone with high-beam tail lights. I hope there is something that can be done to make Dodge stop doing this, and prevent other auto makers from installing bright LED lights on the rear of cars.”
