“The front headlight went out and I tried to replace it. Apparently there is a sensor that is malfunctioning and it has to be ordered. Im scared to drive at night because visibility is limited. The part has been ordered but I was told its on back order at the dealership. Id like this fixed asap because I also would not like to get a ticket for driving with a headlight that is out.”
NHTSA complaint #11182332, filed 2019-02, 93,000 miles“Regarding the rear back up camera, the camera is a vital tool for us, the vehicle was literally one month out of manufacturer warranty and it went out. Then we went to our local dealership for a service and asked the service writer if they could repair the camera under warranty and without even looking in the computer he quickly responded that we would have to pay out of pocket, is the camera not a safety device? I really wish dealerships would stand behind their products.”
NHTSA complaint #11385427, filed 2020-12, 75,362 miles“The headlight on the passenger side keeps going on and off this is a safety issue it has been to the dealership but could not find anything wrong something is wrong headlights don't go on and off going down the street for no reason”
NHTSA complaint #11075743, filed 2018-03, 45,000 miles“The Dodge dart has a malfunction that might have contributed in many crashes this car has been involved in. The issue is that some darts will experience a malfunction where the lights inside the car will randomly flicker (should they be on), digital dash will also flicker and navigation screen will either restart or just shut off. The biggest problem in all of this is that the power steering will always temporarily shut off and make it extremely hard to steer the car for a few seconds and this can happen during turns. …”
