Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The headlamps have been replaced multiple times, way more than they should need. We replaced the drivers side low beam in december 2019, april 2020 and now it is it out again - november 2020. In addition, there are no warning lights to let the driver know the low beam light is out. Our vehicle only has 44800 miles on it. Please investigate as head lanps are expensive.”
NHTSA complaint #11376990, filed 2020-11, 44,800 miles“We purchased 4 of these Dodge promasters about 4 years ago. During the first year we were replacing headlights about every 2 months. Dodge told us that we needed to use their heavy duty bulbs. These bulbs seem to last about 1 year. They have a 2 year warranty on original purchase, so after 2 years we have to pay again. This last time the bulb blew it also melted the housing the bulbs sits in. We were required to replace the assembly and the bulbs. I believe Dodge has a voltage issue causing premature bulb failure and now creating a fire hazard. Headlights should not burn out in a year!”
NHTSA complaint #11432883, filed 2021-09“Headlight bulbs and sockets are burning out changed out both sides within less than 6 months of each other. Last week right headlight bulb in a week the left side went out????”
