NHTSA Complaint #10102778 — 2004 DODGE DURANGO

THE FOG LIGHTS, LOCATED IN THE BUMPER OF THE 2004 DODGE DURANGO IS DAMAGED WHEN DEBRIS (ROCKS) FROM THE ROAD WAY ARE KICKED UP. THE FOG LIGHTS ARE MADE OF GLASS BUT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE COVERED IN PLASTIC. LITTLE STONES WHERE KICKED UP BY TRUCKS WHICH BROKE BOTH FOG LAMPS COSTING 140 DOLLARS IN REPAIR FOR JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROADWAY. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THESE LAMPS ARE MADE OF GLASS WHICH CAUSED THEM TO BREAK AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THEY SHOULD BE COVERED WITH PLASTIC TO PREVENT THIS COSTLY REPAIR. *JB
