Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ON A COOL FALL DAY ON A SMOOTH PAVED INTERSTATE, WITH NOONE AROUND. I HEARD A NOISE LIKE SOMETHING FLYING OFF MY CAR. NOT BEING TOO CONCERNED AS MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE, I CONTINUED DRIVING AND ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION. AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE VAN, I NOTICED THE ENTIRE RED COVER ON MY REAR TAIL LIGHT- DRIVER'S SIDE- HAD COMPLETLY FALLEN OFF! OBVIOUSLY SINCE I WASN'T EVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND DIDN'T RUN INTO ANYTHING THAT DAY, IT MUST BE A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. I HAVE FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE IN REGARDS TO THIS WITH THE 2005 DODGE CARAVAN. AS I'M ON A TIGHT BUDGET, NOW I HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO GET THIS TAIL LIGHT FIXED SO I CAN PASS MY VEHICLE INSPECTION THAT IS DUE. NOT VERY HAPPY WITH DODGE RIGHT NOW!! THANK YOU FOR INVESTIGATING THIS REPORT. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND HOPE THIS COMPLAINT MOVES FURTHER TO A RECALL. *TR
