NHTSA Complaint #10532077 — 2011 DODGE CHARGER

THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT APPEARED TO HAVE BURNED OUT. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. THE HEADLAMP HARNESS FOR THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BECAME SO HOT IT MELTED AND BEGAN SMOKING. THIS IS AN APPARENT SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR MODEL. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND THE ONLY RECALL IS FOR POLICE VEHICLES. THE REST OF US HAVE TO FORK MONEY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX A CLEAR AND APPARENT MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON AN UNLIT ROADWAY AFTER DARK. MY HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AND BEGAN SMOKING. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND DISASSEMBLE MY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO KEEP IT FROM SMOKING. *TR
