Consumer Description

RIGHT LOW BEAM HAS GONE OUT THREE TIMES OVER THE PAST THREE MONTHS. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW OF THE WIRING CONNECTOR THAT HOLDS THE BULB, THE CONNECTOR IS MELTED AND WILL NO LONGER ILLUMINATE A BULB. AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER'S RECALL TO INQUIRE AS TO IF THEY WILL FIX THE ISSUE, BECAUSE THERE IS A SIMILAR RECALL FOR THE POLICE ONLY MODELS, I WAS TOLD NO. I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE ENTIRE HARNESS AND WIRING REPLACED. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER/DODGE WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. DUE TO THE HEADLIGHT BEING OUT, I CAN BARELY DRIVE MY CAR. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF HAVING NO VISIBILITY OR A COLLISION. THE RECALL THAT WAS SENT WAS M01, HOWEVER CHRYSLER STATES THAT THIS RECALL IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO 2011-2012 POLICE VEHICLES. *TR
