Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH MY HEADLAMPS NOT TURNING ON. IF I JIGGLE THE FUSE BOX OR PULL THE RELAY OUT THEY WILL COME ON. THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE TO MANIPULATE THE FUSE BOX TO GET MY HEADLIGHTS ON AT ALL. ALL OTHER LIGHTS WORK. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY VAN SINCE I HAVE TO POP THE HOOD EVERY TIME I NEED HEADLIGHTS AND SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THEY WORK. AS A WOMAN IT IS NOT SAFE TO BE IN A PUBLIC PLACE WITH MY VAN HOOD UP. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE DODGE CORRECT THIS DEFECT! *TR
