NHTSA Complaint #10638561 — 2012 DODGE DART

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE EXTREMELY DIM. THE ACCIDENT REFERENCED ABOVE CAUSED NO DAMAGE BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO AVOID GOING INTO A DITCH AT AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE OF THE SLOW SPEED. HOWEVER, I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING IN THE SIDE-DITCHES WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE IT BOTH AT NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING DARKNESS. WHEN I ASKED HIM ABOUT IT, HE REPLIED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND "THEY ARE JUST NOT VERY BRIGHT, AND WERE ABOUT LIKE THE CHRYSLER 200. MY ROOMMATE HAS A DODGE CHARGER 2014, AND HIS LIGHTS ARE AS BRIGHT AS MOST CARS LIGHTS ARE. AS THIS SITUATION IN THESE DARTS COULD CAUSE DEATHS, I FEEL THIS MODEL CAR SHOULD BE CHECKED OUT THOROUGHLY AND BRIGHTER HEADLIGHTS INSTALLED, AND A RECALL MADE FOR THOSE ALREADY ON THE ROAD. *TR
