NHTSA Complaint #11131141 — 2010 DODGE CALIBER

MY HEADLIGHT WENT OUT ON MY CAR, I GOT A REPLACEMENT BULB, PUT IT IN AND NOTHING. I GOT ANOTHER BULB THINKING MAYBE IT'S A MALFUNCTIONING BULB. STILL DIDN'T WORK, TESTED THE LIGHT SOCKET AND NO POWER TO IT, LOOKED UP ON GOOGLE FOR HEADLIGHT MALFUNCTIONING ON 2010 DODGE CALIBERS AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND VIDEOS REGARDING THIS ISSUE GOING BACK TO 2007 DODGE CALIBERS. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT STATES ITS NOT A "SAFETY ISSUE" HOWEVER YOU CAN GET A TICKET FOR A HEADLIGHT BEING OUT AND YOUR CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION WITHOUT A HEADLIGHT. SO HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE? THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, JUST FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC OF THIS ISSUE WILL COST ME $114/HOUR TO HAVE THE SHOP DIAGNOSE THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, NOT FIX IT, JUST TELL ME WHAT IT IS AND THEN LABOR AND PARTS TO FIX IT. CHECK EDMONDS.COM THERE ARE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT HEADLIGHT FAILURES. THIS IS A TIPM PROBLEM THAT APPEARS TO TRIGGER CALIBER HEADLIGHT FAILURE AND TO REPLACE IT IS EXPENSIVE AND DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND DOES NOTHING
