NHTSA Complaint #11299182 — 2016 DODGE DART

THE TURN INDICATOR STALK/LEVER IN MY CAR IS BROKEN. IT IS A MULTI-TASK LEVER DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT CONTROLS MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WINDOW CLEANER, AND ENABLES ME TO SWITCH MY LIGHTS FROM DIM TO BRIGHT. THE LEVER NOW FALLS AND CALLS MY TURNING LIGHTS TO BLINK CONTINUOUSLY WHILE I'M DRIVING AS WELL AS CAUSE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS TO JUST POP UP WHEN I'M DRIVING BEHIND SOMEONE AT NIGHT. I FEEL THAT THIS CAN BE A DANGER TO ANYONE BECAUSE THEY CAN THINK SOMEONE IS TURNING AND KEEP GOING, OR CAN BE BLINDED BY THE BRIGHT LIGHTS SWITCHING ON AND OFF. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY STATED THAT THERE IS A BACKORDER ON THE PART AND THAT 150 PEOPLE WERE AHEAD OF ME WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM UNABLE TO GET THE PART UNTIL MID-FEBRUARY, BUT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT COULD BE PUSHED BACK FARTHER THAN THAT. I ASKED FOR SOMETHING SO IF I WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH MY LIGHTS, I WOULD HAVE SOMETHING COVERING ME. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANYTHING STATING THAT THERE WAS A BACK-ORDER ON THE PART.
