2016 RAM PROMASTER Exterior Lighting Problems

The problem I'm having with my truck is I can't keep a head light from burning out. I just had one quit that was a month old. I've been using the spec. lamp from Sylvania H7. What really sucks about this is in the past 2 years I've installed at least 7 or 8 head lamps, and at a cost of $45 to $55 bucks each it's Bull#@#$. Why can't Dodge come up with a better head lamp.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram Promaster. The contact stated that the vehicle headlight bulbs would blow approximately every 6 months. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 80.

ABOUT EVERY 3 MONTHS WE ARE HAVING TO REPLACE LIGHT BULBS IN EITHER HEADLAMP. ONE OR THE OTHER KEEPING BURNING OUT. WE REPLACE THE BULBS TOGETHER AND USE GLOVES AS TO NOT DESTROY THE BULB. WE JUST HAD THE VAN INTO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ON OCT. 5, 2018 FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY RAN A CHECK ON THE WIRING SYSTEM AND FOUND NOTHING. THEN SUNDAY THE ONE BULB WENT OUT AGAIN AND WE REPLACED IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS ADDRESS.

I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE S29 / NHTSA 16-E-039. THE RAM DEALERSHIP THAT I TOOK IT TO ON 7/18/16 FOR RECALL REMEDY WAS UNABLE GET TO THE PART DUE TO "AFTERMARKET UPFIT BY WINNEBAGO". I CALLED WINNEBAGO NUMEROUS TIMES AND WAS EVENTUALLY TOLD JUST TODAY THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THE MODULE REFERRED TO IN THE RECALL, THAT THEY NEITHER PURCHASE THE VEHICLE WITH THE MODULE NOR DO THEY INSTALL THE MODULE..SO THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. I CALLED NHTSA TODAY AND A REPRESENTATIVE INDICATED THAT THE DEFECTIVE PART IS ON MY VEHICLE. EITHER WINNEBAGO OR NHTSA IS IN ERROR. IF NHTSA IS IN ERROR, THE RECALL NOTICE SHOULD BE CORRECTED. IF WINNEBAGO IS IN ERROR, THEN THEY AND OR RAM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECT REMEDY.
