What owners wrote
While driving at 55 MPH at night consumer's vehicle was involved in a collision due to the poor brightness of the headlights. The high beams were not bright enough. Dealership indicated to consumer, the vehicle was operating as designed.
My vehicles running lights stopped working and I was unable to be seen by other drivers behind me in a snow storm because my fuse box just corroded out and stopped working causing the parking lamps relay to fault. Now my vehicle has no running lights working anymore and dodge did not recall this.
