Description of the problem	Headlights do not come on have to turn switch many times before you get them to come on and then sometimes it still does not work. Lights will also dim on their own while you are driving have actually gone off and had to pull over until i could get them back on. Mechanics say they can not do anything until they see it happen. There are never any mechanics open when it is dark so you can never prove this really happens. They have checked switches and things all seem to be fine. Automatic door locks just stopped working one day. Tried the other key thought maybe the battery in my key was dead. Nothing. The lights will still flash and the horn will sound when you use buttons on the key but locks do not open or close. The back door hatch seems to work but other four locks do not. Very frustrating and unsafe these days to be in some areas we drive without having our doors locked. Also you can only get into one side of the car and the have to reach over to unlock all others very inconvenient! I'm actually afraid they will lock and never unlock at this point. I've read many complaints about the locks and think dodge should be looking into this seriously. I have also read a report about the lights and am glad someone else has experienced this so i know i am not crazy. This is also a very huge safety issue and should be looked at immediately!
