Description of the problem	I was driving home at 10:30 at night on thursday the 15th of november 2012 driving 65 mph on state highway 64 in pawnee county oklahoma and the windshield wipers went on by themselves and then the head lights went off by themselves. I took the vehicle to the dodge dealer and they recommended that i replace a clock spring but weren't even sure if that would fix the headlight issue. Not to mention charging me $300 for the part when i have the extended electronics warranty on the vehicle. I feel that this is a very major safety issue and dodge needs to look into it further and correct the issue at no charge to the owners, this is obviously a manufacturer defect. There is no reason this vehicle should have this issue. It is a liability to dodge if not corrected. Please look into this issue as it could end up costing someone their life. I would like to make sure that this gets looked into. Please send me a supervisors number or email so i make sure this gets attention. If i do not hear something back within 48 hours, i will contact the secretary of transportation myself, a mr. Ray lahood through senator coburn. I am really pissed off about the situation. You drive down a road with your family in the dark of night and unexpectedly your headlights go out and you risk your families life. Dodge didn't act like it was a big deal, but it could end up being a major liability for them if they do not remedy the situation.
