| Description of the problem | Just the other day when i went to go to the store my low beam head lights came on but when i went to go home, i started the truck and the low beam headlights would not come on and i had to take back streets with only my parking lights. This has been a common problem with dodge trucks and autos for many years. I cannot afford to pay $1000. 00 for a computer board when this is a common problem with dodge. After looking on - line, i fund that many of dodge's models but there has been no recall. This is such a common problem that is it not time for the u. S. Government to force dodge to recall all these models and years! It is a safety problem when the lights stop working at night when the auto is being driven. My low beams would not come back on when i returned to the truck to go home so i was not driving the truck but needed to and the lights would not come on when i started it.
