| Description of the problem | I noticed that my driver side headlight was out, and replaced the bulb. After having tried two new bulbs none worked. The low beam is out, but the high beam works. I pull trailers all the time and haul heavy loads. I noticed that it affects the lights on my trailer and this is a very serious matter. This can cause an accident. After looking this up ( failed tipm) there are many many complaints about these trucks doing the same thing, and a recall has not yet been issued. The dealership wants an arm and a leg to fix just one headlamp. I contacted chrysler and they stated that there is nothing they can do, i need to take it to the dealer and pay $1,000+ to have it fixed?!?! I am afraid that while driving at night my lights are going to fail and have an accident! We need to get this fixed immediately and consumers cannot afford to have it fixed as it is an ongoing issue with the same vehicle and part! *js |
