| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I drive quite a bit during the night time with my vehicle. there seems to be a very serious issuse with the wiring over heating at the headlight switch. i have replaced 5 ... going to be 6 headlight switches. there is a dangerous amount of head being put out at the switch itself. so much that it actually melts the pigtail at the light switch connection. the light switch itself is destroyed. its bad especcially when driving down the road and your headlamps, marker lights and dash light all go out. if i do not have a replacment part in my truck at the time, i have to find a spot in between switch position just to get my lights operational to "limp" my truck home. my choice of positions when the switch fails is headlamps with out markers and no dash lights or fog lamps markers and dash lights. being dodge has such terrible headlamps i use fog lights to drive when this happenes. believe it or not he fog lights are better than the driving lights. i recently saw a recall for dodge durangos with a under dash electrical problem. i would think that this wiring/headlamp switch problem should be a recall! thank you. |
