THE HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2000 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY AWD VAN HAVE FADED TO AN UNSAFE DIM LEVEL OF LIGHT. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WERE TOLD IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WANTED OVER $1000 TO PUT ALL NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. WE TRIED NEW BULBS ON OUR OWN, BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS AN EXPENSIVE, TOP-OF-THE-LINE MODEL AND MUCH TOO NEW TO HAVE SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS HEADLIGHTS FAIL. WE STILL FEEL THEY HAVE DIMMED AND ARE NOT SAFE. THIS IS THE FIRST COMPLAINT WE HAVE MADE. VIN: [XXX] *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
HEADLIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG.*AK
THERE IS NO INDEPENDENT ADJUSTMENT FOR AERO LIGHTS/ HALOGEN LAMPS. WHEN HIGH BEAM IS ACTIVATED, THEY ALL COME ON, AND SHOULD BE POINTED SLIGHTLY BELOW THE HORIZON. *AK *SLC
THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND WOULD NOT TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A DITCH. THE CONSUMER STATED A PIECE OF THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL BROKE OFF AND JAMMED THE STEERING COLUMN. *AK
