The contact owns a 2004 Chrysler 300m. The contact was driving 55 mph at night. The headlights were in activation with a dim illumination which resulted to limited visibility. The high beam headlights were engaged to increase the visibility. The failure began when the vehicle was purchased and progressed over a period of time. The vehicle was taken an authorized dealer for inspection. The vehicle has not been repaired due to the service repair cost. The current and failure mileages were 83,000.

Headlight lens is very cloudy. Oxidation appeared on the lens. Consumer found it difficult to drive at night. Manufacturer offered no assistance.

Our 1999 Chrysler 300m (VIN #2c3-he66g2xh-622721) has plastic aerodynamic head lamps that have developed a "haze" that severely reduces the illumination of the road at night. I am not an engineer and do not purport to offer a professional opinion on this issue, but can report as a consumer that the illumination appears to be about half of what it was when the car was new. This haze began appearing somewhere in the three to four year of age range. It took a while to figure out what was going on but by five years of age the deterioration was at a point where we believe it is a lighting safety issue. I discussed this situation with ted vogalie who is the district level representative for Chrysler on January 16, 2004 at the ancira Chrysler dealership in san antonio, TX. I requested that Chrysler treat this as a defective part and replace the headlights. Mr. Vogalie refused to offer this assistance. In our conversation he made much of the fact that the haze appeared to be on the outside of the headlight and cited this and the age/mileage of the car (5 years/ 57,000 miles) as reasons for not offering to replace the headlights. I explained to him that this car's usage can be characterized as "coddled" since it is routinely parked in a garage and has no unusual road conditions or other unusual usage. This condition is dangerous enough that I have ordered replacement headlights and am going to replace these defective parts even though the retail cost of doing this replacement is around $800. It is unconscionable that Chrysler is allowed to equip an automobile with a defective part like this that poses a safety issue so early in the automobile's life and unload a very expensive repair on the consumer. I have an extended warranty issued by Chrysler on the car and this part is not covered.

I have a Chrysler 300 m VIN # 2c3he66g3xh784714. The aerodynamic head lights on the car developed a haze that severely reduces the illumination of the roadway at night. I have complained to the dealership and they say that the problem is not covered warranty. It seems to me that there is probably a government standard or engineering standard for the required amount of road illumination needed to make operation of a vehicle safe at night. I wonder how many cars are driving in substandard lighting conditions due to having these plastic lenses that do not hold up to road conditions and are so hazy as to make safe driving visibility questionable. I know that all the modern cars have these type lenses but how can the nhsta not require that these devices be made to endure the expected life of the vehicles they are installed on. When they are new they look good. Beyond 2 years they begin to deteriorate rapidly. And here is the real customer rip off: the dealer tells me that for a mere $700 plus dollars they can replace these fixtures. They also come with no guarantee!. What was wrong with the earlier model cars that had glass head lamps and could be replaced for less that $ 10. 00 total. They did not haze up like this expensive cheap plastic. It would be interesting to know how many night time accidents really happen because of poor visibility, yet do not get attributed to such simply because the drivers did have their lights on and that is all that was considered necessary. Again if you drive very much you probably have been stopped by the road patrol at night due to having a head lamp out. Seems to me that this problem is just as significant as driving with a head lamp out. What are we missing here? is it against the law for me to drive at night without any lights? there must be some requirement to ensure that manufacturers design with adequate lighting for driving at night, and that should mean that the lighting be serviceable for the expected life of the vehicle.

Consumer stated the headlights did not working properly, the dealer inspected the vehicle twice, and could not duplicate or correct the problem. Contacted service dealer and found problem. Please disregard complaint.

The headlights on the vehicle are made of plastic which has faded into a yellow color, making it very hard to see at night. Took to dealer. Problem has not been resolved.

Headlights will not always come on at nighht after pulling switch. Vehicle would fail to start. Took to dealer & mechanic was suppose to have repaired problem. Picked up vehicle & the headlight problem still exists. Been back & forth numerous times for the headlight problem.

The head lights displayed poor visibility. There appeared to be a flaw in the design of the vehicle that presented a safety hazard. The front bumper was so low that there was an area of complete darkness on the road between the two headlights when driven at night. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer on several occasions and they stated it was a design problem.

Consumer states that after a long period of time the headlight lenses start to turn from clear to a white cloudy color, consumer can barely see the road.
