Eight problems related to headlights have been reported for the 1998 Chrysler Concorde. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The headlights covers are made of plastic. This plastic has filmed over reducing the effectivness of the headlights. This is not unique to my car. I have noticed it on all simular year/make/model of my car. The dealer tells me they could only replace the headlight assemblies at a considerable out of pocket expense for me. This is not safe - it is an obvious manufacture defect that the maker must correct.
Consumer noticed that the headlights were fogged up. This caused poor visibility to the driver when driving at night. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the headlights needed to be replaced. Also, trunk lid would fall intermittently, causing injury to consumer's shoulders. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the shocks needed to be replaced.
: the contact stated while driving 65 mph at night on normal road conditions, there was poor headlight illumination. When the vehicle was taken to the dealership to replace the radiator fan, the contact was alerted that the head light gasket needed to be changed, which required the bumper to be dismounted to replace the head light lamp. The was made the repair rather expensive. The moisture and dust entering into the head light reduced the illumination power creating a safety risk for night driving. The manufacturer was contacted who connected conferenced the dealership. The dealership determined there was not recall for the head light defect and the repair had to be covered by the contact. The contact refused to perform the repair. Later the head light lamp was replaced by an independent mechanic who did not replace the gasket, consequently the poor illumination problem remained without resolution.
Cars with high lights, and blue lights are blinding this old man trying to drive at night. Many times I have tipped the mirrors away from my sight when high lights approach from the rear. And the new blue lights are much to hard to fact at night.
Headlight seals are coming off during normal operation of vehicle. This has occurred on front/left, and front/right headlight covers. Dealership did not examine vehicle for this problem. Please provide any additional information / documentation.
Headlights go out while driving without notice. Very dangerous condition!.
Rubber seal around 2 headlamps would come off. Adhesive fails to retain rubber seal in place. There isn't any distortion of visibility when this happens. Seal would be hanging off. Have not taken to dealer or mechanic. Consumer stated that these rubber seals have come unglued and are hanging from the lamps.
Consumer states the headlights rubber out liner seems to let water seek through causing problems with headlights of vehicle.
