Headlights Problems of Dodge Avenger

Had to replace computer in my car twice. Front driver side headlight wiring keeps burning out. Afraid this car will catch fire with myself and my family in it. Vehicle stopped in moving traffic almost causing accidents. Back and forth to dealerships for guess work. No faith in Dodge anymore. Stopped several more times after leaving the dealership. Was without a car for so long almost lost my employment. Car would start most mornings just turn but not crank. Will upload documents when I go pick it up from the dealership yet again.

I recently reported my vehicle accelerating on its own up to the speed of 82 mph also thinking that this was a weird occurrence that would not happen again. I was wrong. While driving 40 mpg getting ready to enter a turn my car again started accelerating on its own, foot off the gas was not going down hill or any other reason to pick up speed. Also on this same day I started my car and my headlights came on as they should, I noticed my high beams on thinking they were left on from the last time I drove my car I turned them off. Driving down the road the high beams all of a sudden came in. I turned them off thinking it was strange. Again 2 more times on my way home the high beams automatically came on by themselves. I believe there are some major computer issues with this vehicle but again I am sure of chryslers response ahead of time. Called Chrysler they just say well if you take it to a dealer maybe they can see if there are any codes. Prior to this my sensor had gone bad, lights not working all kinds of things and the dealer was not able to find out what was wrong because there were no codes. Took to new dealer they used common sense and not waited for only codes to come up and found the sensor was dead. This vehicle is an accident waiting to happen!.

There is a brown fog building up in the headlight lenses, causing the light to be dim making it hard for the consumer to see while driving at night. The cause is unknown and the dealer was notified. The consumer states that there is no moisture build up and is not on the outside of the lights.

Heat from headlights was melting inside of headlight cover. Vehicle cannot pass inspection with this problem. Also, high beams have to be activated for driving abilty. Dealer and manufacturer were notified, and have been receiving same other complaints. Both head light lamp assemblies need to be replaced to correct the problem.

The housings for the headlights are supposed to be sealed. Moisture has formed inside of the units and limits the effectiveness of the lights, creating an unsafe driving situation at night. The only way to fix the problem,the units cannot be oppened for cleaning, is to buy new units for $300 each. This is unreasonable and irresponsible design and manufacturing.

While driving at night right side headlight has a film or coating that obstructs vision.

Headlights lens developed a cloudy discoloration that reduced the light illumination. The lens could not be cleaned or replaced because it was a sealed unit. The entire headlight assembly had to be replaced, which was very costly.

When I bought this vehicle it had 53,925 miles. I noticed that the headlights had some type of haze (or moisture) inside of them. I went to the local Dodge dealer and asked about the problem. They said the lights are a sealed unit and that if I would like to purchase new ones they would be $325 each. The problem with the headlights is not so much that they are an eye sore, but that they are a safety hazard. The moisture on my headlights never goes away. Therefore, affecting the brilliance of the light emitting from the bulb. I have to drive with high-beams on to be able to see the road. This is not a problem with only my vehicle. I see moisture inside of about 80 percent of the Avengers I pass on the road. The coverage over the headlight lenses just gets worse as time goes by. The light emitting from the headlights becomes dimmer and dimmer. With regular beams at night, it is almost impossible to see everything a driver is supposed to. These headlights are a big problem with this car. They are a safety hazard that should be taken care of. Paying $750 to fix a manufacturers' safety defect is not reasonable. Please look into this. Mr.

The clear plastic headlight lenses on our vehicle are deteriorating to the point that night visibility is severely limited. The deterioration is on the outer surface of the headlight lens, as evidenced by a rough texture. There is no evidence on the painted surface or windshield that this vehicle has been driven or garaged in abrasive or corrosive conditions.
