Having electrical issues with the low beams on the headlights. It started as one light not working, then went to both lights not working. We have to use the high beams at night. The car is due a safety inspection and will not pass due to the lighting problem. There's also issues with the electric windows not operating and the check engine light comes on. I have spoken with Chrysler about the problem and they will not do anything because our warranty has run out. They did say that if a recall were to happen I could get reimbursed. We do not have the funds to fix it.
Low beam headlight on passenger side will not turn on took into a shop and they said that it is the tipm telling the light not to turn on so in other words its a bad tipm. I was made aware that the part would be close to $1200. I've researched this issue online and I see that it is a very common issue. The other day the driver side decided to turn off as well. What happens when I'm driving in the dark and the one headlight that I do have decides to turn off and I get into an accident. A recall needs to be set into motion on this part. Apparently the tipm causes many issues other than just what I'm experiencing.
While driving my car at night my right headlight went out,replaced bulb and discovered new bulb does not work,problem was diagnosed as a bad totally integrated power module,so a $20. 00 lamp turned into a costly $1200. 00 repair, what if all lights went out? as I investigated this issue it is very common on Chrysler/Dodge vehicles, this occurrence of failure can and will be a danger if you encounter failure whiling driving at night and lose all lights or other components, I believe Chrysler /Dodge should be held accountable for this failure in their design of this necessary component in their vehicles and a safety recall should be ordered! thank you.

In November of 2008 my left passenger headlight stopped working so I went to have the bulb replaced and was told there is no power going to the outlet. So I tool it to a shop to see what is going on and they stated that the relay for the light is bad. This is a very expensive fix that after two years I am still not able to afford. I was told this is a dealer only part and they would have to replace all the wiring so it would be around $700. 00.
