Low beam headlights turn off without warning while driving on city roads or highway. Usual one or the other, but sometimes both at the same time causing an extremely dangerous situation. This issue started in June of 2015 and happens now every time this vehicle is driven. This has been a problem for Dodge Chargers. There seems to be an earlier safety recall to fix this safety issue.

I noticed there is a recall on exterior headlights on 2011 Dodge Chargers, manufactured between may 2010 and November 2011 my Charger r/t max was manufactured in that time. But this recall is not noted to my VIN #, I looked into it the recall is on exterior headlights is on the right side of the Chargers manufactured in the time noted above, that is exactly the problem in my vehicle manufactured in the same time frame. When I start my car the lights turns on, but after I begin driving they turn off on the right side.

Since December, I have experienced a very noticeable flicker of the headlights and dash lights. This has caused oncoming drivers to flash their headlights in response to the flickering. The dealership has replaced my battery and checked the electrical system. When I googled "Dodge Charger flickering headlights", there were posts by a substantial number of Charger owners experiencing the same problem, some are experiencing headlight failure. I believe this is a safety issue worthy of investigation.

The headlights on my car started flashing almost every time I turn them on, and this is forcing me to not be able to drive at night. It started with a flash on 12/2/2014, and now it occurs every time I drive the vehicle. I have been told that it could be anything in the front end causing a short and have checked for recalls but this is not a determined recall at this time. The dealership has been no help and wants to charge extra money just to look at it. Considering I have seen many other drivers with the same make/ model/ year vehicle in car forums and blogs regarding this very same issue, I'm hoping this report will help push for an investigation as I have to drive for my employment and do not want to get a traffic ticket for faulty equipment.

Drivers side headlight continues to go out even after changing the bulb 4 times. Looks like a harness melting problem that has been recalled for the same model year except only in police vehicles. It is clearly a problem for other types than just police cars.

Right front low beam headlight goes off and only works if I turn on the high beams. This has occurred on several occasions.

While im driving home around approx. 10:30 pm . I was going uphill on a bridge in a curve when my headlights went completely out on my vehicle causing me to crash to the opposite side of the bridge in the on-coming traffic lane . There also were a couple vehicles approaching a couple hundred yards away in front of me. So I had to stop my vehicle in the middle of the road . I had to leave my vehicle on the side of the road for the remainder of the night because my headlights didnt come back on at all. I really feared for my life that night.

First, the passenger side headlight wiring melts. I take my vehicle to the dealership only to find out their is recall on the headlights and it going to take 14 weeks for me to get my vehicle repaired. Second, the battery saver mode message appears. I take it to the shop and they check the battery and it was dead, so I bought a new battery only to have my vehicle to stop on me again. This time I'm told it's the alternator but none are in stock anywhere! I also find out this is an issue with many 2011 Dodge Chargers. What does Chrysler do about it - nothing, sad.

One of my low beam headlights has been out for two weeks. I set up a service appointment with local dealer over a month ago when I initially received the recall notice. I called back and asked them to expedite my appointment, but was told they are only allowed to order 1 repair kit per week so it will still be a while before they are able to get to my car. I called Chrysler and was told they can't expedite orders for parts involved in recalls. This makes no sense, if there are safety issues those parts should be sent out as soon as possible.

A safety recall (p08) was issued starting 5/9/14. Took car to dealership for wiring harness insepction on 6/25/14 because right side headlight had just gone out. Dealership inspected, but did not have the parts in stock to replace bad harness. Was put on a waiting list for parts as dealership states they only get one set of parts per week from Chrysler for this recall. As of today, 9/2/14, I am still on the waiting list. In the meantime, I have been pulled over and ticketed for a non-working headlight. My concern is driving at night and worrying what would happen if the other headlight goes out. This is a safety recall and I can't get my car fixed because Chrysler isn't sending enough parts to dealerships. Is it going to take a crash with injuries or fatalities in order for parts to become available? I will refuse to pay another ticket and I don't have the option to not drive this vehicle at night. Contacted chrylser recall center on 9/2/14. They are trying to expedite parts to my local dealership, but there is no time frame when the parts will be received. In the meantime I will drive around with one headlight and hope the other does not fail.

My headlights burned out over a month ago. I asked the dealer to repair but they said I would have to pay out of pocket. I repaired them at my expense then received a recall notice for the wiring harness two days later. I again contacted the dealer and asked them to repair the wiring harness since it was covered under the recall. I was told that Chrysler has not made the parts and no dealership has them. My name was put on a calling list so that I could get the next available part. In the mean time, I am a single mom and I have no choice but to either get a rental car or drive at the risk of my own safety rather than miss work. I again called the dealership because it has been a month and I still have not received a call that the part was ready. I was told that the part was still not ready and there was nothing they could do. I was referred to Chrysler's "customer service" where I was told to file a complaint under the lemon law through the booklet in my owners manual packet. The booklet had no information on the lemon law for my state but listed most of the other states. I have been without my passenger side headlight for over a month now and have replaced the light 3 times, once through the dealer but they burn out within a single night.

I was driving and the headlight on the passenger side quit working. I stopped and checked it out and the light would come on if I touched the connector. Firestone replaced the bulb. The bulb was intermittent. If you touched the connector it would work. Ultimately, the connector caught fire and melted off. I found that there was a recall, but my VIN was not covered in the recall. The recall should be expanded! I am senior systems engineer for the federal aviation administration and fully qualified to assess that it is a safety issue.

The headlight goes off and on, the head light harness is melting and Dodge will not put this VIN under recall. Other Dodge Chargers have a recall but not this one. And we are a little afraid our niece's 2009 Dodge Charger caught on fire and was totaled out.
