The exterior headlights can't see at night. Tried every type if bulb its the housing units. Now front ebr clynks over every bump and majesa thunp when hard turbubg lft or rt. Steering is out if line. Have no means of getting it repaired still paying in it. 166000 niles and owe $1500. 00. Can anyone help me? this should fall under the recalls.
Headlights work sometimes, sometimes they don't. They go from off, to on, to off as you drive the vehicle.
: the contact stated the headlight covers on the vehicle fogged over. The fog reduces night time visibility. The headlights were damaged at the time the vehicle was purchased. Therefore the contact does not know the circumstances behind the foggy glass. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who suggested contacting the NHTSA. Updated 03/20/06.
The headlight housing assemblies have the coating peeling, and the lense has a haze. This is pronounced thruout every 1999 and 2000 Intrepid I have inspected. This reduces the visibility greatly I have almost hit a pedestrian when turning a corner due to reduced output of the lights. The lenses are no longer a clear plastic, but are a white fog. The headlights are experiencing delamination.
The headlights on my 1999 Dodge Intrepid are cloudy and can ot be cleaned. It's like they have been sandblasted by the sand and rock on the roads. This is a problem with visibility at night and in the rain. In additional it has failed the va state inspection. Each headlight cost $350. 00 in total $700. 00 we have to pay to correct the problem that is due to no fault of the owner of the vehile. There should be a recall issue by Dodge to replace the headlight with glass instead of plastic again for the same problem to happen.
Night driving become difficult. Headlight lenses were clouded with condensation build up. Contacted the manufacturer, and was told by the manufacturer to go to the dealer.
The contact says that he is having problems with the visibility of headlights because if looking at the headlight they looks like they fogged up, and condensation was running down the inside of the headlights. The contact says that he is afraid to drive the vehicle at night because his visibilty is reduced. He contacted the dealer and the manufacturer, they told him this was not a manufacturer's defect , and that he would have to fix it himself. Dealer wanted $400. 00 or more to fix them. He said that since he moved to kentucky two years ago he first started noticing the problem and since then it has gotten worse.
Defective lights.
Head lights on vehicle became clouded up. Limited vision of road at night. I try not to drive at night, I do not allow my wife to drive vehicle at night.
I purchased a 1999 Dodge Intrepid in February of 1999 (new) from santa rosa Dodge in santa rosa, California. This vehicle was equipped with goodyear quantum series tires. During the scheduled 6,000-mile service and in the process of rotating all four of my tires, it was discovered that one of the tires had developed a 4" diameter bulb in it on the interior. I was advised to take it into a goodyear dealer and have it replaced as it was covered under their warranty and not daimlerchrysler's. This goodyear dealer instantly stated that the damage was caused by some sort of road hazard and was not covered by their warranty. I subsequently contacted goodyear in akron, ohio and they suggested I get a second opinion, which I did. In addition, after a very brief inspection, I was told the same thing. Apparently, there was a tear on the interior wall of the tire. I do not believe that a mild bump with a well rounded curb could not cause a tear on the outer wall of the tire let alone cause a tear on the interior wall of the tire. I believe that these tires were defective in their construction, as goodyear no longer sells these tires. ( dot number: tire size: 15 ).
The headlights were not bright enough to properly illuminate the road.
The headlights illumination became dim because of discoloration in the headlights lenses. This reduced consumer's visibility of the road. Although the cause of the lens discoloration was yet to be determined dealership indicated that this was a common problem with these vehicles.
