Four problems related to headlights have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When driving at night the headlights are not bright enough, the plastic has been cleaned, the light bulbs have been replaced and we still can not see the road at night. We have hit deer twice, and wife hit a light pole in a parking lot because it was not working and the lights on the truck didn't light it up so my wife could not see where she was turning, I am trying to see if anyone else has had the same problems with headlights.
Dash cracked and fell apart causing headlight wire to melt and headlights to go out while driving down interstate at 70 mph.
Several cracks all along dash board from window seal to front of airbag/vent sections, when I showed the dealer who I bought it from, they brushed me off like I was complaining of cosmetic damage. I consider these cracks a manufacturer defect that hold vital components if I or my passengers were ever in a wreck, my vehicle interior was in excellent condition when I bought it from the used lot in October 2001, I can't say the same for the mechanics. The first day I had to return it for the harmonic balancer, then the emerg brake light stayed on, then the abs brake light which lead to replacement of drums,rotors, and calipers. In Feb 2003 I had to take it in for windshield wiper motor burn out, and this last month the waterpump went out. Can you advise me as to what is normal wear and tear and what parts aren't supposed to have to be replaced on a vehicle that now has 82,000 miles and regular upkeep? and if the sound of air blowing thru loose metal is what my truck should sound like when I accelerate from a normal stop? thank you for your time,amber.
The truck I just purchased when you are driving at night all of a sudden the headlights just go out. All you are left with are parking lights.
