1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 07/22/2014

Truck would not start, would crank but not start. No warning lights (check engine) etc. Had to take it to local dealer, dealer contacted me next day informing me it was the pimon whatever that is. Cost of repairs is over 1200 dollars. Found out that the pimon is the hi tech name for the fuse box that's under the hood. I asked to see the old part and the person at the parts counter stated that they changed (3) three of them today,. . That's very sad to hear for us Dodge owners.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 03/07/2013

While driving at night it is extremely difficult to see and I have had many near miss incidents where brighter lights would have prevented such situations. When reported to Dodge they said this is a common known issue and that I should report it. The dimness of the lights is unacceptable and extremely dangerous which makes me uncomfortable when driving at night with my family or friends.
