Five problems related to headlights have been reported for the 2014 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My brand new vehicle had a front left headlight that was out. Stopped by police, went to dealer next day, they said they see this across model line. Brand new car . Was concerned how dark road was driving at night. . Never thought on a brand new car this would occur !.
2014 Dodge Ram 1500. Consumer writes in regards to navigation system problems. The consumer stated the screen would freeze and turn black. Also, the system would display a different location, other than where the consumer was. The consumer also stated, the headlights shut off while his wife was driving, one night. She was able to pull over and turn the lights back on.
The lighting system (headlights) on my 2014 ram truck are dangerous to use at night. They are very dim and produce sub-standard lighting for safe driving. I am forced to use high beams during night driving. This is notably not safe for oncoming drivers, but it is the only option I have. After a quick internet search, this is a known problem with many Chrysler, ram and Jeep products.
Driving the vehicle at night with both headlights and fog (driving) lights on does not provide enough illumination for safe travel. My wife and I both noticed several times that you cannot see at night when there is any wet pavement surrounding this vehicle. On the highway at 55 mph you cannot see your lights on the pavement (scary!). In addition, I drove the vehicle multiple times at night and found it extremely difficult to navigate with the stock lighting supplied by Dodge with this vehicle. I replaced the stock system with an aftermarket hid system to correct the defect at considerable personal expense. I would have expected Dodge to supply a vehicle of this type with proper lighting technology. Please see prior model years complaints. Dodge refuses to correct this defect even though multiple safety complaints been made regarding it. Also check Dodge truck forums and you will see there are multiple complaints regarding stock lighting systems on ram vehicles.
The headlights are unsafe. They are so dim you cant see anything in front of you at night. The brights were on for 15 miles and not one car flashed there brights at me. Looking at the internet they are 1000s complants of Dodge ram headlights. The dealer where you bought it at just tell you to change the bulbs and that does nothing. This is a safety issue that needs taken care of right away.
