2011 Dodge Charger Lights Problems

Your headlights are turning off unexpectedly while you're driving at night, affecting one or both lights. This creates a serious safety hazard since you lose visibility on the road. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the electrical circuit, replacing the headlight switch, or repairing wiring connections.

Your headlights aren't providing enough light when you're driving. An independent mechanic replaced both the headlamp bulbs and ballasts, but the problem came back. The issue started happening around 70,000 miles.

Your headlights randomly shut off as your car warms up, even though they work fine when you first turn them on. This appears to be related to a known recall issue, but your vehicle isn't on the recall list. Loss of headlights while driving reduces visibility and increases accident risk. The fix will likely involve inspecting or replacing the headlight assembly and wiring connections.

Your driver-side headlight failed while driving and was replaced by a mechanic, but the same headlight failed again shortly after. The mechanic didn't diagnose why the headlight kept failing, so the underlying cause remains unknown. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the electrical circuit, wiring harness, or headlight assembly to prevent future failures.

My vehicle has the symptoms listed in NHSTA 12V-042. The dealership would not complete the recall due to my VIN number not being included or my manufacture date not matching the dates. They directed me to email the NHSTA to get this resolved

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAS GONE OUT 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS. WHEN CHANGED/FIXED, EACH HEADLIGHT BULB IS BURNT AND 2 OUT OF THE 4 HAVE BUSTED INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. IT IS THE CORRECT BULB/VOLTAGE AND CERTIFIED OREM REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHT BULBS FOR THE LOW BEAM. EACH BULB LAST ONLY 4-6 WEEKS. NO SIGNS OF MOISTURE IN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY OR FAULTY INSTALLATION.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM WILL COME ON THEN GO OFF. AFTER AWHILE IT COMES BACK ON FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN GOES OUT AGAIN. THE VEHICLE CAN BE SITTING RUNNING OR GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND WILL DO THE SAME THING.

ONE OR BOTH LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS CUT OFF WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS RELEASED A SAFETY RECALL THAT APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER, IT IS NOT REGISTERED TO MY VIN AT THE MOMENT. THE RECALL NUMBER IS P08 / NHTSA 14V-101. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON SMOOTH OR ROUGH ROADS, HIGHWAYS, CITY STREETS OR EVEN PARKED WITH LOW BEAMS ON EVERY TIME ONE LIGHT WILL START TO FLICKER AND GO OUT COMPLETELY AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL LIGHT SWITCH IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. FIRST WAS DRIVER SIDE FOR A WEEK OR TWO, BUT NOW STAYS ON. BUT AS SOON AS THE DRIVER QUIT FLICKERING NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES IT ALL THE TIME NOT A DAY FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS HAS IT NOT TURNED OFF. DOESN'T MATTER IF LIGHTS ON AUTO OR MANUALLY TURNED ON THIS HAPPENS. THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO HAPPENS RANGES FROM FEW SECONDS TO 20 MIN. DEALER ACTS AS IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM AND CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM SO CAN'T GET FIXED. THIS GOES FOR ME AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WITH SAME ISSUE WE NOW CAN'T DRIVE VEHICLE AT NIGHT OR TAKE A RISK THAT COULD EITHER GET US A TICKET FOR NO HEADLIGHT OR COULD BE IN A DRIVING SITUATION BEING PITCH BLACK OUT NO CITY LIGHTS TO HELP SEE MAKING A TURN AND LIGHTS GO OUT. THAT IS A FOR SURE WRECK OR EVEN DEATH. I DO KNOW OF A RECALL FOR THIS POLICE CHARGER JUST MINE ISN'T THE RIGHT TYPE SO WHY NOT MAKE IT FOR ALL TYPES. A PROBLEM IS A PROBLEM NO MATTER WHAT, BUT I GUESS OUR SAFETY ISN'T AS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF IT WAS THEN THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. AFTER TURNING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON, THE HEADLIGHTS OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. ADDITIONALLY, THE FOG LIGHTS ALSO FAILED TO OPERATE. WYSUP DODGE JEEP (115 S. GRAND AVE, PULLMAN, WA) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE BOTH NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE P08 RECALL. MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. COMPLETELY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE THIS WAY. FACTORY SAYS MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT YOU CLEARLY MISSED DIAGNOSED WHAT VEHICLES WERE EFFECTED AS MINE IS. PLEASE HELP!

WHEN I START THE VEHICLE, THE LOW BEAMS WORK NORMALLY. WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF LIGHTS BEING ON, WHETHER IDLE OR DURING DRIVING, THEY WILL TURN OFF ON THERE OWN. I AM THEN FORCED TO USE HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO HAVE LIGHTING AT NIGHT.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY VEHICLE EITHER ONE OR BOTH HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT. I AM ABLE TO FLIP THEM OFF AND THEY WILL TURN BACK ON BUT CONTINUE TO GO OUT AS I AM DRIVING. THIS OCCURS DURING ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, HIGHWAY, CITY, STATIONARY, MOVING, ACCELERATING, BREAKING.

2011 DODGE CHARGER R/T 5.7L HEMI WITH AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS. HEADLIGHT(LOW BEAM) INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT AND SOMETIMES WHEN SWITCHING FROM HIGH TO LOW BEAM THE LOW BEAN DOESN'T FUNCTION AND ONE MUST TURN OFF THE LIGHTS MANUALLY AND RE-ENGAGE THEM TO WORK.

MY LOW BEAM ON THE THE CAR HAD GONE OUT AND WILL DO SO AFTER HAVING THE CAR ON FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN THE LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON IF I TURN THEM OFF AND IT WILL TURN OFF AGAIN. SOME TIMES THE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON FOR HOURS AND OTHER TIMES THEY TURN OFF WITHIN A COUPLE MINUTES AND USUALLY ONE LIGHT GOES FIRST AND THE OTHER SHORTLY AFTER

MY 2011 DODGE CHARGER HAD THE PO8 RECALL DONE IN JULY OF 2014 AT ABOUT 48000 MILES NOW AT 94000 MILES THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. I WAS TOLD THE FIX WILL BE $440.+ TAX AS THE PROBLEM IS A VOLTAGE DROP IN THE HARNESS THAT WAS INSTALLED AND NOT THE ORIGINAL MELTED WIRING THAT CAUSED THE PO8 RECALL. I THOUGHT FAULTY WIRING CAUSING LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2011 DODGE CHARGER R/T AWD MAX AND ABOUT A YEAR AGO SOME OF THE "RACETRACK" TAILLIGHT LED'S STARTED GOING OUT ON THE BOTTOM ON EACH SIDE. NOW THIS WINTER I WENT OUT TO STORAGE TO START IT UP AND I NOTICED THAT I NOW HAVE EVEN MORE LED'S THAT ARE OUT. NOT ONLY DO I VIEW THIS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THESE LED'S ESSENTIALLY ACT AS THE CARS REAR RUNNING LIGHTS, BUT IT IS ONE OF THE KEY FEATURES OF THIS CAR AND IT LOOKS REALLY CRUMMY WHEN THEY GO OUT. AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD MANY PEOPLE THAT OWN 2011-2014 DODGE CHARGERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. I THINK DODGE SHOULD STEP IN AND REPLACE THE CENTER SECTION OF THE TAIL LIGHTS.

SHE HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR, LUCKILY THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT BAD THAT SHE MANGE TO WALK A CROSS THE HIGHWAY AND CALL HER FATHER. HE WENT TO GET HER AND PUSHED THE CAR TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID OUR ALTERNATOR WAS COMPLETELY BURNED AND HE SAID HE NEVER SEEN ONE THAT BAD. WE CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY TOLD US THEY WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS, BUT ON THE DODGE FORUM ONLINE HUNDREDS OF DODGE CHARGER OWNERS WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WE BEEN CONTACTING DODGE FOR 3 MONTHS NOW WHILE SPENDING MONEY ON RENTAL AND THEY FINALLY TOLD US ITS BEEN RECALLED, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A PREMINENT FIX FOR IT ALL THEY CAN DO IS A TEMPORARY FIX AND IT CAN BURN OUT AGAIN. *TR

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.

I KNOW THAT CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED 2011 AND 2012 CHARGER POLICE VEHICLES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, WHICH CLEARLY INDICATES THERE'S A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. SO, I BELIEVE ALL DODGE CHARGERS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING AND POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS HAS MELTED CAUSING THE LIGHT TO NOT WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. I NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL BUT ONLY ON THE POLICE CARS. WHY ONLY POLICE CARS? THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PAID FOR THESE VEHICLES WITH THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY DESERVE THE SAME TREATMENT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO ALL CHARGERS IN THAT YEAR NOT JUST POLICE CARS. DODGE NEEDS TO CONSIDER ALL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS IN THIS ISSUE. *TR

DRIVING AT DUSK. NOTICED PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. CHECKED IT THE NEXT DAY AND FOUND WIRING JUMPER HAD GOTTEN HOT AND BEGAN TO MELT. SAME EXACT PROBLEM I HAD WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT 4 MONTHS PRIOR. HAD TO HAVE WIRING HARNESS REPLACED.

BAD DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HARNESS. BULB NEEDS TO BE REPLACED EVERY FEW WEEKS BECAUSE OF IT. THIS MODEL SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR FIX. I HAVE OVER 36000 MILES NOW AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE REPLACED THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT BULB 6 TIMES IN THE YEAR I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT THE BULBS, NOR IS IT A FUSE. FACTORY WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT ON THE CAR.

THIS LAST TIME I REPLACED IT, IT WORKED BUT WAS OUT BYT HE TIME I GOT HOME FROM THE AUTO PARTS STORE. I DID NOTICE IT COMING ON AND GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY. HOWEVER 95% OF THE TIME THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. *TR
