2011 Ram 1500 Lights Problems

TIPM CAUSES BOTH HI AND LOW BEAMS ON PASSENGER SIDE TO GO OUT. BULBS ARE FINE. WHEN TRUCK IS STARTED OR EVEN REMOTE LOCK/UNLOCK ONLY DRIVERS LIGHTS FLASH AT FIRST LIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES ON THE ROAD, NOW THEY STAY OFF AND HAVEN'T CAME BACK FOR SEVERAL WEEKS

HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION POOR ON LOW & HIGH BEAMS.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED LAST NOVEMBER. THE FACTORY WINDSHIELD IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THROUGH AT NIGHT, AND IF WE'RE DRIVING IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT, WHAT LITTLE VISIBILITY THERE IS. IS LIMITED TO LESS THAN 50 FEET. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN COOS BAY, OREGON SAYS THAT IT'S A FACTORY-INSTALLED WINDSHIELD AND DECLINES TO TAKE ANY FURTHER RESPONSIBILITY. THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT REQUIRES OUR USING THE HIGH BEAMS (WHEN SAFE FOR ONCOMING DRIVERS -- NOT A GOOD MIX.) THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN COOS BAY, OREGON INVESTIGATED THE HEADLIGHTS WITH A VISUAL CHECK, AND SAID THEY'RE "OKAY."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW AND HIGH BEAM HEADLAMPS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000. UPDATED 04/21/2016*LJ THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO THEN CONTACTED THE DEALER. THEY STATED THE PROBLEM WAS POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND ONLY THEY COULD REPLACE IT. UPDATED 09/07/16.*JB

HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. EVEN ON BRIGHT LIGHTS, THEY ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. IN SPEAKING WITH OTHER DODGE RAM OWNERS, THEY, TOO HAVE SEEN A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT FROM THE REDISIGNED HEADLIGHTS. CANNOT HARDLY SEE 20 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT WITNESSED THE VEHICLE'S HEADLINER BECOMING DAMP WITH WATER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS WATER ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE HEAD REST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION THAT THEY WERE WARE OF A THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE THAT ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WAS LEAKING AND CAUSED MOLD AND MILDEW INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,500.

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. *TR

CONSUMER STATES WHEN HIGH BEAMS ARE TURNED ON LOW BEAMS DO NOT WORK *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER HAD HIM SHINE THE LIGHTS ONTO AN OPEN WALL, AND ONLY THE HIGH BEAMS HIT THE WALL WHEN THEY WERE TURNED ON. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING AS DESIGNED AND NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GRANTED. *JB
