Headlamps are not working therefore causing a safety issue when driving at night. Initially, 2 years ago, April 2021 the driver headlamp was not working. Dodge dealership had replaced and within the year the bulb would come off and on intermittently. It cost over $400. On March 18, 2022 I took it back to Dodge dealership and because it was working that day they just said to bring it when it was not working? They had the car for the whole day and did not inspect anything. Now a year later both of my headlamps are not working and took it back to them again. Now my fuses are melted and have been told by them that the cars electrical system is faulty. The car will need a new PDC Power Distribution Center unit that controls the electrical power which is no longer made. He found a dealer that has the unit available but also includes the wires harness. The charge for this including labor is 5300 if he the dealer will sell it to him. He did not advise of price for part and labor separately. The dealer charged me $212 to tell me this. Meanwhile I have a car that is only 7 years old that I cannot drive safely at night and it will not pass motor vehicle inspection which is in 2 weeks. Therefore, now I own a car I cannot legally have on the road because of this issue with the headlamps.

I have owned 3 and this is the only one to do it and I bought it new. Please check for further issues. I can't be the only one.

When returning from a trip to upper Michigan my windshield was dirty so I pressed the windshield washer button and nothing happened so I pressed it again with the same results, so we continued on. We we on a 6 lane highway with the cruise control set at 72 mph. When approaching our exit I needed to get around 2 semis so I stepped on the gas and the RPM gauge went to 5000 RPM and the speed suddenly dropped down to about 60 mph, I tried it again and it did the same thing. When I finally got safely off the highway I went directly to my dealer who told me there was nothing they could do for me for the next week. We went to our home not knowing what was going to happen next. The following day we needed to run some errands around town and the car ran perfect and has ever since. This happened on Dec. 7.2018. My concern is when will this happen again and will I be in the middle of heavy traffic again

Very decreased visibility in windshield when sun hits it. Looks like micro shatters in the windshield. Unable to get to it, like the "millions of sparkles" are inside the glass. Unable to make out anything in front of the car except big shapes (car, truck, etc). This happens whenever the sun is in front of you, morning and evening commute is when it happens to me every day. The car can be in motion or sitting still, wherever you are.
