The headlightseere made out of plastic and the outer shell was yellow. Had a hard time seeing when raining. Noticed many Dodge vehicles withthe same problem.

Acrylic headlight covers have become yellowed and cloudy, resulting in diminished brightness of headlights at night and in dark weather conditions.

Rain storm driving at night poor headlighting almost caused me to run off the road, lighting has always been a problem, no recall to fix the problem either.

These headlight are pathetic for a 1997 vehicle! they are not bright enough, especially on high beam. Not safe to drive at night in rural areas. My old 1984 firebird headlights are much better!!! also, the lenses are clouded, not clear but wasn't much better before they were clouded. Dodge should remedy this somehow.

Sun roof- problem existed at time of sale, dealer aware that parts were defective and no replacements available. Still not fixed as of 5/24/1999. Car drifted to the left on flat roads and crowned highways-right lane. Drift was severe. Full lane change within 300 ft or less. Dealer response- all components set to manufacturer's specs. Nothing he can do. Last trip in March 1999 dealer noticed wear on tires and rotated them. Also ordered power steering pump and a steering idler arm. Car does not drift anymore. Front end has had a vibration from day 1. dealer can't seem to notice it of find out the cause. Changed tires, rotated tires, checked on brake discs, etc. Still no full solution. Vibration is less the first noticed but still present at 5/24/99. Some was corrected 12/08/1997, more remains. Lights do not seem to be bright enough or the throw pattern is wrong. Leaves blind, bark areas in front of car especially the high beams. Dealer response: Lights are set according to specs. They seem to throw lights more upward-short range and to the sides. Oncoming traffic complaints.

Headlights do not operate properly on bright beam. When put on dim beam consumer can see a little better. Dealer contacted and repairwork has been done. Problem still exists. Dealer states nothing else can be done to remedy the problem.

When driving at night consumer having is a hard time with seeing the road (poor visibility) due to the headlights being too low and will not stay illuminated. Consumer contacted the dealer and the dealer adjusted the height on 2 separate occasions, but it did not solve problem. Consumer claims headlights need to be replaced.
