Complaint Summary
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Owner Narrative
I PURCHASED THIS 1997 DODGE 2500 DIESEL PICKUP BRAND NEW FROM THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN OREGON. THE WORST VEHICLE THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED REGARDING BEING ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT WITH THEIR HEADLIGHT DESIGN. I HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS TRYING TO SEE THE ROAD AS IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE EVEN THE ROAD DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE PICKUP WITH THIS STYLE OF HEADLAMPS THAT DODGE ENGINEERED FOR THIS YEAR PICKUP NIGHT DRIVING. AT NIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS TO SEE IF THEY CAN HELP. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REMEDY THIS TO THIS DAY. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. HELP! *TR
