DODGE Complaints

MY HEADLIGHTS WAS NOT WORKING SO I BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT BULB. THE LOW BEAM WAS OUT THE HIGH BEAM WORKS. THE BULB REPLACEMENT DID NOT WORK. I TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND HE LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS MY FUSE BOX. THE ENTIRE THING NEEDED REPLACED. BEING IN THE BUSINESS HE SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THE COST TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE THING IS COSTLY SINCE THE IS BASICALLY THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR... THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUSE BOX. THIS FUSE BOX CONTROLS A LOT OF THINGS THAT COULD BE SAFETY ISSUES AND LIGHTING TO ME IS VERY IMPORTANT. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A FUSE BOX. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE WAS NONE. I BEGAN LOOKING ONLINE AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS ASTOUNDING BUT I GUESS UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT CHRYSLER WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

MY CAR LOST ALL POWER!! WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT. WOULD NOT EVEN LOCK. NO LIGHTS, NO POWER AT ALL. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE MY COMMUTE HOME ABOUT 20 MILES AT NIGHT .
