| Noticed the low beam headlight on the passenger side was out, went to get a new bulb and replaced it. after a few days noticed the light went out again took it in to a dodge dealership and i was told i would need to replace all wiring because the wires were melted and it would only be a matter of time before the other headlight would go out. looked up recalls & even called the 800 number but my model is not one of the vehicles covered but its the exact problem that is happening with my car. | |||
