| EXTERIOR LIGHTING - HEADLIGHTS | |||

| I have a 1998 plymouth neon. i am angry with the way these cars were built from chrysler. it is unacceptable that my headlights continue to get foggier and foggier. i take normal care of my car to include keeping it clean and mechanically sound. i have a real safety issue with these lights becoming so cloudy. it is almost as though i have dim lights due to this clouding of the headlight lenses. i insist that a recall should be instated in order to fix this problem for each and every neon from 1998 for sure. this is a problem when driving and either the fog lights have to be on or your brights just to make sure you don't hit anything or anyone. why should we have to replace something with our own money when it was a quite obvious problem on chrysler's end? please let me know what i should do. *nm | |||
