I flagged this as a "pain in the ass" because I had to replace the tail lights about 4-5 times before Dodge repaired the part. At the time, I was servicing at the dealer I bought from - it was inconvenient and they would not loan a car so each repair came with a rental, or a borrow, or a cab to get around which they scratched their heads and asked why the little light bulbs kept failing. In the end it was a bad circuit design from Dodge, they replaced it and from 25000-85000 miles it has been fine. But not before I spent around $500 in alternate transportation due to bad dodge design.
