The drivers side low beam headlight went out while driving. Thinking it was the bulb, I took the car apart to replace it and the connector was melted. I found that there was a recall regarding the wiring and power distribution and called the dealer and scheduled an appt for repair. A few days later, the other headlight went out, at night, while driving home from work. This is a very dangerous safety issue for me as well as other drivers. The dealer replaced the recalled parts but the low beam harness bulb connector is not included in the recall. I currently only have one working headlight again and I have no choice but to pay for repairs myself at this point because I can't risk both lights going out again. Something needs to be done.

Vehicle driver side head light went out 2 weeks ago. Smelled like burnt plastic. Replaced the bulb with oem spec bulb. Same bulb went out, noticed part of the connector is melted. Have had the car for only a year. Called Chrysler, they stated that my VIN was not part of the recall. Chrysler stated it was my responsibility to fix. 10,000 police edition Chargers were recalled for the same problem. Halloween night almost hit 2 pedestrians turning left, because I couldn't see them.

In a matter of two and a half weeks, I've had a major issue with my vehicle. The wire harness connector for my headlights in my 2012 Dodge Charger were burnt out, causing my headlights to go out. This has happened twice. There has been a previous recall on 2011-2012 Dodge Chargers for this issue but upon contacting Chrysler, they said they were unable to help me due to my VIN number not being directly effected even though it is the same issue. As a first responder it is vital that I can see the road ahead of me, and people can see me alike. How many more times is this going to have to happen before some action is going to take place? I've talked to several other people who have 2012 Dodge Chargers and they've had the same issue. This clearly isn't just with my car, it is with the make, model and year.

2012 Dodge Charger low beam headlight on the driver side continues to go out. I have a melted/fried harness and exposed wiring. Has been going out for several months. I have to replace bulbs continuously both oem and after market bulbs. There are other owners experiencing the same issue, especially on the driver side. There is a recall for the police version, but none for the SE models, however, the issues seem to be the same. I have filed a complaint with Chrysler. Visiting the dealer tomorrow to attempt remedy.
