Dodge headlight problems

Owners have filed 4,808 complaints with NHTSA about the lighting on Dodge vehicles — 3% of everything reported about the brand, across 62 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Dodge Durango, worst in 2014.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
