Description of the problem	The driver's side headlight would go off and on in intervals and then finally went out completely. I purchased a stock bulb from a dodge dealership and had the bulb installed by a different dodge dealership. After having the bulb changed at field's chrysler dodge jeep, they pulled my truck around for me to pick up and i noticed that it still wasn't working, so they took it back into the shop and worked on it some more and finally got the headlight working. Within a few days after the bulb replacement, the light stopped working again. I took the truck back to the dealership and they told me there was a part that they had to order, but used a security tie for this part to keep continuity until the new part arrived. When the part arrived, i took my truck back to the dealership to have the part replaced. I rented a vehicle for the day and picked up my truck the following day. About 5 days after this repair, the headlight went out again. Now, i have to take the truck back to the dealership yet again and spend more money, time, missed work due to their defective part and design. I have had so many other problems with this truck that it is mind boggling. I was just pulled over by the police last night for the light being out. I constantly worry about getting pulled over when driving at night and this has been extremely aggravating and stressful. This has limited my driving at night significantly. I have performed an internet search for this issue with this truck and apparently this is a common safety defect. Thus far, i have incurred at least $400. 00 in expenses but does not account for my time and missed work. Please help.
