The vehicle was take to dodge under warranty for repair multiple times and according to dodge the starter was replaced and the vehicle would start. After obtaining the vehicle from the dodge repair shop the left head light began to go on and off intermittently. The vehicle was again taking to the dodge service shop for repair under warranty. Dodge indicated that it was a faulty tipm and that it was replaced and that the left headlight should work appropriately. After obtaining the truck once again the check engine light came on and returned to the dodge shop where they indicated that it was the transmission sensor which was replaced. Several months later the driver's headlight began to go on and off intermittently while driving and sitting still. The dodge was returned to the dodge repair shop who stated that the previous repair was done under warranty and since the vehicle is no longer under warranty they would not cover any repairs even thought they have a 24 month part policy for repairs paid for by the customer.
