Passenger side headlight turns off in random, and then goes off completely. Happened in 2019 and then again in 2023, for my 2015 Dodge Charger. Repair is expensive,
I have owned my car for a little over 4 years and I just bought a two pack of lightbulbs in sept 2022 for the headlights. And I replace my bulbs every couple of months bc they go out. This cannot be normal. This is becoming expensive as a 2 pack is $50 x3 times a year. I've had them replaced at a shop where it was over $125. I've checked to make sure I'm buying the right ones. And I just find this to be crazy. As I have to go buy my 4th pack tomorrow this year.
Both headlights have went out on my Charger. First it was driver headlight I could only drive with my bright lights on. If I switch them to low beam there would be no light on the driver side. After about a week trying to get in the dealership the entire light stopped working. I replaced the bulb nothing happened. Contacted dealership again there was wait. Another week went by and my passenger headlamp stopped working completely. I now have to drive with my daytime running lights and my fog lights. Brand new bulbs in both headlights still no power and no lights. No bright lights, no low beam lights. I have searched for the answer on the web. I have seen that there was an issue with the 2010-2012 Chargers with the electrical wiring burning out and causing this issue. I'm wondering if the same issues is happening with my Charger. My brother has a 2015 Chrysler 200 and is now having the exact same issue.

My headlamps periodically shut off while driving, which results in a potentially dangerous situation. I am told that the electronic control system module regularly malfunctions on these vehicles resulting in a situation where lighting at the front of the vehicle turns off. This condition has happened not only while stationary but also while moving.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Charger. While driving over a bump in the road, both turn signals erroneously activated. Also, when the turn signals were activated and the steering wheel was turned back to the straight position, the turn signals would remain activated and failed to turn off. Furthermore, the high beam headlights no longer operated. The failures were not diagnosed or repaired. The local dealer was not notified. The manufacturer was informed of the failures. The failure mileage was unknown.
Attempted to start car and nothing happened when start was pushed. Lights and radio worked. Message on panel said press on brake and push start but still nothing happened. The lights on the gear shift began flashing red, the wipers began operation even though they were off. The key fobs would no longer work. I had to have the vehicle towed to a dealer, which stranded me 4 hours from home in 0 degree weather. The dealer could not get to it for 3 days and when they did- it started with no problem and no code errors came up. The dealership actually told me that they think it was due to the extreme cold temperatures. I guess Dodge can only be driven in a warm climate. Now it did it again last night. At least I was only 30 mins from home. I went back this morning and it started right up again but the engine light is on. This time it was 65 degrees. Something is terribly wrong with this vehicle. It seems from searching the internet that a lot of Chargers have this issue but there is no recall on my car to have it repaired.
The driver side lights doesn't stay on. The bulb and fuse was replaced. This is a known issue with Chrysler as to they settled a class action suite with Jeep in 2015. The tipm is bad on the Charger.
