I bought my truck two weeks ago and drove it to work, about 500miles. By time i got here the lower portion of my quad headlights was fogged up. Plan on going to a dealership for it to be taken care of but still how disappointing on a new truck?

Tried searching to see if this is a common problem and is there anything else i need to be watching out for to address at the dealer?

I'll be waiting to her what the stealership tells you.
My advice would be 3 words; Black RTV sealant.

I've dealt with them and fixed them before. Taken a few apart for paint and etc. But I'm highly doubting I'm gonna be willing to fix these myself when the truck is under 1000 miles. I've already been on the phone with chrysler about the dealership i bought it at. I don't handle mistreatment well.. haha

The headlights changed in mid model year 2012, they went to a different vent style on them (weird, with the new designed lights coming out). I haven't heard that much about fogging on them, but I'd definitely let the dealer replace it.

My lights fogged when I was washing it one time. Hasn't done it since though.

I work at a dealership and have seen some with the same issue, there was a TSB out for the grand cherokee having this problem but they said if it continues after the first time then its a problem. But one time issues is normal...

Thanks man. I've only driven it in the rain that one time. I'm just gonna note the date and conditions that caused it. If it happens again I'll take pictures to document.

One good thing about my travel for work is I'm sure I'll get to experience quite a few dodge dealerships.
