I made some corrections. Try this out
  
trigger updateaccountexceptions on Account_Exceptions__c(after insert, after update){
	map<id,string> dealercontacts=new map<id,string>();
	set<id> accids=new set<id>();
	
	for(account_exceptions__c acex:trigger.new){
		accids.add(acex.account__c);
	}
	
	List<contact> cons=new List<contact>([select accountid,firstname,lastname from contact where title='Dealer Principal' and accountid=:accids]);
	
	for(Contact con:cons){
		string conname=con.firstname+' '+con.lastname;
		dealercontacts.put(con.accountid,conname);
	}
	
	list<account_exceptions__c> acexlisttoupdate =new list<account_exceptions__c>();
	
	for(account_exceptions__c acex:trigger.new){
		if(dealdercontacts.containskey(acex.account__c)){
		acex.Dealer Principal__c=dealdercontacts.get(acex.account__c);
		acexlisttoupdate.add(acex);
		}
	}
	
	update acexlisttoupdate;
}
