Low beam headlights flicker when vehicle is running and after a few minutes go out. This makes it very difficult to drive at night as the headlights will go completely out. Tested with vehicle stationary and in motion on a state maintained lettered roadway.

All of the dash lights, abs, break, interior lights, headlights have been flickering for a solid 3 days. I was driving at night on a non-lit stretch of road when all my lights went out, inside and out with a car approaching from the other direction. I tried to use my high beams and they were out too. I had my children and had to pull over. I have read reviews and this seems to be a huge problem with these cars yet no recall? why? this is so dangerous! this is my main vehicle I drive for work and with my family. I know am scared to drive it and what people have stated its hard and expensive to fix!.

As I was driving all of a sudden the dashboard and headlights started flickering and the warning icons dinged on. This has continued to occur and the mechanic can not determine the cause of the problem.
The headlights intermittantly would not work and then stopped working completely. I believe this is due to the wiring harness issue that was recall on many other 05 Pacificas under 05v066000. My VIN does not pull up that it was affected in this recall, but I have this and another issue that I submitted a complaint for that should be covered under the recall. The chrsler company said even though it appears to be the same issue in the recall, since my VIN does not show to be appart of that recall, they will not do anything to help fix the costly issue. I do not know where else to go for help. I submitted a complaint through chrsler and they said they would not help unless there was a recall expansion that eventually included my VIN, but not to count on it. I told Chrysler that just because this VIN was missed in the investigation that it was the right thing to do for them to fix it. . I was told they could not and would not help. Thank you. .
We were driving. I asked my husband to clean the windshield. As soon as he pulled the wiper stem, the headlights went out. The car restarted, but the headlights wouldn't come back on. We pulled over again and opened the hood. The car would restart, but now the dash cluster was out along with the headlights. We turned the engine off and weirdly, the headlights came on. They were flashing on and off, over and over. Within the next ten minutes the car would start but wouldn't shift out of park. From there the armrest controls stopped functioning, and eventually the car just chattered when the key was turned. Then it wouldn't even do that. It completely died. Four weeks and $1600 later, we have a new tipm l. The entire electrical system was fried.
The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph, the low beam headlights were activated and then failed to illuminate.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica. Consumer writes in regards to engine and headlight problems. The consumer stated the vehicle stalled twice, within the last 3 years. Both times, he was making a hard turn, when the engine stopped. He wa able to maintain control of the vehicle and re-started it, without any problem. The vehicle was inspected by a mechanic, who found nothing wrong, other than throttle body build-up, which he cleaned. Also, the headlight would intermittently go out. The bulb did not seem to fit securely in the harness, which caused a short and eventually the bulb blew out. The problem seemed to be more prominent on the passenger side. The driver's side bulb was less than an ideal fit, but there were no problems with it going out. The bulb was replaced numerous times, along with the wiring harness.

Vehicles low beam headlights have gone out multiple times while driving. After replacing them multiple time they have now quit working completely. Previous model years have had the same issue and have had a recall. I think that this is a serious safety issue and should be addressed, regardless of age or mileage. This is obviously a manufacturing defect.
The computer that controls everything including the headlights failed causing all my headlights to go out and blow during night time driving, resulting in a crash. !!!!! this is just as bad as a cars brakes totally failing and should be a recall on these ecu/ecm computers on Chryslers immediately as the dealer wants to charge $1000 to fix!!! I see hundreds of people reporting the same problem and there are law suits also from this failure!.

I noticed that low beam headlight on drivers side was out so I replaced bulb still did not work . Then I noticed there was a recall on same headlamp for wiring issue . I punched in my VIN # however it says not on my vehicle . Why do some Pacificas from same recall year are not covered and some are ? thanks for taking time to read this email.
Sporadically the abs & brake warning lights come on the dashboard lights come on and the radio cuts out. The main issue is that when all of this happens the headlights also flicker and go out. When driving at night the headlights are very distracting to myself as well as other vehicles on the road. Once I was driving at night and my headlights completely went out for a few seconds. The dealer can¿t figure out what is causing the issue and there is no specific reason that causes it to happen.

The headlights (low beam only) just stopped working. No warning at all. Checked bulbs and they are fine. I am not getting power to the low beam lights. The high beams work fine along with the signals, horn, flashers, etc. . I know Chrysler has a recall on the 2005 models, and can't understand why the 2006 are not included!! it's the same problem.
While driving on busy road in the rain on 3 different occasions my headlights went out for no apparent reason. . . I did not realize that they had gone out until I was pulled over by a state trooper and given a ticket. . . Also when my tank reaches 1/2 full the needle will drop to empty and the gas light will come on warning me that I have run out of gas even though I have 1/2 tank of gas in there, almost caused a pile up on the highway. . . Low tire pressure light stays on even when I put air in all 4 tires.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica. Consumer states problems with vehicle headlamps.
Drivers side headlamp worked intermittantly and then lost power. There is no power leading to the low beam headlamp assy. 2005 models had a recall for this exact problem, but Chrysler tells me that my 2006 shows no recalls per my VIN. This is very dangerous that my headlights can fail while driving and cause a crash. Also replacing bulbs will not help this situation because the problem is in the integrated power module (fuse box). So you cannot even drive your car home if this problem happens to you on the road. Very dangerous and a horrible design by Chrysler.

My 2005 Chrysler Pacifica has a defective headlight harness but is not covered under the recall because of the VIN #. I contacted Chrysler but they said OH well, take to dealership and pay for the repairs. I only get 7volts of power to the left headlight and the right I have 10. 5volts- barely enough to light the right headlight. Even though my VIN # is not on the list to be recalled, it appears Chrysler did not fix this problem in the later VIN # Pacifica's. Chrysler needs to fess up that this is an engineering snapfu that is dangerous to us since the headlight will only fail, and that is at night when safety is a big issue.
