Headlights Problems of Chrysler Pacifica - part 2

Headlight bulbs keep burning out. At least 6 times since 2007. The first time both lamps were replaced even though only one had gone out, the rest of the times they were replace individually and every time sylvania bulbs were used. I feel this constitutes a safety problem and not normal maintenance. Also the drivers door lock mechanism broke in Dec. 2009 where the door would not latch close and had to be tied shut the take it for repair. I feel this is also a serious safety failure.

I currently have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica touring fwd that was purchased on June 28,2008. Since the time of purchase I have had to replace my driver's side headlight bulb 3 times. I have placed a call to the dealer I purchased the car from and also Chrysler's customer service. They tell me that my VIN number does not appear on any recalls that they have. I however, do not understand and have never had a vehicle that has needed a headlight replaced those many times in one year.

Headlights and dash lights alternate erratically from bright to dim at lower engine speeds. Sometimes almost off then very bright. Have had it several times to dealer and only replaced headlight switch after I was informed was normal operation on the first two visits. Very annoying at stop lights at night. Some times think will go out all together.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. While driving 70 mph at sunset, the contact activated the headlights. The passenger side headlight began to blink and then failed a week later. The following week, the driver side headlight began blinking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the vehicle was excluded from recall number 05v066000 (exterior lighting:headlights). The vehicle has not been repaired. The current mileage was 46,000 and failure mileage was 45,300.

Headlamp failure, causing replacement several times since purchase in 7/05. Sluggish driving/acceleration, accelerator sticking.

Several problems with replacing headlights annually about three months apart since ownership 10/06, problem with engine light repeatedly coming on - was advised by certified mechanic it's the fuel tank, very expensive to replace or fix.

Low beam head light burns out at 34k miles. Replaced h7 (oem) lamp myself because dealer claims it is a maintenance item and not covered under warranty. Upon installing new lamp the other low beam lamp expired. I believe there is a defect and checked my car stats to verify any reports. I see I am not alone.

: the contact stated a recall letter was received for the headlights, #05v066000, and the vehicle was taken to the dealership. The vehicle was at the dealership for two days, but the parts were not available therefore the vehicle was taken back by the owner. Seven months later, a second dealership was contacted to perform the recall repair. Upon inspection; the dealership determined the recall work had not been done. When contacting the manufacturer it was stated the previous dealership reported the work had been done and a second repair would not be authorized. The vehicle does not have the problem associated with the recall.

Headlights stopped working on 2004 Chrysler Pacifica , and the 2005 Pacifica was recalled for the same problem. But, the dealer said this vehicle was not covered under the recall because a different part was replaced. Also, model year was not part of the recall. The headlights would not work. Luckily, I was at home when the problem occurred. It appeared that this problem was related to the one mentioned in the recall and I should not have to pay for the repairs.

Headlamp failure. This car is 1 1/2 years old to us and has just under 30k miles. The vehicle has a recall on the 2005 model but not the 2004. They are calling it a maintenance item on my car.

The left headlight would come on and off on its own. This causes poor visibility while driving at night. Driver took vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the connector needed to be replaced.

Upon purchase of my new Chrysler Pacifica I became aware that the field of illumination with the low beam headlamps was quite reduced from any vehicle I've had before. This is of particular concern in rural driving where there are no street lights. Dealer has adjusted them (to no avail).

Upon purchase of my new Chrysler Pacifica in sept. 03, I became aware that the field of illumination with the low beam headlamps was quite reduced from any vehicle I've had before. This is of particular concern in rural driving where there are no street lights. Dealer has adjusted them (to no avail) and manufacturer has been notified through a new purchase survey (no response).
