Six problems related to headlights turn off while driving have been reported for the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving on rural road at night, shortly after turning right and disabling windsheild wipers: the headlights and entire instrumental panel completely shut off working without warning. Pulling back on the blinker lever and holding it back activated the brights and those worked. After toggling headlight switch off and back on, instrument panel and headlights reactivated. This failure mode doesn't exactly match ea11010, which claims that the instrument panel remains in operation while only the headlights fail. However I am unclear on whether my van's problem could still be at least partly caused by the headlight switch, so I will replace it at my own cost. My Chrysler dealership tells me they will only replace the switch under warranty if they can reproduce the problem, and otherwise they will charge a $150 diagnostic fee. . . More than the cost of the switch! I'm not falling for that trick! I am very disappointed with the decision to not resolve ea11010 with a recall. Headlights failing without warning at any time is a real safety issue, and it is too intermittent to diagnose on demand. Thus a recall is the only appropriate response to ensure safety. Instead, in order to proactively protect my family, I am forced to spend my own money for replacement. I thought the NHTSA was here to help?.
The headlights failed numerous times at night while driving in boca raton, florida on February 12, 2016. Service manager at massey yardley denied extended warranty to replace the faulty headlight switch. Case manager, laura denied extended warranty to replace the headlight switch.
While driving to work my headlights went out. I had to turn the headlight switch off and on a few times to get the lights back. Good thing that I was just leaving town and not on the freeway yet.
During the driving, headlights went out at 55 mph and I made several attempts to toggle the switch and headlights came on. After a long period with this issue, it gets worse, it takes me at least 2-3 minutes toggling the swtich to turn it on. It is not safe to drive with this issue. Headlight switch is recalled by Chrysler but it doesn't apply on my vehicle.
While driving the vehicle the headlights turned off. Now almost ever time going out to the vehicle when it is dark the light do not come on the first time, I have to keep turning the headlight switch on and off.
On the interstate I-75 in tennessee mountains at night, headlights went out while driving with family of 4. Quickly attempted to turn on and off the headlight switch which turned the lights back on. My teenager had complained about problems turning the headlights on previously, which I had ignored, stating that she turned the light switch on but the headlamps did not go on but that the yellow side markers did turn on. Have experienced this problem repeatedly over the last few weeks. Chrysler dealer tom ahl in lima ohio was informed of the issue but would not inspect or service the vehicle without charging an inspection fee, as no recall has been issued for this problem. I declined to pay this and asked them to enter the issue into their service database.
