general problems of the 2007 Chrysler Town & Country

The problem appears to be the power module. My van is psychotic. Problem usually occurs when headlights are on, although sometimes ac will also do it. Headlights and/or wipers will randomly turn off (or on, though the off is what is scary and dangerous. ) entire electrical system is unreliable. Sometimes engine just shuts off, dash lights randomly blink, tpms light illuminates randomly when pressure is good. Battery stops charging, although alternator and battery test good. I have had both wipers and headlights fail while driving at night in the rain. I will put a date of two years ago, and the problem still persists. Chrysler no longer sells this part. Vehicle has a lifetime power train warranty, but is a death trap to drive.

Overhead dome map light stopped working smelled like burning it was safety issue because when I popped of the clear plastic cover I don't know why the van hadn't caught on fire yet. Half the base of the bulb was black, the plastic part of the socket was scorched ,warped , melted and smelled burn and damaged console sockets. Clearly this was defective parts that should be the reason Chrysler changed the design and part but never notify consumers and issue recall . This is series safety issue fire and electrical damaged may cause serious injuries. I was told that dealer is not responsible and not interested helping and I need to pay $400 to change entire socket for two small light bulbs . When I call Chrysler corporate again I was told they can not help because I have old vehicle . This is clearly defective design and part unfortunately Chrysler would not take ownership and accountability to notify and repair this issue . Please see attached picture when I went to dealer for replacement bulbs for about $6 each I was told I need to replace entire console because they no longer have this defective bulbs when I popped of the clear plastic cover I wondered why the van hadn't caught on fire yet. Half the base of the bulb was black, the plastic part of the socket was scorched and warped damages console sockets.

Inside of the dome drivers and passengers dome lights melted (apparently from heat of bulbs) and shorted bulbs. Loss of light is inconvenience/hazard. . . . But it appears to be hot enough to cause fire or other electrical problem(s). This problem seems to have been reported multiple times by other owners.

The driver's side map light is out. Went to replace the bulb and found that the bulb, socket and area the socket goes into was melted. Dealer says it is a common occurrence. $300 to replace. Read on line several other owners with the same experience but I do not see a recall.
