Headlights keep going out. I've had both low beam headlights replaced twice in less than 3 months. High beams, signal, parking lights all work as they should. I took it to a shop and they said the hid headlight ballast needed replaced. No power going to low beams. Had it replaced and lights worked fine for about 2 months. Now I'm having the same problem again. I just bought the van in July. I've searched the problem and this seems to be a recurring issue with this model.

Failure Date: 01/30/2019

On January 30th, 2019 I was driving on the highway going 70 mph at 630pm when my headlights turned off. I pulled into a parking lot and turned the headlight knob from auto to manual and manual worked but auto did not. I let the car sit while I was at my son's doctor's appointment. When we came out and I started the car, the headlights in auto position worked while driving back home until I was about 10 minutes away from my house and in the city. The next day while driving to work at 715 am, the auto lights turned off again then back on then back off again. When heading to the store that evening, they cut off again. The dash light to show lights were on turned off as well. This is very dangerous and a safety hazard for all vehicals on the road.

Including: the speedometer's needle started spinning 360 degrees over and over. Forwards and backwards. The fuel gauge went to e. The temp. Gauge went to coolest indication. It continued extreme malfunction all the way to my destination. When I stopped, turned off the vehicle, then restarted, the gauges ( except speedometer) returned to normal function. I performed Mini diagnostic utilizing the (reset) mileage tab. It failed to fix the problem. Have no way of knowing my speed going on 6 months now. Very nerve racking, and dangerous.

My headlights are flicker or do not work sporadically. Changing the bulbs does not help.

I attempted to see if my brights worked, however they would not stay on, they would only flash. This happens when I am in motion or stationary.

23 Headlights problem of the 2010 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 02/15/2017

Headlight stop working when driving at night and you can't get them to turn back on. It has happened 20 or more time to me. It has happened all ready on very dark roads in the country, on the highway other times, I was even pulled over from a police officer before telling me to put my lights on and I showed them they were on but weren't working again. But were working when I left my house. Then the next day they will work again with no problem and work for months then it does it again. You never know when it will happen, I'm afraid to take it out when it's dark out. But it's my only car and sometimes I have no choice but to go out at night and pray it won't happen again, it's very dangerous and a safety issue, and I have seen a lot of complaints for the same thing with other people as well so it's not just my van doing this. Something needs to be done before someone get seriously hurt or dies from this defect and the company ends up getting sued for not fixing this problem. If it was just my van doing it then I would think it was just a fluke thing, but when I have read it has happened to many other owners of the same kind of van then it is a defect that needs to be addressed and fixed before something awful happens to someone. And from what I have read some people said they were told it was something to do with the tipm which costs about $1200 or so to fix. Some people said they fixed that and it still continued to happen. . . I don't have $1200 to replace the tipm and the problem still doesn't get fixed or solve the problem. . . Ripoff having your headlights stop working on you on a dark road at night is not safe at all and is very dangerous.

27 Headlights problem of the 2010 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 09/05/2016

Headlights went out while driving. First during daylight; then at night while driving home. Dangerous and scary. Next days, the lights would work and then not work. Took van to dealership. Diagnosed as a faulty tipm that would cost $1275 to replace. What is sooo galling is reading about many, many, many, many other car owners who have had also been told to replace the tipm in a variety of Chrysler vehicles. Many of these stories are hair raising in the descriptions of danger--cars suddenly stopping on the highway, light going out on dark nights, wipers going nuts or quitting; horns blaring; terrified parents and children. Why no recall???? is Chrysler waiting until people are killed?? sad, sad commentary on this american product. I feel violated and unprotected as a consumer. It is troubling to be told we need to pay $1275 for a part that has been complained about to Chrysler for years and feel relieved that we weren't in a terrible car crash. Something is so not right here.
