Headlights Turn Off While Driving Problems of Dodge Caliber

2010 Dodge Caliber with headlight failures caused by faulty fuse box (tipm). I replace bulbs and one headlight will not light low beam or high beam. All the fuses are good. It has also affected how the car runs and has stalled on the road. This is the 4th or fifth incident I have had with the car, headlights, stalling, turn signals, air bag indicators. The headlights will not work moving or sitting still and turn signals.

Only one headlight will illuminate, even after replacement. This is a commonly reported issue with defective totally integrated power module (tipm) units on this model. The exact same tipm units have been recalled on other models using the part, but not for the Caliber. This is a safety issue since more than one headlight can fail at any time. The consumer should not have to pay for a defect like this.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the headlights failed to illuminate. Additionally, the brake lights remained illuminated while driving. The contact that the driver's and passenger's side ball joints and tie rods were replaced several times at brandywine Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram (3807 kirkwood hwy, wilmington, DE 19808). The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 43,000.

My headlight went out on my car, I got a replacement bulb, put it in and nothing. I got another bulb thinking maybe it's a malfunctioning bulb. Still didn't work, tested the light socket and no power to it, looked up on google for headlight malfunctioning on 2010 Dodge Calibers and there are multiple complaints and videos regarding this issue going back to 2007 Dodge Calibers. This is an electrical problem and Dodge is aware of this issue but states its not a "safety issue" however you can get a ticket for a headlight being out and your car will not pass inspection without a headlight. So how can this not be a safety issue? this needs to be a recall on this vehicle, just for the diagnostic of this issue will cost me $114/hour to have the shop diagnose the electrical problem, not fix it, just tell me what it is and then labor and parts to fix it. Check edmonds. Com there are dozens of complaints about headlight failures. This is a tipm problem that appears to trigger Caliber headlight failure and to replace it is expensive and Dodge is aware of this issue and does nothing.

My left headlight went out. Changing the bulb did not fix it. I was told it was an electrical issue that would cost $1000. After several months, the car started to stall out and have trouble accelerating. When the car stalls out it won't start for several minutes. I would be driving down the road at 60 mph and the car would just die. The worst situation is when I was driving up a hill and my car stalled. I had to stop in the middle of the road and turn it off for several minutes before it would start again. I was told this was related to the same electrical issue and the tipm needed to be replaced. After doing some research, I found that this is a very common problem for this car. It was a defect in manufacturing that causes a very high number of the tipm modules to eventually fail. This is not right and should be fixed by Dodge.

My passenger headlight went out. I replaced with two brand new bulbs but light is still out. Rear windshield wiper, one brake light, and one license plate illumination light are all non functional as well. Recall has been made one year of models of Chrysler vehicles but not mine, and it is the same faulty part that has been put in several models and years of Chrysler vehicles. Upon visiting a Chrysler service center I was advised of a $900 quote to fix the part. I see no reasoning for me to have to foot the bill for a faulty part that Chrysler has known about for several years and refuses to address.

The radio, passenger side headlight and various other problems which a mechanic has told me are controlled by the tpim are not working ! the headlight shut off while I was driving on the interstate! according to everything I'm reading, this is a common problem for multiple years and models of daimler/ Chrysler products. I have tried to replace the headlight twice and it's not broken. This should be recalled immediately ! it's the poor engineering design of the tpim housing! the housing has multiple vent holes in it and it is located in the engine compartment that is often exposed to moisture! please help, I do no have $1000. 00 to pay Chrysler for their poor engineering of the car! thanks.

Driver's side headlight went out. Took it to shop to get it replaced. It was not the lightbulb. They got it fixed, but said the tipm may be faulty and it will need replaced if headlight goes out again. A day later, the headlight went out again.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber. The contact stated while driving various speeds the drivers side headlight failed. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who diagnosed that the entire computer needed to be reset. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000 and the current mileage was 117,000.

I was driving and my passenger low-beam headlight went out, so I went and bought a new headlight, upon installing it, it still didn't work, but the high beam did. Took it to Dodge to see if they could figure it out and was told it's a known issue with Calibers and certain jeeps, the tipm went bad on it and it would be almost $1000 to repair it, for a known issue that Dodge knows about but hasn't been recalled! 2 weeks later, my highbeam even went out on the passenger side, so now the car is sitting parked, unable to drive with improper lighting & tipm problems!.

I own a 2007 Dodge Caliber sxt. Back in March of this year, the driver's side headlight went out. After replacing the bulb, it still did not work. I looked online for some potential enlightenment as to why and found a multitude of message boards and consumer websites stating this is a common problem with the 2007 Dodge Calibers. It starts with losing a headlight and then escalates to loss of power to the headlights, blinkers, hazard lights, windshield wipers, and sometimes the heating/cooling system and/or radio. Initially, in March, I hadn't experienced that yet. Today, I was driving through a city at approximately 30mph when I went to take a turn and noticed my right blinker wasn't working, so I tried the blinker for the left. That too was not working. Neither were my hazard lights or windshield wipers. I was far from home and afraid to shut the car off, for fear it would not restart so I kept driving home cautiously, trying not to change lanes. It began pouring rain and I was on the highway. I had no headlights, no wipers, and no blinkers or hazards to signal I was going over into the breakdown lane. Once in the breakdown lane, I was not easily visible to the other cars speeding by because of the amount of rain and the fact that I had no hazard lights to rely on. I could easily have been hit or hit someone else while trying to navigate through the rain to safety with no working blinkers, hazards, headlights, or wipers! the worst part is, this is a startlingly common issue with the year, make, and model and Dodge is not offering a recall for this issue with the tipm (totally integrated power module), where the problem is stemming from. The dealership wants to charge me $99 for diagnostics and then over $1,000 for a new tipm. I want to start a class action lawsuit to get Dodge to recall all of the vehicles having these safety issues caused by the tipm failure!!!!.

While driving my car at night my right headlight went out,replaced bulb and discovered new bulb does not work,problem was diagnosed as a bad totally integrated power module,so a $20. 00 lamp turned into a costly $1200. 00 repair, what if all lights went out? as I investigated this issue it is very common on Chrysler/Dodge vehicles, this occurrence of failure can and will be a danger if you encounter failure whiling driving at night and lose all lights or other components, I believe Chrysler /Dodge should be held accountable for this failure in their design of this necessary component in their vehicles and a safety recall should be ordered! thank you.
