Headlights problems of the 1996 Dodge Caravan

The contact owns a 1996 Dodge Caravan. The contact stated that the head lights retained water and caused them to appear foggy. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle as needing new head lights. The current mileage was 175,000, and failure mileage was 98,000.

While driving during night hours, intermittently the headlights would fail. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. Please provide more information.

Consumer stated when driving at night it was very difficult to see the road. The service writer informed the consumer that the plastic on the outside of the headlight was clouded due to the heat of the head lamps.

The headlights on our 1996 Caravan are the type with a clear plastic or glass cover over the bulbs. Over time, the clear covering has become very cloudy to the point that the headlights do not illuminate well enough to safely see at night. The lights are not damaged, the lenses are just not at all clear anymore. I thought the problem might be the headlight adjustment but our local Dodge dealer tells us the problem is with the cloudy lens. They say the only repair option is to replace the light assemblies. Our vehicle warranty is long since expired but I do not see this issue as one of warranty but rather safety. Any reasonable person should be able to expect the headlights on a vehicle to illuminate a safe path as long as the vehicle is continued in service. I've contacted Chrysler corporation and they say it is out of warranty and disagree with my safety complaint.

No accidents yet. Headlights have foggy coating on them, which we have low light visibility at night. Also, when filling up tank with gas it runs out when completely full.

Headlights are clouded over. It is extremely hard to see at night, even when the high beams are on. Very dangerous to drive at night.

Plastic headlight covers on 1996 Dodge Caravan have deteriorated leaving a hazy covering. Illumination of the road by the headlights at night is not sufficient for driving.

There is a plastic lens that covers headlights. It has deteriorated and is blocking the head light. Contacted dealer. *a.

Headlights have a glare. Lights are dimmed like a film is over them. Also, it is hard to see at night. Contact dealer, and dealer stated there was no recall.

Headlight covers are made of plastic. Then, material develops a non removeable film that dulls headlight covers. Consumer is no longer able to drive vehicle at night, lights are no longer bright enough.

Headlight lenses are burning from inside and causing poor visibility when driving at night. Dealer contacted. Feel free to provide any further information.

Headlights don't project sufficient lighting on the road while driving.
