36 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2008

In my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan we had an issue with our turn signal either it would not work or you signal left and the right blinker came on. It took 3 visits and 6 phone calls to the dealer until fixed. We also have problems with the headlights working only when it wants to and it seems to work at the dealer so they say sorry come again!.

37 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2007

Have had numerous problems with van starting 3 months after purchase. Dash lights flash but only for seconds so no code can be read. Electric windows failing, batteries replaced numerous times. Have gotten to point I purchase window tracks and replace myself to save on cost. Most recently dash lights and headlights flashing rapidly radio and air go out and vehicle wanting to stall. This is a conversion van by braun. Had handicapped person in wheelchair in passenger side front. Van stalled in intersection but was able to get off to side of road. Where I was, I could not get wheelchair out of van. We could have been killed not to mention I live in florida and heat was at a feel like temp of 108. After 10 or 15 minutes van restarted and was able to limp home. Auto electric repair shop replaced ignition wiring harness but after 30 days it is now doing same again only worse. I now have no transport for handicapped person because why fix something that cannot be resolved without changing every part to figure out real problem. I know even if the bcm is replaced that is only temporary according to other reports of same problem I have.

38 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2006

The vehicle headlights stopped working while driving on multiple occasions. Was forced to pull to the roadside because lights could not be turned on with the switch. A few seconds later the lights illuminated on their own. Received a ticket because lights went out during a daytime rain shower. North carolina requires headlights to be turned on while operating a vehicle in the rain. Dodge service department replaced the front control module (item number 5144579-ac) ($220. 87 parts and labor).

39 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 03/22/2006

: the contact stated the headlights were difficult to turn on/off. The headlights started cutting off intermittently while driving at night. The vehicle has been to the dealership four times. The first time the dealer said the alarm system prevented them from repairing the vehicle. The second and third times they could not duplicate the problem. The fourth time the body control module was replaced. After the fourth time, the headlights started flashing from low beam to high beam intermittently finally going completely off. This last time, all of the lights on the dash went out. Ten seconds later all of the lights returned as normal.

40 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 12/26/2005

I had purchased my vehicle December 26, 2004. I am the not-so-proud owner of a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan se. There were 20 k(give or take a thous miles) miles on it when I purchased it, and it currently has just shy of 79k. All of the listed complaints have happened since owning the vehicle for 3 months or less. . . 1---when I purchased the lemon, I heard a thudding sound, while driving (coming from the front driver wheel well side). I was assured that this was road noise. I persisted something was wrong, on the 3rd attempt, they had tighted/replaced a "sway bushing" (forgive me I think that is what it was called). I didn't hear the noise for a couple of days and it returned. I had brought it in about 3 additional times to 2 different dealers, finally telling me they can not duplicate the problem, their suggestion to be was to turn up the radio!! out of pure it gets on my !@#$ nerves attitude, took it to another place I 6/07, and replaced the struts and shocks. . . . Still hear the thudding. . . . 2. 5 years after initial complaint! 2----my headlights most of the time, do not come on. Or if you are driving at night, they go off without notice. . . How is this safe for me and my family. . . Again could not duplicate. 3----my wipers rub funny while in use, which finally caused my back wiper to just not work on 7/4/2005. I go thru an unreasonable pairs of window wipers---once again, could not duplicate. This repair is still on the back burner for me to fix. 4--had to replace the egr valve to pass inspection/emissions. . . . What about 7/70? 5-rust! I have several rust bubbles coating my white Mini-van like a young child coming of age!.
