I am having a intermittent issue with my headlights, they are shuting off while driving and although crysler has a lifetime warranty on the head light swithch for this exact issue my vehicle VIN is not included in this warranty. This is dangerous and should be a recall as people could be in danger of crashing if this happens and they are unable to see.
The sliding passenger door locks no longer lock automatically lock while driving. They have to be locked manually. This is a safety issue. With children in the back seat, they can now open the doors while the car is moving if an adult forgets to lock them. The lift gate in the back no longer chimes when opening. This is a safety issue. Someone can get whacked with the door, not kowing that it is about to open. The parking lights stay on or come on spontaneously after the headlights have been turned off. This is a problem. Very easy for the owner to come out in the morning to a dead battery and a car that won't start. Some owners have reported the headlights cutting out while driving, a serious safety issue.
Intermittent headlight failure on 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan. Upon turning on headlights, they occasionally don't work. They intermittently fail completely while driving without notice or provocation resulting in a very dangerous situation. There are numerous complaints of this well known problem concerning other years of these vehichles on internet forums. There are no known reasons for the problem. I've asked my mechanic and a Dodge dealer and they both say it's a well known problem without any answers.
2006 Dodge Grand Caravan has intermittent issues with headlights not functioning properly (will not turn on, or may go off while driving, or may flicker while driving). These are serious safety issues because it is intermittent and driver can not always tell if lights are out while driving. Car is used frequently and problems occur at least once a day. Dodge service recommended replacing front control module and power distribution module ($900 parts and labor) but could not promise this would correct the issue so no repairs have been made to date.
On November 20th, a module (part number 5144579-ac) was replaced in the vehicle due to intermittent headlights. January 8th, the vehicle was returned because the headlights failed to operate during operation. The service department was unable to find a problem. Today, January 29th, the headlights failed three times during vehicle operation and twice the high-beam headlight switched to low-beam without any prompting from the vehicle operator.
