1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2014

The interior in the front of the vehicle went out. When I took it out to replace it, it was melted on one side. That happened to me with the other side of the front interior lights back around 2011 and when I went to the dealership I was told I would have to buy the whole assembly at a cost of about $150. 00 I think. I asked then if there had been a recall on this and was told no. I asked what would cause the light to melt and he said he did not know. I left it as I still had the one on the drivers side but now I do not have either and there isn't any light in the front of the car when opening the drivers or front passenger door. Please advise me if this has been a problem and or what can I do about it.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 03/09/2014

Just bought a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan and realized the front reading lights were not working. I took of the plastic covers in an attempt to change them and observed that the bulb had completely melted the plastic and burnt part of the casing. It appears as though the plastic housing was very close to, or had already, caught on fire. I am worried that if we put a new light bulb in the same housing it will likely catch the whole van on fire. The safety of my family being paramount, I do not feel safe doing so. After reviewing this problem online, I found numerous other Grand Caravan owners claiming to have had the same problem. This issue needs to be fixed before someone gets hurt, or even worse, killed.
