Headlights problems of the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan

Headlights failed after driving approximately 30 minutes. When turned off and back on, they would blink for two or three times the remain off. After about 30 minutes I returned to the car and they turned on normally and worked for about 9 miles before failing again. After about 5 minutes of restarting and retrying the lights they worked again for another 8 miles then failed again. Repeated process and was able to drive about 20 miles home with no more failures. Same failure occurred again yesterday (about 4 days after first incident). This time there were multiple failures in 12 miles. All failures occurred while the vehicle was in motion.

I have had my 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan for 1 year. First the alternator went out then the key module then the transmission then the shifting harnesses cable and now the lights keep blinking on and off and the van feels like it has no power the battery was just changed a month ago. This has been the worst vehicle ever and we are scared that it is going to cause a deadly accident. The vehicle gets stuck in gears. And and now keeps shutting off and the headlights keep blinking on and off as well as all the lights in the van. If these are know issues why has there not been a total recall on all these vehicles before a deadly accident does happen. Or is it going to take someone to actually die before something is done about all the known issues the makers of these vehicles are aware of.

Suddenly the headlights stopped working on both high and low. We live in a rural area, so this is serious. When we noticed the problem we were on a highway, moving. Dealship confirms needs new tipm at $1354.

The headlights just stop working and then hours or days later they work again and then in a few days the headlights stop working. The van can be moving or stationary.

The headlights will come on and blink a few times and then go out and not come back on (sim and brights). Took to the dealer and they said they could not recreate the issue so nothing was wrong with it. Can cannot be driven at night or inclement weather. It has happened when stationary, driving through a neighborhood slowly, and when going down an interstate at 70 mph. When that happened other cars could not see me and I couldn't tell where the side of the road was to get off safely. When I made it to the shoulder I had to swerve back into traffic because luckily my eyes adjusted some and was able to see a bridge railing coming up. If not we would have hit it at about 60 miles per hour. I have read endless reports about this happening the same way and many believe it to be the tipm but no dealer or mechanic could give a definitive answer of what was actually causing it. First happened on July 1st 2016 and has happened off and on since then.

Headlights blink on and off. Some days they work, some days they don't. They will even work for a while and then shut off while we're driving!.

I purchase a 2010 Dodge caravan from holt Jeep car dealership July 2014 and the headlights flickers on and off while driving and sometimes don't come back on for a while. The lights blinks out at night while driving what can be done because I reported it to them before and they. They told me the next time it does that I should record it or take a picture so I have a small video that I did from my phone to show what I am talking about. I can't even drive my vehicle at night how limited is that.

Vehicle headlights intermittently go out during driving or starting of vehicle. Various other electrical issues inside vehicle as well occur, for example: dash lights go out, radio lights go out, etc. . . Lights may go out while parked or while driving and intermittent.

I was driving home from work at 10pm on the freeway and my headlights went off then they flashed 3 times tried using my brights and all my lights shut off. The only lights that got me home safe was my park lights. I changed my bulbs still not the problem.

I was driving down the road around dusk, when the headlights suddenly turned off. All parking lights, interior lights and radio worked. However, I had no low beam or high beam headlights. This issue keeps recurring every month or two for the last 1. 5yrs and nobody seems to know the cause. When taken to be looked at the headlights seem to work fine and the problem can't be duplicated at that time. I have noticed if the tipm is jiggled and the van is restarted, they will work fine again for about 1hr or so. Very frustrating and extremely dangerous for my family and other people on the road.

Intermittently the headlights go out and will not come right back on. Had vehicle in shop to diagnose problem and headlights worked and was unable to reproduce problem. Vehicle has been back in shop on several more occasions with operator complaint of no headlights. Becomes issue at night when headlights are needed and while driving they go out.

Rear passenger wheel gets extremely hot while driving. It appears that the caliper may be locking up. The rear wheel on the driver side also makes a high pitched whine, which is intermittent and usually goes away by tapping the brake pedal. We took it to the dealer and they said we needed a rear brake job. However, I believe this is due to defective calipers which are not releasing the pads from the rotors. The rear brakes on every car I have owned always last significantly longer than the front. The fact that the rear pads are worn excessively while front are not indicates a defect in the rear brake assembly. The ignition was repaired as part of a recall. However, after starting the car, the key does not return to the "on" position. This allows the car to run and be driven, however none of my lights or directionals work. I can wiggle the key to get it into the correct position, but sometimes it is not obvious that the key is in the wrong position. This results in me driving without headlights in the rain and thinking that I am signaling properly in turns when in fact everything is off.
