Refer to date investigation opened: Sep 25, 2014 date investigation closed: open NHTSA action number: dp14004 component(s): electrical system my wife noticed it first and I have noticed this. It started when not moving but now continues while driving. The windshield wipers wipe even though they are off, the air bag light and total dash lights, we can't tell how fast we are going because of the gauge failure and the headlights blink among other electrical problems. This is not a good situation with 4 kids in the vehicle.

I purchased my 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan from a private party in 2009, and shortly after the gauge cluster stopped functioning while I was driving. Check engine and abs lights came on which on checking with my mechanic said my abs system is non-functional as is all other instrument related readings. A short time later, the panel came back on and worked for awhile than shut off again. Someone said hit the panel face and the gauges should come back on. I did and it did. For awhile. Over time the gauge failure interval grew shorter and shorter, and hitting the panel finally failed to return the use of the gauges. To replace this gauge cluster is an $800. 00 plus repair in a shop with a rebuild panel costing over $200. 00 by itself. I don't want to know what a dealer will charge. Upon further investigation, I have learned the gauge failure culprit is cold solder joints on the back side of the circuit board of the gauge cluster and is an all too common problem with this class of vehicle. This deficiency can easily be avoided by better quality control from the manufacturer.

This is actually my mother's van and a van that I had previously owned. It seems that these vehicles seem to have a problem with the security system not disarming as you try to enter the vehicle. You can unlock the doors from the outside, but as soon as you get in the vehicle and try to start it, it immediately shuts back down as a security precaution. A simple smack on the dash cures it right up, but being as how it's my mother's van now; she doesn't have the strength to simply "smack" the dash and get everything working again. It seems as though, this is not the only known issue. I have read about it through several different people and have experienced it myself on two separate vans. I honestly believe that daimler/Chrysler should address this issue and not have the consumer fix it, seeing as how it is and issue that's buried in the dashboard and not out in plain sight, like some mechanical issues. They fixed the problem with the clock spring in the steering wheel, because it could set off the airbag at any given moment. Well, with me having to smack the dash several different times, her speedometer is off by 50 mph now. I am hoping for a recall notice on this issue, due to the fact that one more good whack could set off the airbag and really injury somebody. Thank you.

I only owned the van for about 2 weeks(it was used) and all my gauges went out. The first time I turned on the mirror button it came back on for a few days went out again. The second time it happened I turned on the wipers it came back on for about a day, then it went out completely. It seems alot of people have the same problems.

Caravan will attempt to start then stalls out. Once done 3 times it will not start for hours or days. All gauges fail at this time as well. Dealer cannot duplicate so tries to charge me for replacing various parts. Dodge needs to be responsible and place a recall on this problem.

After having my transmission replace I noticed everything on my dash was dead, my abs and alarm set light would come on. It only stayed that way for a few minutes and then everything would come back on, but then the problem only got worse. I would try to start the van but when I did it would shut back off because my dash gauges were not working and my abs light was on. I have 3 kids and I depend on my van for transportation. I went on a website " topix" and found that there are alot of people with the same problem, also that is how I got this address. It seems like nobody has the right solution, there are just different suggestions. I think there should be a recall so that way everybody can stop wasting money on what repair shops try (say) and let Dodge figure it out and compensate for all of the hassles, missed appointments, and everything else.

We were on our way from florida to pennsylvania when we were told that one of our headlights were out. We purchased new bulbs and replaced them, then after further investigation realized that when the daylights were on, one light was on and one off, when we turned on the headlights the opposite light came on and the one that was on for daylights went out, then when the high beams were turned on the light that worked switched sides again. The new bulbs did not fix it, so we had to continue to drive home with one light, once in awhile both lights would come on for a few minutes. When we arrived home we took it to the Dodge dealer and found out that the control module needed replaced. The worst part was that the control module had been replaced 14 months prior because of a similar problem (worse, the whole dashboard went out and the wipers didn't work along with the headlights!)! they could not find a cause to why the control module went again. I'm hoping it doesn't happen again in another 14 months (there is only a 12 month warranty on the part)!.

1. Wipers turns on automatically - usually when a turn signal is on. 2. Service engine light turns on frequently with p1698 code and no other pending code. Present interval at an average of a week. Dealer cannot find the root of the problem. Found out this incident is very common as discussed in several chatrooms. Incident usually starts with abs light on then instrument cluster dies, followed by airbag light then the service engine light. At incident, power door locks does not work. At incident, sometimes abs and airbag light will turn off after s short drive then the instrument panel will work. 3. Rear interior lights remain lit even when dash switch is off and no door ajar. Sometimes a single interior light turns on when starting engine and remain lit.

We have 2004 Grand Caravan. We have an electrical issue where the gauges all go out, the doors locks or don't work and the lights stay on when driving, whenever it feels like it. We have had it serviced five times for this issue, changing the control module as well as codes and other items and it is not fixed and now considered as a "lemon". The dealership which is doing the servicing is offering us a new vehicle with a standard trade in value. We find this unacceptable and know our states lemon laws as well as I am in the military and find this a safety issue for my family.
