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 had someone run a redlight & hit my right side quarter panel behind the tire just before the door. My right headlight lense was cracked in the process. The body shop told me it's defective prior to your accident because it's not even sealed. I was told to check if there's a recall. Wether it is or not it's still the fault of Chrysler's & I have moisture inside it now. Is this something you will fix for me? can't remember actuall mileage but fifty nine thousand something. Also can't remember exactly what date. November 2018.

Started van one morning and left running to warm up, came back outside and it had died. The wipers were mid-windshield. Turned the key and dash lights illuminated. The van would not start but made a ticking noise upon turning the key. 2 days later I stopped to get fuel in the van. It hesitated to start, but did start. Headlights were very dim and faded in and out. Put a code reader on the computer and it threw a low battery voltage code. Put a voltmeter on the battery and it read about 10 volts while the van was not running. While the van was running the voltmeter read about 14 volts so it is charging. Have had several instances where power windows would not work or power doors would not open and had to be manually opened.

While parked in driveway, the horn started blowing erratically, headlights were on, and front and rear windshield wipers and washers operating. Door locks would not respond to remote. After s short period of trying to unlock the doors with the remote, they either responded to the remote or unlocked by themselves. At that point I attempted to turn the ignition on and start the vehicle. I started it and then turned it off but that did not stop the horn, wipers, etc. A few seconds after shutting the ignition off, everything stopped. Front and rear wipers did not return to park position until I manually turned them on and off. I started the engine again and had a check engine light with error codes related to the tcm, transmission control module. In addition, while driving, the heater blower motor intermittently stops working. All of this appears to be the result of a faulty tipm,totally integrated power module. This has happened twice in the last two weeks. First occurrence was 1/11/18 and second occurrence was 1/16/18. Searching online revealed that mine is not an isolated problem as there are many reported instances of tipm failures with similar symptoms.

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.

Windshield wipers turn on and off erratically. Headlights turn on and off erratically. Gauges don't work, can't open or close side and rear door. This is due to the tipm not functioning properly.

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.

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 instrument panel randomly lights up with all warning lights and chimes going off simultaneously, the windshield wipers activating and headlights flashing. Stopping the car, turning it off and on doesn't reset the problem, but it randomly goes away and doesn't happen again for two weeks or a month. It happens when the vehicle is stopped or in motion, while the vehicle is running. I see an open NHTSA investigation matching this on my vehicle, for a tipmodule.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact noticed that the headlights were not working. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the tipm failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

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.

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.

Vehicles instrument gauges failed, odometer, compass, and warning lights will not operate. Windshield wiper runs constantly while key is in the on position or motor is running. Headlights stay on, however brights do not illuminate and blinkers do not operate. All other systems are functional.

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.

My van has had flickering headlights and dashboard lights. I replaced the alternator and the battery had been replaced recently as well and it is still doing it. Driving home from work today it was flickering a lot and the dash board lights were flickering a lot as well. Makes it hard to see driving at night.

I have been having intermittent issues with my headlamps not turning on. If I jiggle the fuse box or pull the relay out they will come on. The issue has gotten progressively worse to the point that I have to manipulate the fuse box to get my headlights on at all. All other lights work. I feel very unsafe in my van since I have to pop the hood every time I need headlights and sometimes it can take several minutes before they work. As a woman it is not safe to be in a public place with my van hood up. I would like to see Dodge correct this defect!.

The entire electrical system went haywire. Also note this was at night. Headlights and brights flashing/flickering. Horn blasting. Wipers on full speed (front and rear). Wiper washers spraying (front and rear) interior lights flashing, dash lights flashing. . . It was scary! please help us to fix.

The headlights will flicker, the same time they flicker the dash lights for the odometer will flicker as well. I've also noticed when this started the small light next to my hazard button on the dash flickers as well, even though no one is in that seat. This problem is distracting and makes it difficult to drive at night. This problem has seemed to have gotten worse since it started. I've tried running the van with and without the a/c but this did not solve the issue.

We went out to car to get in it, and all doors were locked and would not unlock. Horn started blaring. Windshield wipers went crazy with windshield wiper fluid spraying. Headlights were blinking on and off. Finally able to get in car, things finally calmed down after about 10 - 15 minutes. Next day, we took it to dealership. They tested it, and they said they did not find anything wrong with it. Similar episodes happened after that one which included taking the key out of the ignition, and the car was still running. We took it to a different dealership to have it checked, and they said they could not find anything wrong with it.

Vehicle intermittently has electrical problems. The problems vary in severity. When problems occur there are various symtoms that include instrument cluster not working, windshield wipers operating without being turned on, headlights become inoperative, heat and ac become inoperative, doors lock and cannot be overridden even manually. When problems occur that can last for a few seconds and multiple times or sometimes a continuous for several minutes.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the headlights malfunctioned. The contact then used the fog lamps to continue driving. The contact did not contact the manufacturer or a dealer for inspection or repairs to the vehicle. The failure mileage was 117,000. Kmj.

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.

I was driving home at 10:30 at night on Thursday the 15th of November 2012 driving 65 mph on state highway 64 in pawnee county oklahoma and the windshield wipers went on by themselves and then the head lights went off by themselves. I took the vehicle to the Dodge dealer and they recommended that I replace a clock spring but weren't even sure if that would fix the headlight issue. Not to mention charging me $300 for the part when I have the extended electronics warranty on the vehicle. I feel that this is a very major safety issue and Dodge needs to look into it further and correct the issue at no charge to the owners, this is obviously a manufacturer defect. There is no reason this vehicle should have this issue. It is a liability to Dodge if not corrected. Please look into this issue as it could end up costing someone their life. I would like to make sure that this gets looked into. Please send me a supervisors number or email so I make sure this gets attention. If I do not hear something back within 48 hours, I will contact the secretary of transportation myself, a mr. Ray lahood through senator coburn. I am really pissed off about the situation. You drive down a road with your family in the dark of night and unexpectedly your headlights go out and you risk your families life. Dodge didn't act like it was a big deal, but it could end up being a major liability for them if they do not remedy the situation.

Went to turn my lights on and they turned on then off then on again and then off. And now they will not turn on. Everything else works, parking lights, dimmer etc. I had a diagnostic run and it showed the following trouble codes: b162f,b,c ; b1633, b1634, b1637. Which all points to the tipm control module. So I called the shop, they called to find the part and there is none available. There are on backorder, about 800 of them to be exact. So that means that I have no headlights until 800 other people get theres. Next thing to go is the wipers, horn and then the car to shut off as I'm driving. Obviously if 800 of these are on back order there is an issue with them.
