I have a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan and the clock assembly went out.

2000 Grand Caravan. . . . . Initially, the instrumentation cluster would intermittently extinguish. Hitting a bump, it would come back on. Most recently, the van will not start. No instruments, no click, no nothing. If you whack the top of the dash with your fist, all instruments come on, and the van starts. I have not repaired it yet, but intend to pull the dash and check for bad solder connections.

The instrument cluster constantly shorts out, causing the car to not run . We have taken the vehicle to numerous service centers and dealers, none of which could determine the problem. This has been an ongoing problem for the last six years. We have contacted the dealer they say there is no recall for this. We demand a response from them and they do not return our calls.

All of a sudden the internal instrument panel and console lights went out in my 2002 Grand Caravan. My mechanic said the body control module is faulty/has a short and it's an approx $800 repair. I have 128,000 miles on the caravan. I also have a 1996 caravan and this has never happened to that van, even thought it's 12 years old.

Instruments and instrument panel lights become inoperative with no warning. In the past several years, while driving the 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan, without warning, the instrument panel lights would go off and all gauges would quit working. Usually, a smack on the top of the dashboard would bring it back, however, lately this did not work. The latest incident was on a cold, dark, wet evening with my wife driving and the children in the van. This problem results in not being able to see the speedometer nor the gear selection. I feel this is an unsafe condition that should be looked into by the manufacturer. In performing an internet search on this subject, it appears there may be a manufacturing defect with the soldering of some connectors for the instrument panel. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan. From September of 2007 until may of 2008, the vehicle was taken to the dealer three times for transmission failure. While attempting to accelerate from a red light, the transmission feels as if it will drop to the ground when shifting from first to second gear. On may 14, 2008, the transmission was finally repaired under warranty. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection because paint was peeling from the rear passenger side quarter panel. The dealer stated that tar adhered to the paint; therefore, they washed the quarter panel and scraped off the paint. When the vehicle and headlights are turned off, the instrument panel lights, fog lights, and headlights would remain illuminated, even though the switch was in the off position. While the vehicle was parked, the exterior lights would illuminate automatically, which drained the battery. The dealer stated that the headlamp switch shorted out. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact stated that the switch on the panel to shut the vehicle doors did not work for two days. It has begun to work again, but the contact believes it is only a matter of time before the switch fails again. The current mileage was 7,000 and failure mileage was 2,500. Updated 07/10/08. Updated.

Digital dahboard display goes blank while driving. Driver cannot read any gauges.

Dash board lights intermittently flicker. The vehicle will be taken to the local dealership tomorrow for a recall and will be inspected for the first time for the lights flickering. Additionally, the rear passenger door has made a strange noise when the chain engages to open ever since the van was purchased. It was inspected once with the dealer not finding anything wrong. A year later, the door only opens 1/2 way when remote or button is used and will not close with the use of either. This will be inspected tomorrow as well.

: the contact stated while driving various speeds, the instrument cluster panel intermittently failed to illuminate. Also, during the instrument panel illumination failure, the engine was sluggish and operated at a reduced speed.

1998 Dodge Grand Caravan - when new, recalled for safety belt repair/replacement and air bag clock switch replacement. For about the past 2 years, the interior light switch and instrument panel lights switch from dim to light with a clicking sound but has not been a problem I feel needed immediate addressing. More recently, rear air vents blow cold/warm/hot air when a/c is turned on. However, front vents blow ice cold air. Rear air vents function differently each time we start the car. All these electrical problems cause me great concern for our family of 5 regarding other essential systems that might be affected in the future. After reading all the other problems with this brand, I'm fairly certain we will be purchasing a more reputable brand when we replace our car. What is Chrysler doing to address these numerous electrical problems?.

All of my vehicle lights continuously flicker. A very noticeable change in the intensity of the headlights, marker lights, tail lights, interior lights and instrument lights occurs whenever the engine is running.

Consumer dash lights malfunctioned, consumer took vehicle to the dealer and they could not resolve the problem.

The problem began to effect the speed of the vehicle and the gas that was left in the tank, it also effected the door locks which did not automatically activate as they were suppose to. The check engine light illuminated which was due to a problem with communication between the processor and the transmission.
