2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Exterior Lighting Problems

Headlights: low beams do not work at all but high beams do. Second time this vehicle has had the same problem. Last time Chrysler replaced under a lifetime replacement, just short of a recall yet here I am having the same problem again.

MY HEADLIGHTS GO ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME THEY EVEN FLICKER SOMETIMES BY TURNING HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF THEY COME BACK ON DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME SOMETIMES I'LL BE DRIVING AND HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST GO OFF BY FLIPPING SWITCH OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES THEY COME BACK ON

HEADLIGHTS. DONT WORK WHEN THEY NEED 2. HAVE BIG PROBLEMS A THEY GO ON AND OFF WHEN I WANTS 2. WHEN CAR IS TURNED ON DONT WORK PARKED MOVING. I NEED HELP

SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON, THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. I HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

WHILE DRIVING ON RURAL ROAD AT NIGHT, SHORTLY AFTER TURNING RIGHT AND DISABLING WINDSHEILD WIPERS: THE HEADLIGHTS AND ENTIRE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. PULLING BACK ON THE BLINKER LEVER AND HOLDING IT BACK ACTIVATED THE BRIGHTS AND THOSE WORKED. AFTER TOGGLING HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON, INSTRUMENT PANEL AND HEADLIGHTS REACTIVATED. THIS FAILURE MODE DOESN'T EXACTLY MATCH EA11010, WHICH CLAIMS THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REMAINS IN OPERATION WHILE ONLY THE HEADLIGHTS FAIL. HOWEVER I AM UNCLEAR ON WHETHER MY VAN'S PROBLEM COULD STILL BE AT LEAST PARTLY CAUSED BY THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH, SO I WILL REPLACE IT AT MY OWN COST. MY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE SWITCH UNDER WARRANTY IF THEY CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, AND OTHERWISE THEY WILL CHARGE A $150 DIAGNOSTIC FEE... MORE THAN THE COST OF THE SWITCH! I'M NOT FALLING FOR THAT TRICK! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE DECISION TO NOT RESOLVE EA11010 WITH A RECALL. HEADLIGHTS FAILING WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY TIME IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT IS TOO INTERMITTENT TO DIAGNOSE ON DEMAND. THUS A RECALL IS THE ONLY APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO ENSURE SAFETY. INSTEAD, IN ORDER TO PROACTIVELY PROTECT MY FAMILY, I AM FORCED TO SPEND MY OWN MONEY FOR REPLACEMENT. I THOUGHT THE NHTSA WAS HERE TO HELP?

BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED, WOULD NOT STAY ON, HIGH BEAM WORKED, LOW BEAMS CAME ON, WENT OFF SEVERAL TIMES, WOULD NOT STAY ON. THIS IS FOR THE DATE TODAY 9/16/15, THE DATE FIELD ABOVE DOESN'T ACCEPT NUMERALS.

Mileage: 136,000

DURING THE DRIVING, HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT 55 MPH AND I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO TOGGLE THE SWITCH AND HEADLIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER A LONG PERIOD WITH THIS ISSUE, IT GETS WORSE, IT TAKES ME AT LEAST 2-3 MINUTES TOGGLING THE SWTICH TO TURN IT ON. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THIS ISSUE. HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS RECALLED BY CHRYSLER BUT IT DOESN'T APPLY ON MY VEHICLE.

SINCE ABOUT MARCH OF THIS YEAR, OUR VAN HEADLAMPS WILL NOT TURN ON WITH THE SWITCH. IT TAKES PLAYING WITH THE SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THEY GO ON. RECENTLY THE HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY GO OFF AS WE ARE DRIVING, WE HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PLAY WITH THE SWITCH TO GET THE LIGHTS TO GO ON. ALSO AS WE PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF, SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHTS OR THE DASH LIGHTS WILL GO ON BY THEMSELVES. CURRENTLY WE ARE HAVING TO JUMP THE CAR OFTEN AS IF THERE IS A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. WE TOOK THE BATTERY TO THE LOCATION WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT AND THEY TESTED THE SYSTEM, AND BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM PASSED ALL TEST. IN OTHER INCIDENTS WHICH MAY OR NOT BE RELATED OUR POWER SLIDING DOORS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE LEFT SIDE DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL, AND THE RIGHT SIDE CLOSES AND OPENS WHEN THE BUTTON IS DEPRESSED. IT TAKES TWO TRIES BEFORE IT LOCKS PROPERLY. WHEN WE TAKE THE VAN TO THE LOCAL DEALER THEY KNOW NOTHING OF THESE ISSUES, AND HAVE BEEN QUOTED $300-600 TO REPAIR EACH INCIDENTS. WE APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL ASSISTANCE REGARDING THESE ISSUES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING G SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 35 AS I WAS ENTERING THE INTERSECTION WHERE INTERSTATE 35 , 80 , 235 MEET A SEMI HAULING WHAT LOOKED LIKE GRAVEL WAS MERGING ONTO 235 AT THE SAME TIME I WAS . ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL MY VEHICLE LIGHTING WENT DARK AND THE TRUCK DRIVER SAW ME.. I WAS FRANTICALLY TRYING TO GET THEM ON AND I DID NOT SEE HIM AND JUST WHEN HE MERGED HE SAW ME AND SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES . RESULTING IN MY VEHICLE BEING PELTED WITH SAND AND ROCK . MY WIND SHIELD HAD NUMEROUS DINGS IN IT AND SINCE IT WAS TOTALLY DARK I DIDN'T NOTICE THEM TILL IT WAS TO LATE TO STOP HIM . MY LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON AND UNTIL IT'S FIXED I CAN'T DRIVE AFTER DARK. I WENT TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY AND SINCE I AM A DISABLED VETERAN I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY AT THIS TIME TO GET THE LIGHTS FIXED AND NOW THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED. *TR

Mileage: 149,000

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I HAD TO TURN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES TO GET THE LIGHTS BACK. GOOD THING THAT I WAS JUST LEAVING TOWN AND NOT ON THE FREEWAY YET. *TR

Mileage: 129,850

TURNED THE LIGHTS ON AS IT WAS GETTING DARK WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN ON HIGH BEAMS IT WAS IF HEADLIGHTS WERE BARELY ON. ALSO THE LEFT FRONT BLINKER FAILED ALTHOUGH THE BACK BLINKER DID WORK BUT FLASHED EXTREMELY FAST. REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS AND STILL HAVE TO USE HEADLIGHTS ON BRIGHT TO SEE AS IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON DIM. THE LEFT FRONT BLINKER AND SIDE LIGHT FAILED WITHIN A MONTH OF REPLACEMENT. WHEN REPLACED AGAIN, THERE WAS NO CHANGE. THE BLINKER/SIDE LIGHT FAILED TO OPERATE. *TR

Mileage: 196,065

THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY IS TURNED ON. TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS OFF/ON SOMETIMES RESTORE HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION. THIS HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE AS THE TIME GOES ON. WE CALLED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER IN NJ AND WERE TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR ISSUES WITH OUR VIN. *TR

Mileage: 102,000

NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR WEEKS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF . ALL BUT TWO TIMES THEY CAME BACK ON. THE LAST TWO THEY DID NOT COME ON UNTIL SHUTTING THE SWITCH OFF AND TURNING BACK ON. ALL WERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS . CHRYSLER DEALERS HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS HOWEVER IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS ADDRESSED PRIOR TO SOMEONE GETTING KILLED . I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT . *TR

HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS VERY OFTEN WHILE DRIVING AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS ALL GO ON, THEN THE GAUGES STOP WORKING, THE TRIP COMPUTER STOPS FAILS, THE LIGHTS FLICKER HIGH TO LOW OR LOW TO HIGH BEAM AND CAN'T BE CHANGED SOMETIMESTHE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 25-75 MPH! THE FIRST INDICATOR SEEMS THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AS BEING "OFF". SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS & GAUGES GO BACK TO NORMAL. A GUARANTEED SHORT-TERM FIX IS TO REMOVE THE BATTERY TO RESET THE BATTERY BUTTON UNDER THE BATTERY, OR TAKE THE POSITIVE TERMINAL OFF & GROUND IT AGAINST AN EXPOSED BOLT. MANY SEEM TO HAVE BEEN FOOLED INTO BUYING A NEW BATTERY, ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM RE-ARISE, INADVERTENTLY "FIXED" WHEN THE A NEW BATTERY, BUT JUST LIFTING THE OLD BATTERY A LITTLE WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME SHORT-TERM TRICK. THE SEQUENCE OF FAILURE SEEMS TO BE (RAIN INFLUENCED?): AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON, LIGHTS FLICKER, ALL GAUGES & GEAR POSITION INDICATORS LIGHT UP, SPEEDO & TACH PULSE THEN FAIL, THEN YOU CAN JUST DRIVE WITH ALL WARNING LIGHTS LIT -NO TACH OR SPEEDO...THEN EVERY THING RESETS IN 10 SECONDS TO 10 MINUTES, OR, DASH LIGHTS GO OUT THEN THE ENGINE QUITS, LEAVING YOU DRIVING A POWERLESS ROLLING BRICK IN TRAFFIC, FIGHTING THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT POWER STEERING, HAVING ONLY INERTIA (IF YOU ARE SMART ENOUGH TO HAVE THROWN THE VAN INTO NEUTRAL) TO COAST OFF THE ROAD, THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, ETC. OUR DEALERSHIP'S DIAGNOSIS WAS A "BAD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER" - HARDLY, AS I DON'T SEE HOW DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY WILL INSTANTLY "FIX" THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR A WHILE, OR HOW THE CLUSTER WILL AFFECT SWITCHING BETWEEN HIGH & LOW BEAMS, OR KILL THE ENGINE AFTER A SEQUENCE OF EVENTS. THIS IS A WELL KNOW PROGRESSIVELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, OF FAILURE LEADING TO SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. THERE ARE MANY, MANY ELECTRICAL COMPLAINTS RELATING TO ELECTRICAL FAILURES REGARDING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY AND ENGINE POWER. *TR

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED VAN WITH 66000 MILES ON IT, DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING NOW BECAUSE OF ITS PROBLEM. STALLS AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, ALL LIGHTS DO A PULSE/ SURGE, AND EFFECT DRIVING VEHICLE. WE HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND SEE THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WAS ENGAGED, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WOULD ACTIVATE INSTEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

JUST RECENTLY HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS,RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THE SWITCH WAS UNDER RECALL. THE OTHER NIGHT MY HUSBAND WAS FOLLOWING ME HOME AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKELIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING, AFTER TESTING THINGS OUT WE THOUGHT WE FIGURED THE PROBLEM AND CHANGED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. TODAY WHEN I WENT FOR THE HEADLAMP SWITCH RECALL THE TECH CAME OUT AND SAID OH AND BY THE WAY YOU HAVE NO BREAK LIGHTS. NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO CHECK AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT SEEMS LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN COMPUTER ISSUES. *TR

DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE, THE WARNING "DING" WENT OFF AS IF A DOOR WAS OPEN, THEN THE GAUGES STARTED TO SWEEP ERRATICALLY, AT THE SAME TIME SEVERAL DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE ODOMETER AND PRDNL LIGHTS FLICKER, AS WELL AS THE HEAD LIGHTS. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT IS MORE FREQUENT WHEN RAINING AND WHEN I ACCELERATE, PULLING ON THE ENGINE. THE HEADLIGHTS, ODOMETER, AND PRNDL FLICKER AT AN IDLE. IF IT BEGINS THE HAPPEN, I CAN STOP THE VAN, SHUT IT OFF, THEN RESTART IT AND THIS USUALLY SOLVES THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CHECKED THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS, REPLACED THE BATTERY, NONE OF THESE HAS RESOLVED THIS PROBLEM. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET, I SEE THIS AS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2005 DODGE/CHRYSLER VANS. SOME REPORT STALLING, WHICH CAN BE A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. MINE HAS NOT DONE THAT YET. *TR

Mileage: 85,000

SINCE THIS PAST SUMMER OUR VAN HAS DEMONSTRATED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FLICKERING OF LIGHT, CLUSTER GAUGES, AND THE RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF; DANGEROUS AS SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE BECOME UNREADABLE; RESEARCHED ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVING SAME ISSUE; SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE PAYING A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE FIXED BUT PROBLEMS STILL PERSIST; THIS IS AN ISSUE CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL LIKE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. *TR

ON THE INTERSTATE I-75 IN TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS AT NIGHT, HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH FAMILY OF 4. QUICKLY ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON AND OFF THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WHICH TURNED THE LIGHTS BACK ON. MY TEENAGER HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT PROBLEMS TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS ON PREVIOUSLY, WHICH I HAD IGNORED, STATING THAT SHE TURNED THE LIGHT SWITCH ON BUT THE HEADLAMPS DID NOT GO ON BUT THAT THE YELLOW SIDE MARKERS DID TURN ON. HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM REPEATEDLY OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS. CHRYSLER DEALER TOM AHL IN LIMA OHIO WAS INFORMED OF THE ISSUE BUT WOULD NOT INSPECT OR SERVICE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CHARGING AN INSPECTION FEE, AS NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. I DECLINED TO PAY THIS AND ASKED THEM TO ENTER THE ISSUE INTO THEIR SERVICE DATABASE. *TR

Mileage: 90,000

HAVE A 2005 TOWN AND COUNTRY THAT I BOUGHT AS A USED VEHICLE AND I WAS TRAVELING AT NIGHT DOING FINE WHEN OUT OF THE BLUE THE HEADLIGHTS SWITCHED THEMSELVES OFF, I MANUALLY TURNED THEM OFF AND BACK ON AND THEY DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE CAR FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES CAME BACK AND WHEN I THE CAR WITH NO ISSUE, TURNED ON THE HEADLIGHTS NO GO, HAD TO DO THIS THREE TIME BEFORE THEY CAME BACK ON ANY IDEAS. *TR

Mileage: 186,000

WHILE DRIVING MY HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER THEN WENT OUT HAD TO PULL OVER ,I FLIPPER THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL HEADLIGHTS TURNED BACK ON. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH TURNING ON MY HEADLIGHTS HAVING TO FLIP THE SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES, THE LIGHTS WILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING .I HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT BULBS ALONG WITH DASH BOARD LIGHTS AND I,M STILL HAVING PROBLEMS, IT'S LIKE THEY HAVE A MIND ALL THEIR OWN TO WHEN THEY TURN OFF AND ON. *TR

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS IN LAST 3 WEEKS WHERE ALL INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING FLICKER OR PULSATE. OVER THE PAST YEAR I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED TOTAL LOSS OF EXTERIOR LIGHTING BUT ONLY NOTICED IT WHEN PARKING OR AT LOWER SPEEDS WITHOUT CAUSING A HAZARDOUS SITUATION AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENTS. ON EACH OF THE INCIDENTS I WAS ABLE TO TOGGLE THE LIGHT SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS ABLE TO RE-ACTIVATE THE LIGHTS. THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE SEPARATED BY WEEKS BETWEEN INCIDENTS AND IT HASN'T OCCURRED FOR A COUPLE MONTHS. THE FLICKERING IS A NEW ISSUE AND SOME ON-LINE RESEARCH TO THE FLICKERING LED ME TO THIS. *TR

Mileage: 86,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS HE NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE FAILURE WAS OF THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE BY REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 99,000.

OVERHEAD LIGHTS IN CONSOLE WENT OUT ONE AT A TIME (ONE HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED WITHIN 1ST YR.). I WENT IN TO BUY REPLACEMENT BULBS AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DESIGN HAS CHANGED AND PART OF THE PLASTIC HAS TO BE TRIMMED TO MAKE IT FIT. THEY PUT THE BULBS IN AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK. THEY SAID THE WIRING MUST HAVE MELTED SO YOU NEED TO ORDER THE ENTIRE OVERHEAD CONSOLE. AFTER HEARING THIS I WONDERED WHY THERE HAD NOT BEEN A RECALL - WIRING BURNED? AND, IT SOUNDED AS THOUGH THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM, I WAS NOT THE FIRST. MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT IT TODAY AND HE GOT THE LIGHT TO WORK BUT NOT WITH THE SWITCH. IT IS GETTING POWER BUT IT WON'T OPERATE THE BULB. THEY HAD SAID PART OF THE PLASTIC ON THE BULBS MELT. ONCE AGAIN, MELTING BULB BASE NOT A RECALL ISSUE? CHRYSLER TOLD ME THE DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO TROUBLESHOOT TO FIND THE PROBLEM - WITH ME PAYING $92.50/HR.! THERE ARE SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING WHICH I FOUND ON THE INTERNET - LOTS OF BULBS HAVING TO BE REPLACED AND SINCE THEY "REDESIGNED" THE BULBS THE DO NOT WORK. *TR

DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING, GAUGES JUMPING. HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF DURING DRIVING AT NIGHT. TRANSMISSION SHORTLY DISENGAGED. DANGEROUS SITUATION! CHRYSLER CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. NHTSA CASE EA11010 IS OPEN. NEED URGENT SUPPORT. *TR

Mileage: 112,000

HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON. REPEATED TURNING OFF & ON OF HEADLIGHT SWITCH (5 TO 10 ITMES) EVENTUALLY WORKS. HOWEVER, USING THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER ON THE COLUMN TO HOLD THE BRIGHTS ON DOES RESULT IN BRIGHTS ONLY - IF YOU HOLD THE LEVER CONTINUOUSLY. NHTSA EA11010 FROM SEPTEMBER OF 2011 SAYS DEFECT IS BEING INVESTIGATED. HOW MUCH TIME IS NEEDED FOR A DIAGNOSIS? *TR

LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS WHILE TRAVELING 70MPH. HIGH BEAMS WORKED ONLY IF LEVER WAS HELD DOWN, AND I HAD TO DRIVE LIKE THIS FOR AN HOUR. OVER THE PAST 2-3 YEARS THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FLICKER OR TURN OFF, BUT I COULD USUALLY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BY TOGGLING THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES. THIS WOULD OCCUR PERIODICALLY, WITH SEVERAL MONTHS IN BETWEEN INCIDENTS. IN MAY AND JUNE OF THIS YEAR, THE PROBLEM BEGAN TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY, WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS FINALLY OCCURRING. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE FRONT HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE 6-15-12 AND THE HEADLIGHTS OPERATED FINE UNTIL THIS PAST WEEK- 7-11-12, WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER AGAIN AND WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ONLY 5MPH IN PARKING GARAGE. TOGGLING THE ON/OFF SWITCH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AND HEADLIGHTS CAME ON.

Mileage: 128,900

THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT TURN ON WHEN THE SWITCH WAS ACTIVATED. TOGGLING THE SWITCH BACK AND FORTH A FEW TIMES, TURNED THEM ON. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 2 TIMES PER WEEK. THE LIGHTS WILL USUALLY TURN ON WHEN SWITCHING THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF, BUT THE PAST TWO DAYS THEY HAVE NOT TURNED ON AT ALL. THE PARKING LIGHTS AND HIGHBEAMS STILL WORK, BUT NOT THE MAIN DRIVING LIGHTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. *TR

Mileage: 96,000

MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS IN THE WINTER. FIRST, I NOTICED THAT THEY FLICKERED WHEN I HIT A BUMP, AND THEN WENT COMPLETELY OFF. IF I PUT ON THE BRIGHTS THEY WOULD WORK. IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL RECENTLY. THEY WENT COMPLETELY OFF FOR THE ENTIRE 2 HOUR DRIVE. I HAD TO HOLD THE BRIGHTS ON TO SEE. NOW THEY DON'T EVEN COME ON AT ALL EXCEPT FOR THE BRIGHTS. I STOPPED AT CHRYSLER AND HE SEEMED TO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINTS. ITS DANGEROUS. *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 108,943. UPDATED 6/15/12 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD STOP WORKING OR DIM AFTER THEY WERE TURNED ON. THE CONSUMER STATED IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT. THERE HAVE BEEN APPROXIMATELY 12 INCIDENTS WHERE THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT WITH NO WARNING. THE DEALER HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 06/22/12

HEADLIGHTS WILL SOMETIMES WILL NOT TURN ON UNTIL TRIED SEVERAL TIMES. THIS WEEK, WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 38 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHED ON/OFF RAPIDLY 3 TIMES THEN REMAINED OFF UNTIL I CYCLED THE SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES. NO MORE OCCURRENCES THAT EVENING OR FOR 4 MORE DAYS, THEN TONIGHT AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 5 MILES HOME, I DECIDED TO TRY THE SWITCH AND FOUND THAT ONLY ABOUT 1 OUT OF 5 TRIES WERE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THE HEADLIGHTS TO TURN ON. THE SERIOUS CONCERN IS WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS FLASH AND THEN TURN OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING AND WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY TURN ON. *TR

Mileage: 119,000

HEADLIGHTS SPONTANEOUSLY STOP PROJECTING LIGHT. SOMETIMES, PLAYING WITH THE SWITCH SEEMS TO HELP. NEITHER HIGH BEAM NOR LOW BEAM LIGHT POSITIONS WORK SO LONG AS THE LIGHTING SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING. SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN PARTICULARLY HUMID SITUATIONS. MECHANICS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME, BUT FREQUENCY OF MALFUNCTION VARIES MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE IF THEIR SOLUTION WAS EFFECTIVE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. *TR

AFTER FLIPPING THE SWITCH A NUMBER OF TIMES I GOT THE LIGHTS BACK ON. WE JUST LOST LIGHTS AGAIN LAST NIGHT AND WERE ABLE TO GET THEM ON AFTER FLIPPING THE SWITCH A NUMBER OF TIMES. *TR

WENT TO TURN HEADLIGHTS ON AND THEY WOULD NOT TURN ON. HAD THIS HAPPEN ONCE BEFORE, BUT I JUST TURNED THE SWITCH ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY AND THEY FINALLY WORKED. I TRIED A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS THIS TIME AND NOTHING WORKED. THEY LIGHTS STILL DON'T TURN ON. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DANGEROUS PROBLEM! I LOOKED FOR A SOLUTION ONLINE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS

I HAD TWO CHRYSLER PRODUCTS, (ONE MINIVAN AND ONE RAM PICKUP), WITH THE SAME CONCERN WITHIN A MATTER OF WEEKS. WHEN TURNING ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, THE OUTSIDE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL FLASHES. I OWN A SERVICE REPAIR SHOP AND CHECKED MY "IDENTIFIX" DATA BASE AND SEE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH IS BAD CAUSING THIS CONCERN. *TT

I WAS TRAVELING LAST NIGHT AND BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT I DID NOT WRECK!!! THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND AFTER I TOGGLED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH 3-4 TIMES THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. HOWEVER, ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER, THEY WENT OFF AGAIN. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED ON A CURVY ROAD WITH NO STREET LIGHTS! I TOGGLED THE SWITCH AGAIN AND THEY CAME BACK ON. I TOOK MY VAN HOME AND IT HAS BEEN PARKED EVER SINCE! I HAVE NOTICED VIA THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE! I HOPE THAT YOU ALL WILL INVESTIGATE AND DETERMINE THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. I HAD 3 OF MY CHILDREN WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND I SHUTTER TO THINK OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED!!!! PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM.

ABOUT MAY OR JUNE OF THIS YEAR, THE HEADLIGHTS OF OUR 2005 TOWN & COUNTRY VAN STARTED FAILING TO COME ON WHEN THE INTERIOR SWITCH WAS TURN "ON". AT FIRST, SIMPLE TOGGLING WOULD GET THEM TO WORK THOUGH THE FREQUENCY OF HAVING TO DO THIS AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS FAILING TO STAY ON HAVE INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE RECENT MONTHS. THIS IS MY WIFE'S PRIMARY WORK VEHICLE AND SHE OFTEN RETURNS FROM WORK WHEN IT'S DARK. SHE HAD A NUMBER OF INSTANCES WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE JUST "GONE OUT" WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. I WAS LOOKING ON THE INTERNET RECENTLY TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY POSTS AS TO WHAT IS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN AND NOT MANY HAVE POSTED AN DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO THE HEADLIGHT FAILURE. MY OTHER MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS 2005 TOWN & COUNTRY IS THE AC SYSTEM. WE HAVE HAD THIS FIXED OVER 11 TIMES SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN OCTOBER OF 2005 WITH THE FIRST REPAIR COMING LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VAN. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE SUDDENLY GONE OFF ON SEVERAL INSTANCES, WITH NO APPARENT PATTERN. JIGGLING THE SWITCH WORKS SOMETIMES. ON OTHERS, I HAVE TO DRIVE HOME PULLING BACK ON THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH, WHICH IS NONE TOO POPULAR WITH FELLOW MOTORISTS. OVERALL, THIS HAS HAPPENED 10 TO 15 TIMES. EVEN IF I TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THIS DOES NOT NECESSARILY SOLVE THE ISSUE. I LIVE IN AN AREA WITH ROADS THAT FLOOD AND OFTEN HAVE NO SHOULDERS. SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS HAVE RESULTED WHILE DRIVING HOME IN THE RAIN AND SUDDENLY LOSING THE LIGHTS. YOUR ASSISTANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

BOTH HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AT NIGHT. I HAD TO HOLD THE BRIGHT LIGHT SWITCH ON FOR AN HOUR DRIVE HOME IN THE DARK. THE NEXT DAY THEY DIDN'T WORK, THEN WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC, THEY FIDDLED WITH THE SWITCH AND GOT IT WORKING. BUT MANY MANY FOLKS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ON-LINE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

IT FIRST STARTED BY FAILING TO TURN ON AFTER A FEW TIMES OF TRYING TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH. IT THEN PROGRESSED BY TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY. IT WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL 2 MONTHS AGO. AFTER A COLD START THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON BUT AFTER DRIVING IT TO THE STORE ABOUT 3-4 MILES AWAY AND RESTARTING THE CAR IT HAS FAILED REPEATEDLY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE HAD TO DRIVE HOME BY MANUALLY HOLDING THE HIGH BEAMS ON TO GET HOME. THERE WAS ALMOST AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED BUT IT ONLY HAPPENS ON OCCASION SO THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. MY WIFE HAS BEEN DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT AND THE LIGHT JUST WENT OUT AND THEN SHE COULDN'T SEE. FROM LOOKING ONLINE I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THANKS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. TONIGHT AT 8:30 I TURNED THE LIGHT SWITCH ON AND STARTED OUT OF A PARKING LOT WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ON. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF FLIPPING THE LIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF WITH NO SUCCESS, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TRIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE HEADLIGHTS TO TURN ON. 15 MINUTES LATER, WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40+MPH WITH 3 MONTH OLD TWIN GRANDBABIES AND TWO OLDER CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, THE LIGHTS TURN OFF FOR AT LEAST 20 SECONDS OR MORE AND THEN RETURN BACK ON FOR EVEN LESS TIME, WHEN THEY RESUME TO TURNING OFF AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE MAKING IT HOME. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER OF 2010 WITH NO IDEA THAT THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILING. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH THE INTENTION TO SAFELY CARRY MY TWIN GRANDCHILDREN AND IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTION AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING THEY WILL TURN OFF, FLASH OR NOT EVEN TURN ON WHEN NEEDED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW, AND IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH NO HEADLIGHTS. *TR

IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT NIGHT WHEN DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO TURN THE SWITCH ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT TURNED BACK ON. THIS KEPT COMING BACK EVERY NOW AND THEN. SOME TIMES THE LIGHTS WILL QUIT WORKING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND THEN ONE DAY THEY WOULD JUST COME BACK ON, AND STAY ON FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. REPLACED HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND HEADLIGHT BULBS, CLEAN ALL THE FUSES IN THE FUSE BOX, PROBLEM NOT SOLVED. THIS PROBLEM COMPROMISES THE SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS OF THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF OTHER ROAD USERS. *TR

IT CAN GO FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITHOUT A PROBLEM THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM TO COME RIGHT BACK ON. BUT I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE THE LIGHTS JUST WILL NOT COME ON WITHOUT TURNING THE SWITCH OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS REALLY GETTING OLD FAST.

HEADLIGHTS WON'T TURN ON WHEN HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS TURNED ON. FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE, IT APPEARS THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE HEADLIGHTS THEY ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. TO MAKE SURE THE LIGHTS ARE ON, THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE STARTED, THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH TURNED ON, AND THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER MUST GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO VISUALLY CHECK IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. IF THEY AREN'T, THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH MUST BE TURNED ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE LIGHTS WILL WORK. THE HEADLIGHT FAILURE OCCURS ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME THE HEADLIGHTS ARE REQUIRED.
