Several weeks ago while driving at night the headlights suddenly went out creating a very dangerous situation. When I tried to turn the lights back on they blinked a couple of times and then remained off. Over the next several days the lights would come on sometimes and other times they would not. I changed the light switch but that did not help. I sent the TIPM in to a repair center but they have been unable to identify a problem with it.09

The headlights will go off and stay off unexpectedly while driving at night in the dark. Lights will not go back on for days. Then they will work for a random amount of time, then stop working again while driving in the dark again. You may examine this vehicle if you would like. I think that driving in the dark and the lights unexpectedly going off definitely puts my life and the lives of my family and other drivers at great risk. This problem has been confirmed at my local Firestone auto repair center. Neither the police or the manufacturer have inspected the vehicle yet. The tail lights, the dash lights, everything else works just fine. Neither the headlights or the brights will work. This has been going on for a few months. Why so long? The lights will work for weeks at a time, then unexpectedly shut off and stop working for days. Right now they are not working. I see from doing research on the internet that this seems to be a common problem with these vehicles, and I think that NTSB need to do something about it, like issuing a recall. This is a flawed design!

Headlight switch was turned on and headlights came on then went off. Turned light switch off and then on again and the lights came on and then went out again. This happened about dark time and I was 30 minutes from home. Cannot trust vehicle to drive at night as this has happened several times as I test the switch at home. Contacted dealership and all they could tell me is there is not a recall on this issue. No warning lamps came on. Can only drive during daytime as I cannot trust lights.

THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THEY FLICKER WHEN STARTING THE CAR, BUT THEN SHUT OFF. STANDARD AND HIGH-BEAMS ARE BOTH INOPERABLE. TRIED REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH, TO NO AVAIL. FOG-LIGHTS WORK, WHICH IS MY ONLY LIGHTING AT NIGHT. CHECKED ONLINE FOR A SOLUTION. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE TIPM. TRIED A HARD RESET, BUT AGAIN TO NO AVAIL. THERE IS NO FUSE OR RELAY THAT CAN BE REPLACED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS ORIGINALLY BEGAN IN JUNE, 2020, WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS JUST SHUT OFF. THE HEADLIGHTS FUNCTIONED INTERMITTENTLY FOR A FEW WEEKS, AND THEN FAILED COMPLETELY. THEY STILL FLICKER ONCE WHEN STARTING AND THEN GO OUT.

HEADLIGHT STOP WORKING WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND YOU CAN'T GET THEM TO TURN BACK ON. IT HAS HAPPENED 20 OR MORE TIME TO ME. IT HAS HAPPENED ALL READY ON VERY DARK ROADS IN THE COUNTRY, ON THE HIGHWAY OTHER TIMES, I WAS EVEN PULLED OVER FROM A POLICE OFFICER BEFORE TELLING ME TO PUT MY LIGHTS ON AND I SHOWED THEM THEY WERE ON BUT WEREN'T WORKING AGAIN. BUT WERE WORKING WHEN I LEFT MY HOUSE. THEN THE NEXT DAY THEY WILL WORK AGAIN WITH NO PROBLEM AND WORK FOR MONTHS THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, I'M AFRAID TO TAKE IT OUT WHEN IT'S DARK OUT. BUT IT'S MY ONLY CAR AND SOMETIMES I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GO OUT AT NIGHT AND PRAY IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY ISSUE, AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING WITH OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL SO IT'S NOT JUST MY VAN DOING THIS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIES FROM THIS DEFECT AND THE COMPANY ENDS UP GETTING SUED FOR NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM. IF IT WAS JUST MY VAN DOING IT THEN I WOULD THINK IT WAS JUST A FLUKE THING, BUT WHEN I HAVE READ IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME KIND OF VAN THEN IT IS A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING AWFUL HAPPENS TO SOMEONE. AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ SOME PEOPLE SAID THEY WERE TOLD IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TIPM WHICH COSTS ABOUT $1200 OR SO TO FIX. SOME PEOPLE SAID THEY FIXED THAT AND IT STILL CONTINUED TO HAPPEN...I DON'T HAVE $1200 TO REPLACE THE TIPM AND THE PROBLEM STILL DOESN'T GET FIXED OR SOLVE THE PROBLEM...RIPOFF HAVING YOUR HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING ON YOU ON A DARK ROAD AT NIGHT IS NOT SAFE AT ALL AND IS VERY DANGEROUS.

BOUGHT THIS AS A USED VEHICLE FROM SAFEWAY CHEVROLET IN BURGAW NC. HAD 61,000 MILES. RANDOMLY THE HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT WORK, OR THEY COME ON THEN IMMEDIATELY GO OFF...EVEN IF YOU PULL THE LEVER TO MAKE HIGH BEAM COME ON, THEY COME ONE AND GO RIGHT BACK OFF WHILE THE LEVER IS STILL PULLED. NO OTHER LIGHTS SEEM TO BE AFFECTED HAPPENS DAY OR NIGHT. HAPPENS WHETHER THE SWITCH IS SET TO AUTOMATIC OR TO ON. HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER, SHOWS NO CODES..... HAVE TAKEN IT WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING.... UNABLE TO FIX.... THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS IT HAPPENS SUDDENLY AT NIGHT. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE VEHICLE HAVING FOG LIGHTS, IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH, OR WORSE......

Mileage: 66,000

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. VEHICLE MUST BE TURNED OFF AND I NEED TO TRY TO GET THE LIGHTS TO TURN BACK ON. MOST TIMES THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE LEFT FOR A LITTLE WHILE TO RESET. THE LIGHTS RANDOMLY SHUT OFF REGARDLESS OF STATIONARY OR MOVING. PLEASE HELP! *TR

SOON AFTER PURCHASING THE MINIVAN, THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO CUT OUT INTERMITTENTLY. AT FIRST, IT WAS ONLY DURING THE SUMMER WHEN THE WEATHER WAS VERY WARM AND HUMID. IN ADDITION, WE FOUND THAT IF WE STARTED THE MINIVAN AND LIGHTS WORKED THEY WOULD STAY ON THROUGHOUT OUR DRIVE BUT THAT SOON CHANGED...THE LIGHTS CUT OUT ON US ONE NIGHT AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WAS VERY DARK. WE TRIED TO BRING THIS ISSUE UP TO OUR DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THAT OUR CAR DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. NOW, OUR MINIVAN LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL...THEY FLICKER OR FLASH THREE TIMES LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO COME ON BUT NEVER ACTUALLY TURN ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES!

HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. FIRST DURING DAYLIGHT; THEN AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME. DANGEROUS AND SCARY. NEXT DAYS, THE LIGHTS WOULD WORK AND THEN NOT WORK. TOOK VAN TO DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY TIPM THAT WOULD COST $1275 TO REPLACE. WHAT IS SOOO GALLING IS READING ABOUT MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY OTHER CAR OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD ALSO BEEN TOLD TO REPLACE THE TIPM IN A VARIETY OF CHRYSLER VEHICLES. MANY OF THESE STORIES ARE HAIR RAISING IN THE DESCRIPTIONS OF DANGER--CARS SUDDENLY STOPPING ON THE HIGHWAY, LIGHT GOING OUT ON DARK NIGHTS, WIPERS GOING NUTS OR QUITTING; HORNS BLARING; TERRIFIED PARENTS AND CHILDREN. WHY NO RECALL???? IS CHRYSLER WAITING UNTIL PEOPLE ARE KILLED?? SAD, SAD COMMENTARY ON THIS AMERICAN PRODUCT. I FEEL VIOLATED AND UNPROTECTED AS A CONSUMER. IT IS TROUBLING TO BE TOLD WE NEED TO PAY $1275 FOR A PART THAT HAS BEEN COMPLAINED ABOUT TO CHRYSLER FOR YEARS AND FEEL RELIEVED THAT WE WEREN'T IN A TERRIBLE CAR CRASH. SOMETHING IS SO NOT RIGHT HERE.

WE WERE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON 8/13/2016 AND THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THEY THEN BEGAN TO FLICKER. WE THOUGHT MAYBE IF WE SWITCHED ON THE HIGH BEAMS, THE LIGHTS WOULD WORK, BUT THEY DID NOT. TURNING THE VAN OFF AND ON AGAIN DID NOT WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO SEPARATE TIMES, WITH THE SECOND TIME BEING MORE SEVERE BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT EVEN FLICKER. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, WE WERE IN MOTION ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, ABOUT TO TURN INTO OUR DRIVEWAY. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED ON 8/17/2016, I WAS DRIVING ON CURVY FARM TO MARKET ROADS. ADDITIONALLY, THE FIRST TIME, ONE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND THE OTHER WOULD STAY OFF AT RANDOM MOMENTS - WITHOUT TOUCHING SWITCHES. I HAVE FOUND THAT PRIOR YEARS' MODELS HAD THIS ISSUE, AS WELL, BUT BECAUSE MINE IS A 2010, CHRYSLER SAYS MINE IS A-OK AND THEY ARE NOT INCLUDING MINE IN THE RECALL. I DID NOT FEEL A-OK THE OTHER NIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME IN THE DARK WITH ONLY MY HAZARDS GUIDING MY WAY.

Mileage: 119,000

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A FOUR LANE STREET, WITH NO WARNING, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THE BRIGHTS DID NOT WORK EITHER. TURNED THE SWITCH OFF & ON, NOTHING. TURNED CAR OFF FOR 10 MINUTES THEN BACK ON, BUT HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE DARK, AND OF COURSE I GOT PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE! THANKFULLY ONLY RECEIVED A WARNING! FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS THE HEADLIGHTS & BRIGHTS ARE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN THEY'LL WORK OR NOT. THEY WILL WORK AND THEN JUST GO OUT WHILE WE'RE DRIVING; OR SOMETIMES THEY WON'T SWITCH ON AT ALL. NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'LL HAPPEN AGAIN! FUSE & RELAYS ARE FINE. VERY DANGEROUS!

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN ACCELERATING. THIS ONLY LASTED A BRIEF SECOND, BUT THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD AND DROVE OVER A PARKING BLOCK AND OFF THE CURB. SOON THEREAFTER, I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. I WOULD TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH TO ON. THE LIGHTS FLICKERED FOR A SECOND, THEN SHUT OFF. I WOULD TOGGLE THE LIGHT SWITCH AND WOULD EVENTUALLY WOULD GET THE HEADLIGHTS TO TURN ON. THIS ISSUE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE THEY WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS PRESENTED A SAFETY ISSUE. THANKFULLY, I LIVE ONLY 10 MINUTES FROM WHERE I WORK, AND USE THE FOG LIGHTS ON WELL LIT ROADWAYS TO GET BACK AND FORTH, BUT OBVIOUSLY CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR LONG DISTANCES OR ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES DURING NIGHT TIME HOURS. WHILE THIS ISSUE GOT WORSE, THE RADIO IN THE VEHICLE WOULD UNEXPLAINABLE SHUT DOWN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HEAR A SOUND LIKE WIRES SHORT CIRCUITING FROM SOMEWHERE INSIDE THE DASH. THE SAME TIME THE RADIO GOES OUT, I NOTICED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING, POWER WINDOWS, AND DOOR LOCKS WOULD ALSO LOSE POWER. AFTER RESEARCHING ALL THESE ISSUES THROUGH THE INTERNET AND CHRYSLER FORUMS, IT SEEMS THE LOGICAL ISSUE WOULD BE THE T.I.P.M. ( TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). I AM HAVING THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. MY ONLY CONCERN IS ALL THE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS MODULE ON CHRYSLER, DODGE AND JEEP VEHICLES, AND NO SAFETY RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. THUS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT.

THE HEAD LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. IT ONLY AFFECTS THE HEAD LIGHTS. WE WERE DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT AND THE HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT. WE HAD TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY WITH THE FOG LIGHTS ONLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE READ QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER BUT FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE IT IS SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE. HAVING THE LIGHTS GO OUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THANK YOU. *TR

I NOTICED AT NIGHT MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT STAY ON. THEY WOULD COME ON AND SOMETIMES FLASH. OTHER TIMES THEY WOULD NOT EVEN COME ON AT ALL. DEALER SAID IT IS THE TIPM AND THAT OTHER THINGS COULD START SHUTTING DOWN SINCE THIS IS ALL ELECTRICAL. NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. I DRIVE CHILDREN THE MAJORITY TIME I AM DRIVING AND FEAR THAT SOMETHING WILL SHUT DOWN AT ANYTIME. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS TIPM SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND A VERY COSTLY FIX. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOMETHING HAS NOT BEEN DONE TO RECALL SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

Mileage: 66,300

WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY OUR MECHANIC THAT OUR TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WE TOOK OUR CAR IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AFTER THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON -- EVEN AFTER CHECKING/REPLACING FUSES, REPLACING HEADLIGHT BULBS, AND INSTALLING A NEW HEADLIGHT SWITCH. THE MECHANIC ADVISED US THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTIC CHECK REVEALED AN ERROR CODE FROM THE TIPM. THEY RESET THE CODE, AND THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME FUNCTIONAL AGAIN, BUT THEY WERE UNCERTAIN HOW LONG THE FIX WOULD LAST (IT ONLY LASTED THAT AFTERNOON). AS A RESULT, THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE TIPM. (EXPECTED REPAIR COSTS: $1600, PLUS ABOUT $200 IN REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHT BULB AND SWITCH COSTS.) THE SAME EVENING (OF THE DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE, ABOVE), THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED AGAIN AT NIGHTTIME. WE WERE FORCED TO DRIVE HOME FROM A PROFESSIONAL SPORTING EVENT (ABOUT 6 MILES) ON CITY STREETS IN THE DARK (NO HEADLIGHTS), WITH ONLY HAZARD LIGHTS FLASHING THE WHOLE WAY. NOTE: PRIOR TO THE HEADLIGHT FAILURE, THE RADIO ALSO DIED (FOLLOWING AN AUDIBLE ELECTRIC "POP" (SHORT?) WHILE WE WERE DRIVING.) DIAGNOSTIC AND REPLACEMENT FEES ON THAT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM-RELATED FIX COST US AN ADDITIONAL $600.

WHILE DRIVING ON A INTERSTATE 95 AT APPROX 8:30 PM THE HEADLIGHTS BLINKED THEN WENT OUT. I COULD NOT SEE I HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I WAS OVER 2 HOURS FROM HOME. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH MY HAZARDS ON UNTIL I COULD GET A FRIEND TO MEET ME AND I COULD FOLLOW THEM HOME WITH MY HAZARDS. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME THING. MY 2005 TOWN AND COUNTRY HAD THE SAME ISSUE WHICH IS WHY I ENDED UP TRADING IT IN. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THEY NEVER HEARD OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED IT WOULD COST $90 TO DIAGNOSE. I ASKED IF I PAID FOR WHAT THEY THINK WOULD FIX IT AND IT DOESN'T REPAIR DO I GET THE MONEY BACK THE ANSWER WAS NO. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND SOME PAID TO GET WORK DONE AND IT DIDN'T RESOLVE THE ISSUE. DRIVING A MINI VAN WITH CHILDREN WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE EVEN DURING THE DAY IF IT IS RAINING. I DRIVE WITH MY HEADLIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME TO MAKE MYSELF MORE VISIBLE TO OTHER DRIVERS. MY HEADLIGHTS FAILING COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND DEATH!

UPON STARTING THE CAR, PARTICULARLY ON DAMP AND/OR COLD MORNINGS, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES HAYWIRE. THERE IS NO POWER TO THE DASH, THE HEADLIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF, THE LOCKS STOP WORKING, THE WIPERS GO ON BY THEMSELVES AND REMAIN ON FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. IT IS NOT KNOWN WHETHER THIS IS IMPACTING THE AIR BAGS; THE FUEL GAUGE READS ZERO, SO IT'S NOT KNOWN IF THIS WILL IMPACT THE CAR'S ABILITY TO CONTINUE RUNNING; IT IS ALSO A MAJOR DISTRACTION IF TRYING TO DRIVE. THE DURATION VARIES, FROM ONE MINUTE TO 20 MINUTES.

I HAVE A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVAN. I HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS IN VEHICLE. WHEN I DRIVE AT NIGHT I HAVE TO USE MY HAZARDS FOR OTHER VEHICLES TO SEE ME. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD FUSE BOX OR MODULE AS THEY CALL IT (MECHANIC GOOGLED THE PROBLEM FOR 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY NO HEADLIGHTS - READ THE RESPONSES!!). THE PART TO FIX MY VEHICLE LISTS FROM CHRYSLER FOR $819.05 BUT IT IS NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT IS BACKORDERED ON THE CHRYSLER PARTS SYSTEM, IT LOOKS LIKE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. SO NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE MY WIFE AND 3 KIDS IN A VEHICLE WITH NO HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE I DRIVE IS A FORD E-250 CARGO VAN WITH ONLY 2 SEATS. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?? I SPENT $40,000+ ON A VEHICLE AND THIS IS ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH VEHICLE (RADIO, WARPED DISC ON BRAKES AND OF COURSE THE KEY ISSUES EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT). I TALKED TO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID MAYBE THEY COULD EXPEDITE THE PART BUT I SAID WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THEIR PROBLEMS. CUSTOMER REP "WAS SORRY I FELT THIS WAY" AND THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO REPORTED ISSUES REGARDING THIS (I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE WITH BACKLOG OF PARTS). WHAT SHOULD I DO? NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT ANYMORE? WHO GOING TO PAY TO FIX THIS? NO INJURY OR FATALITY YET BUT WHAT ARE MY CHANCES SINCE I HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH NO HEADLIGHTS AND NO WAY TO FIX THEM?? *TR

HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY TURN OFF. AT FIRST YOU COULD MESS WITH THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND THEY WOULD COME BACK ON NOW THEY WILL NOT. THEY FLASH ABOUT 5 TIMES AND NEITHER THE HEADLIGHTS OR THE BRIGHTS WILL WORK. I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THEY SHUT OFF THIS IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS AS I COULD NOT SEE A THING. THE ONLY LIGHTS THAT WILL WORK IS THE FOG LIGHTS. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. WE HAVE TRIED TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WITH NO LUCK THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH IT. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THESE VANS THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!! WE HAVE 3 SOON TO BE 4 SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS JUST NOT SAFE, WE CAN NOT EVEN DRIVE OUR VAN AT NIGHT TIME DUE TO THE FEAR THE HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT WORK. THEY WILL WORK FOR A DAY MAYBE 2 AND THEN GO BACK TO NOT WORKING. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN MAY 2014 -- WHEN WE TURNED ON THE HEADLIGHTS, THEY WOULD ALMOST IMMEDIATELY GO OFF. SINCE WE OBVIOUSLY COULDN'T DRIVE WITHOUT WORKING HEADLIGHTS, WE TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP. AFTER CHECKING ALL OF THE WIRING RELATING TO THE HEADLIGHTS, AND THE WIRING TO /FROM THE TIPM, THE " PROBABLE" CAUSE WAS A FAULTY TIPM. WHILE DISCUSSING THIS WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, A MECHANIC KEPT FIDDLING WITH THE LIGHT SWITCH AND APPARENTLY THE SYSTEM SOMEHOW RESET. SINCE THERE WAS NO WAY TO KNOW IF THIS WAS A ONE-TIME INCIDENT OR THE START OF MORE PROBLEMS, EVEN THE DEALERSHIP WAS RELUCTANT TO ADVISE SPENDING $1200 OR MORE TO REPLACE THE TIPM, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY COULD OFFER NO GUARANTEE THAT A NEW MODULE WOULD WORK BETTER. IN SEPTEMBER, WE AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS, AND ONCE AGAIN THE SYSTEM SEEMED TO RE-SET. IN NOVEMBER, WE USED THE KEY FOB TO UNLOCK THE DOORS -- AND BOTH FRONT WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN (OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS NO WINDOW CONTROL ON THE KEY FOB). THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF IT'S OWN, AND LEARNING OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT COULD OCCUR, WE NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS MINIVAN, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR GRANDCHILDREN. SINCE MAY 2014, WE'VE ONLY DRIVEN THIS MINIVAN 1200 MILES, AND EVEN THEN HAVE BEEN VERY CAUTIOUS -- ONLY DURING THE DAYTIME AND NEVER ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS IDENTIFIED IN THE BELOW INVESTIGATION. DATE INVESTIGATION OPENED: SEP 25, 2014 DATE INVESTIGATION CLOSED: OPEN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP14004 COMPONENT(S): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THE CAR'S HEADLIGHTS WILL EITHER NOT TURN ON OR WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM(ALTHOUGH THEY SAW MANY TIPM ERROR CODES. IT FINALLY OCCURRED AGAIN LAST WEEK AND MY WIFE RUSHED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NEEDED TO LET THE CAR RUN FOR TWO HOURS SINCE THE TECHNICIAN WAS BUSY AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO RISK THEM NOT SEEING IT OCCUR. THEY HAVE DETERMINED IT TO BE A FAILING TIPM MODULE AND THE PART IS CURRENTLY ON BACKORDER WITH NO ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE. WE CAN NO LONGER USE THE CAR DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS AND ARE FEVERISHLY WAITING ON THE REPLACEMENT PART. DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT NIGHT AND LOSING YOUR LIGHTS, NOT A GOOD THING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY FAMILY ON A 25 MPH ROAD (THANKFULLY NOT ON THE FREEWAY) WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS WERE STILL ON AND THE PARKING LIGHTS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WERE STILL ON AS NORMAL, BUT NO HEADLIGHTS. WE PULLED OVER AND FIGURED WE COULD DRIVE HOME WITH JUST THE FOG LIGHTS ON. NOW WHEN I TRY TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHTS, THEY WILL FLASH A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEN STAY OFF. SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TURNING THE BRIGHTS ON. I HAVE TRIED TAKING THE BATTERY OUT FOR A FEW HOURS AND CHARGING IT, THEN PUTTING IT BACK IN, BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. I'VE TRIED REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IN THE DASH, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP EITHER. I'VE LOOKED FOR LOOSE WIRES, BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY. THE ONLY THING LEFT THAT I CAN THINK OF IS TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AND GETTING THE TIPM REPLACED, BUT APPARENTLY THEY ARE ALL ON BACKORDER. *TR

IT WAS ABOUT 5:30 IN THE MORNING AND WAS DRIVING TO WORK. BOTH HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING. I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I HAD TO WAIT TILL DAYLIGHT BEFORE I COULD DRIVE AGAIN. DIDN'T WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. BOTH HEADLIGHTS FINALLY CAME BACK ON AROUND 730AM. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS DARK, DON'T WANT THE HEADLIGHTS TO GO OUT AGAIN. *TR

MY HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK. THEY BLINK ON AND OFF 5 TIMES WHEN I START MY ENGINE AND THEN STAY OFF. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND IMMEDIATELY FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MY VEHICLE. THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) IS FAULTY. HAVE HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT A DEALER, CHARGED ME $102 TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNEW. TOLD ME THERE ARE 75 TIPM'S ON BACKORDER AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I WILL GET ONE. MEANWHILE, SINCE THIS IS A HANDICAP VEHICLE FOR MY 14 YEAR OLD CHILD WHO IS A PARAPLEGIC, I HAVE TO RELY ON MY FOG LIGHTS TO GET HER TO SCHOOL AT 6:45 IN THE MORNING. I NEED THIS VEHICLE. I CAN'T JUST RUN OUT AND GET A RENTAL UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED LIKE OTHERS CAN. THERE ARE NO HANDICAP VEHICLE RENTALS. NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING A VARIETY OF PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TIPM IN THEIR VEHICLES AND I AM CONCERNED THAT MY VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP SOME OF THOSE PROBLEMS AS WELL ON TOP OF MY SERIOUSLY FRUSTRATING HEADLIGHT ISSUE. IF I HAVE A NIGHTTIME EMERGENCY WITH MY CHILD I WONT BE ABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE. SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST. *TR

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN JANUARY OF 2014, ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER, THE VEHICLE EMERGENCY LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY FLASHED AND THE ALARM REMAINED ON, UNTIL THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. AFTER RECONNECTION, THE PROBLEM SEEM TO HAVE GONE AWAY. BUT TWO MONTHS LATER THE CAR BATTERY DIED. I REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A NEW ONE THAT THE DEALER RECOMMENDED. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN AND THE DEALER RECOMMENDED WE CHANGE THE ALTERNATOR. THE OLD ALTERNATOR WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. A WEEK LATER, THE BATTERY DEAD AGAIN AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACES AGAIN. A WEEK LATER THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. AND THE DEALER DECIDED TO DO A COMPLETE DIAGNOSE OF ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENT. THE DEALER CLAIMED THE DASH CLUSTER HAVE TO BE REPLACE. I DON'T TRUTH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM, I DON'T TRUTH THE CAR AND I AM FRUSTRATED. CHRYSLER GROUP LLC HAS BEEN CONTACTED BUT THEY HAVE NOT RETURN ANY CALL BACK. *TR

AFTER STARTING CAR HEADLIGHTS FLASHED ON THEN OFF 2 OR 3 TIMES THEN REMAINED OFF. AFTER TURNING HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS HAS CONTINUED SINCE THE DATE OF FIRST INCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING ON THE EVENING OF AUGUST 3,2014 THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF, DO NOT PLAN ON DRIVING AT NIGHT AGAIN UNTIL I RECEIVE REPLY FROM CHRYSLER. CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE TO COMPLAIN TODAY AT ABOUT 11:30A.M. AND ONLY WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH SUPERVISOR TO HELP RESOLVE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT SUPERVISOR WILL CALL ME BY CLOSING ON AUGUST 5,2014. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TAG APPARENTLY OCCURRED IN THE 2005 AND 2006 TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVANS AND IS OBVIOUSLY STILL NOT RESOLVED. THE CHRYSLER DEALER I WENT TO TODAY, UNIVERSITY DODGE DIDN'T SEEMED TO CONCERNED AND OFFERED NO HELP. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE THE AUTOMATIC DOORS INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING AND REAR INSIDE LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON. THIS DIDN'T EFFECT OPERATION OR SAFETY OF VEHICLE SO I DIDN'T COMPLAIN TO DEALER. NO FURTHER INCIDENTS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2013, WHILE ON A ROADTRIP TO TEXAS, AIR CONDITIONER AND DIRECTIONALS STOPPED WORKING. NO LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN THE AREA SO I WAS FORCED TO BRING CAR TO LOCAL FIRESTONE AUTO CENTER. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND SOURCE OF ISSUE BUT ISSUE SEEMED TO RESOLVE ITSELF. WHILE AWAY THAT FOLLOWING DECEMBER CAR WAS LEFT UNUSED FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND BATTERY WAS DEAD. BATTERY WAS REPLACED. ELECTRICAL ISSUES CONTINUED IN MARCH 2014 AND PULLED CAR OVER EMERGENTLY INTO STS AUTO CENTER. THEY COULDN'T FIND SOURCE OF ELECTRICAL DRAIN HOWEVER PROBLEM AGAIN APPEARED TO RESOLVE ITSELF. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY SINCE THEN. ALL GAUGES FAIL WHILE WINDSHIELD WIPERS REMAIN ON. DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, THEN A DEFECTIVE DOME LIGHT, THEN CLAIMED THE BATTERY WAS BAD AND REPLACED THAT AGAIN, THEN IT WAS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AGAIN. NOW I'M SUPPOSED TO TRUST THIS CAR IS GOING TO BE RELIABLE AND I'M BEING TOLD BE CHRYSLER THAT THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO OR FEEL OBLIGATED TO DO. I CALLED IN TODAY TO FILE COMPLAINT AND REPORTED MY CAR IS FUNCTIONING. I JUST WENT OUT TO MY CAR AND ALL GAUGES ARE FLASHING AT ME. I MUST HAVE JINXED MYSELF! *TR

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH MY SUBDIVISION, I ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS FOR BETTER VISIBILITY. AT THIS INSTANCE, THE WIPER BLADES TURNED ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. AT THE SAME MOMENT, THE VEHICLE LOST THE HIGH BEAMS, TURN SIGNALS AND WINDSHIELD SOLUTION MOTOR ACTIVATION. THE VEHICLE REMAINED OPERATIONAL AND NO ONE WAS INJURED.

THE HEADLIGHTS DIM, THE RADIO STOPS, THE FOUR LIGHTS DIRECTLY OVER THE SPEEDOMETER COME ON AND OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO WHEN THE DUMMY LIGHTS COME ON. PERIODICALLY THE VEHICLE SHUTS OF AS IT IS MOVING. THIS ALL STARTED HAPPENING AFTER THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN #11V139000 RECALL ON THE IGNITION WAS REPLACED. IT HAS BEEN TO THREE SEPARATE CHRYSLER DEALERS A TOTAL OF SEVEN TIMES. IT HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS. NEITHER CHRYSLER NOR THE DEALER WANTS TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

THE HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY OR WON'T COME ON AT ALL. THE TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT WORK AS WELL AS THE HORN. SOMETIMES EVERYTHING WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS THE HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MANY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY OWNERS HAVE REPORTED. THE ISSUE IS BELIEVED TO BE THE TIPM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE LIKES STARTED FLASHING AND THEN WENT OUT. THE PARKING LIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS WERE THE ONLY LIGHTS THAT WORKED. NEXT MORNING THE LIGHTS WORKED. A FEW DAYS LATER SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I SENT A LETTER TO CHRYSLER AND THEY WANTED ME TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP TO GET LOOKED AT. IT TOOK ME A COUPLE WEEKS TO GET IT THERE CAUSE MY OTHER CAR WAS IN THE SHOP. I HAD DAYS THAT THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON AND DAYS THAT THEY WORKED. AFTER TAKING IT TO DEALER THEY SIMPLY TIGHTENED THE BATTERY CABLES AND CHARGED ME FOR IT. LESS THEN A WEEK LATER IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN. LIGHTS WILL EITHER WORK, FLASH ON AND OFF, OR NOT COME ON AT ALL. I WROTE ANOTHER LETTER TO THEM AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT IN ON FRIDAY BUT AM CONSIDERING JUST CUTTING MY LOSSES AND TRADING IT IN BECAUSE I CARRY KIDS IN MY VAN AND THIS IS NOT A SAFE VAN. *TR

HEADLIGHTS DID NOT COME ON AT NIGHT AFTER STARTING ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND THE LIGHTS WILL BE NORMAL FOR A WEEK OR TWO OR THREE AND THEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. SEVERAL HOURS OR THE NEXT MORNING AFTER A PROBLEM ALL IS NORMAL. SOMETIMES AFTER STARTING THE HEADLIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF. WE ARE AFRAID TO BE AWAY FROM HOME AT NIGHT IN THIS VAN.

THE VEHICLE HAVING THIS ISSUE WAS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THE HEADLIGHTS START FLICKERING ON AND OFF AND BRIGHT AND DIM. IT WAS HAPPENING INDIVIDUALLY, SO ONE LIGHT MAY BE ON AND THE OTHER ONE OFF. FINALLY THEY BOTH STOPPED AND IT WAS ONLY THE PARKING LIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS WORKING. NOTHING WOULD MAKE THEM WORK. DROVE LATER THAT SAME NIGHT AND IT WAS FINE UNTIL I TURNED MY LIGHTS ON BRIGHT. I ALMOST HAD A WRECK WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO IDENTIFY THIS PROBLEM AND RECALL OR EXTEND FREE REPAIRS FOR THIS ASAP BEFORE A FATAL ACCIDENT.

AT FIRST I NOTICED THAT THE AUTO HEADLIGHTS DID NOT COME ON IN MY DARKENED GARAGE LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO. THEN WHEN I TURNED THE LIGHTS ON, THE HEADLIGHTS STILL DID NOT COME ON. ONCE THE CAR HAD BEEN TURNED ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES AND A FEW HOURS LATER, THE LIGHTS WORKED AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 OTHER TIMES, IN A VERY INTERMITTENT FASHION. ONCE THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON. ANOTHER TIME, THE LIGHTS REMAINED OFF EVEN AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE DARK USING ONLY FOG LIGHTS. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT THE LIGHTS WILL WORK WHEN I NEED THEM AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN. *TR
