| Description of the problem | The headlights do not always come on when switched on. It sometimes takes several or many many tries to make them work. Occasionally, the headlights turn off while driving for no apparent reason and is not always noticed until we are on a dark street. This is very dangerous and i have found forums with many other similar complaints for this make and model. Http://www. Topix. Com/forum/autos/dodge-caravan/t5ihkiqmtbk2hcua7 i believe it is a defective switch that should be recalled. |
