| Description of the problem | The headlights intermittently shut off, or won't work at all on my 2005 dodge caravan. The issue started nearly 2 years ago. I had it into the dealer for the issue but the lights were working at that point. A few months after the warranty expired, the problem became more frequent. Today, the headlights rarely come on. The parking lights work fine, just not the headlights. If i pull back the dimmer switch, the high beams will come on but as soon as you let go of the switch, they shut back off. I've seen thousands of complaints of this exact issue on other consumer based websites. This is truly a safety hazard and should result in a recall. |
