| Description of the problem | 2005 dodge caravan has a safety problem with the multi- functional switch. It causes the headlights to go out for no reason. This is extremely dangerous. I was on a dark country road and the headlights would not stay on. They would go out completely and at a speed of 60 mhr it is very dangerous. I read on the internet blogs that this seems to be an ongoing problem for 20058 dodge caravans. Why is there not a safety recall on this? |
