Description of the problem	I was driving on the interstate on a cool fall day on a smooth paved interstate, with noone around. I heard a noise like something flying off my car. Not being too concerned as my car was driving fine, i continued driving and arrived at my destination. After getting out of the van, i noticed the entire red cover on my rear tail light- driver's side- had completly fallen off! Obviously since i wasn't ever in an accident and didn't run into anything that day, it must be a manufacturer's defect. I have found other complaints online in regards to this with the 2005 dodge caravan. As i'm on a tight budget, now i have to spend a lot of money to get this tail light fixed so i can pass my vehicle inspection that is due. Not very happy with dodge right now!! Thank you for investigating this report. I appreciate your time and hope this complaint moves further to a recall.
