Description of the problem	In june, 2005 i purchased a 2005 dodge caravan sxt. In doing so, i traded in a 1999 dodge caravan se. I did not notice until about 2 weeks ago, that the instruments (left & right outside mirror controls, head light switch, and dome light switch) on the left side of the steering column did not illuminate when the head lights are turned on. After taking the vehicle to the vendor from which the vehicle was purchased, i was told that the 2005 caravan did not illuminate the instruments on the left of the steering column. My 1999 caravan did. By not illuminating the instruments on the left of the steering, in my opinion, creates a safety hazard. If the need for an adjustment to the left or right outside rear view mirrors, or the dome light control needs adjusting at night, the instruments for doing this can not be seen, which will create a safety hazard. It is suggested that chrysler corp. Recall the 2005 caravans and install an illumination light in the dash behind the aforementioned instruments. You attention to this safety defect will be greatly appreciated. *jb
