2005 Dodge GRAND CARAVAN Exterior Lighting Headlights Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	900100

File date	04/01/12
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Headlights only work sporadically. At times, they won't turn on at all (running lights and rear lights still work) and it often takes several tries to get them turned on. Holding the lever activates the high beams, which still work. Early this morning, they simply failed while i was driving down a busy road in the dark. Extremely unsafe. Research indicates a recurring problem with the switch as my exact issue has been detailed by many, many individuals. As big as a safety issue as this is, it's hard to imagine how this hasn't spawned a recall.
