Description of the problem	I own a 2005 dodge grand caravan which i bought used in 2005. The headlights have been going off intermittently since aprox. 4 months after i bought it. The dealers shop said they couldn't find anything wrong. The issue is very random with problem not occurring for 2-3 months at a time, then multiple times, then won't occur again for a couple of weeks. If i turn the light switch off when i park, sometimes the parking lights won't turn off or will randomly come on. Two nights ago, the light switch was completely off and the headlights briefly came back on before shutting off. There is nothing that seems to trigger the problem. To resolve it while driving, i have to turn the light switch on and off several times before the lights will come back on. This has happened numerous times while i've been driving at night. I contacted the customer service at dodge they recommended i take it in when the problem is occurring- unfortunately, it doesn't happen all the time and i only know of it happening at night and they're closed. It's becoming more of an issue since i have 2 teenaged children that drive it with my 2 yr old in the car. I researched the issue online and there are numerous other people with the same problem. This vehicle needs to be recalled.
