I WAS TRAVELING LAST NIGHT AND BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT I DID NOT WRECK!!! THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND AFTER I TOGGLED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH 3-4 TIMES THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. HOWEVER, ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER, THEY WENT OFF AGAIN. THIS TIME IT HAPPENED ON A CURVY ROAD WITH NO STREET LIGHTS! I TOGGLED THE SWITCH AGAIN AND THEY CAME BACK ON. I TOOK MY VAN HOME AND IT HAS BEEN PARKED EVER SINCE! I HAVE NOTICED VIA THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE! I HOPE THAT YOU ALL WILL INVESTIGATE AND DETERMINE THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. I HAD 3 OF MY CHILDREN WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND I SHUTTER TO THINK OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED!!!! PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE FOR A WHILE BUT HAS FAILED TO FIX THE ISSUE. MAYBE YOU ALL CAN FORCE THEM TO FIX IT!!! *TR
