LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS INTERMITTENTLY DON'T WORK. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE HIGH-BEAMS WILL WORK ONLY BY HOLDING BACK THE STALK. TURNING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER LOCKING SYSTEM HAD BECOME INOPERABLE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER IN 2006 AND A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED HOWEVER, ONE MONTH LATER THE FAILURE RECURRED.

TOOK MY 2005 GRAND CARAVAN TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO A LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING. WAS JUST INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THAT I NEED A POWER STEERING PUMP, AND RACK AND PINION, BUSHINGS AND BEARINGS. ALSO NEED A NEW RADIATOR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A BARELY 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 70,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHT NOT COMING ON WHEN YOU FLIP THE SWITCH. THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

I FOUND ON THE INTERNET THAT A BOUGHT 63 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE POWER SLIDING DOORS ON MY 05 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WELL I HATE TO BE 64 BUT I WAS LED TO THE PROBLEM IN SIDE THE WIRING HARNESS THERE IS A RED AND BLACK WIRE THE DOOR WILL STOP WORKING WHEN THE WIRE BREAKS AND GETS EXPOSED THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS THAT THESE WIRES NEED TO BE FIXED. *TR

2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHTS TURNING ON. WHEN I TURN THE SWITCH, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON. PARKING LIGHTS DO COME ON. I CAN HAVE THE ENGINE RUNNING AND HAVE THE HIGH BEAMS ON, BUT THE LOW BEAMS DO NOT WORK. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS, AND THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS NEXT - MANY COMPLAINTS ON MANY WEBSITES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF ON MY 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED BY TURNING HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES. A GOOGLE SEARCH TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH 2005 MODELS. I HAVE EXAMINED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND I FEEL THE ISSUE IS DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE SWITCH. *TR

I OWN 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. RECENTLY I NOTICED A WHINNING SOUND FROM FRONT END WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. ITOOK IT TO AMECHANIC HE SAID I HAD LEAKING STEERING RAIL. I ONLY HAD 60000 MILES IM TOLD THIS RAIL IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO BE REPLACED UNLESS OF COURSE ITS DAMAGED BY ACCIDENT. IVE VISITED FORUMS ONLINE AND FOUND THAT LOTS OF OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VAN HAVE PROBLEMS WITH STEERING SYSTEM VIBRATIONS AND LOSS OF POWER ASSIST, JUST AS I HAVE. I DONT THIK THIS IS SAFE. *TR
