2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, THEY DO NOT WORK. THE PARKING LIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WORK BUT NOT THE HEADLIGHTS. IT WAS HAPPENING ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH, BUT NOW IT'S 3-4 TIMES A WEEK. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, IT IS A HAZARD. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. LAST NIGHT MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING ON I-15 FROM LAS VEGAS AT APROX.TIME 9PM IN THE DARK AND OUR HEADLIGHTS TURNED-OFF AND THEN TURNED ON RANDOMLY. THIS WAS AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE DRIVING LIKE THIS FOR MORE THAN 100 MILE IN THE MOJAVE DESERT. CARS THOUGHT I WAS FLASHING THEM. I WAS DRIVING IN THE SLOW LANE AT ONE POINT BEHIND A TRUCKER, I BELIEVE HE THOUGHT I WAS FLASHING HIM. I PASSED HIM AND THEN HE GOT ON MY BUMPER AND HE FLASHED HIS LIGHTS ON OFF SEVERAL TIMES AT ME..I WAS SCARED... THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL....ITS NOT SAFE.!! ....AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE HAPPENED NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD...

THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE ROUTING ON DODGE G CARAVAN, 2005, SXT. THE CABLE IS RUBBING THE REAR VERTICAL SWAY BAR LINK CAUSING THE RUBBER ON THE LINE TO DETERIORATE AND POSSIBLY CAUSE BREAKAGE OF THE CABLE THUS LEADING TO PARKING BRAKE FAILURE. THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE WAS RE-ROUTED TO AVOID CONTACT WITH THE SWAY BAR LINK. *TR

INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT FUNCTION WITH 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF BY THEMSELVES ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS LAST NIGHT WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK. I HAD TO CYCLE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH A FEW TIMES TO GET THEM TO WORK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. INTERNET RESEARCH REVEALED MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE. *TR

HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON AND HAVE TURNED OFF (ON THEIR OWN) WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND I HAD TO MESS WITH THE SWITCH REPEATEDLY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BEFORE THE LIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON. ALSO, THE DOOR LOCKS STOP LOCKING/UNLOCKING AND WE HAVE TO PULL THE FUSE, THEN PUT IT BACK IN FOR THEM TO WORK AGAIN. VEHICLE IS A 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT MODEL AND THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER FUNCTION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL YEAR. THIS IS NO SAFE AS THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK VEHICLE IS WITH KEY AT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THERE ARE NO OTHER DOORS WITH KEY ACCESS. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IN A CRASH OR OTHER EMERGENCY SITUATION. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH IT. OUR AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE HAS BEEN REPAIRED ONCE ALREADY AND QUIT WORKING ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER. OUR POWER DOOR LOCKS NOW WILL NOT WORK WITH EITHER THE KEY FOB OR FROM INSIDE ON THE SWITCH. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH GO OUT AND COME ON A VARIOUS TIMES. THESE ARE SERIOUS ISSUES AND DEALERSHIPS ARE CHARGING AN ARM AND LEG TO JUST LOOK AT IT AND YOU STILL AREN'T GUARANTEED HOW LONG IT WILL REMAIN FUNCTIONAL.*TR
