Problems with 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I just acquired this vehicle. i understand gas 6 recalls based in the nhtsa. doors read model 2004. i called chrysler dodge dealer in hemet, california and the service receptionist stated there is nothing to do that are no recalls for this van. please help. the light engine is on. the power train kicks sometimes (drags) suddenly. and i see the 6 recalls applicable to this model

While at a stop light, another driver told us the van's tail light was smoking. we pulled around a corner and into a parking lot and found that the passenger tail light assembly was on fire with flames lapping up the side of the van. the van was turned off and the fire was extinguished. we removed the tail light assembly and found that the inside of the assembly and the wiring harness were destroyed. there is also body damage. we have had problems with the brake light bulb in the passenger side burning out frequently, and had seen evidence of overheating and some melting in the brake light connector socket in about 2010. although the lights burn out frequently, the melting had not gotten worse since then. the driver's side tail light has never exhibited a problem like this. at this time it is unknown if there is any damage or fault in the electrical system beyond the tail light assembly. a rough estimate of obvious damages is approximately $1,000 to $1,500 with repainting.

Turn signals stopped working in the front. replaced bulbs multi funtion switch and light buld sockets and still dont work

The head lights go out while driving. no warning signs, you lose all headlights. if the switch is turned on and off several times they will come back on. my lights went off while i was driving down a county highway going 55 mph. there were no street lights. it happened a total of 4 times on my 40 minute drive home through the country. very scary!

The left side running lights are not lighting when the headlight is turned on. the right side works. the left side blinker and brake light works which indicates the bulbs are good but will not light when the headlights are turned on.

Recall

He's lights flicker while driving, which makes night driving dangerous to the the annoyance of lights flickering and dimming. the dash lights are also flickering.

Power locks malfunctioning, lights go on and off on their own, driving at night dangerous. something wrong with electronic systems. work one time than they dont. now my lights want to stay on or come on randomly n i end up with dead battery. locks dangerous when you can't unlock rear door to get child out. turn signal doesn't turn off on its own. stalls after filling fuel tank. power drivers seat has stooped working properly slso, i'm short and would rather not have to sit on top of sir bag but not all of the adjustment functions are working properly. so can't tilt seat instead i have to sit on top of air bag, at a weight of 129 n under 5 feet tall i sure hope that sir bag never deploys on me

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge grand caravan. the contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 mph, the low beam headlights failed. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the failure was unable to be duplicated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 168,000.

Turn signals randomly stop working and then work again. probably 50% of the time. poses a real safety issue for myself and other drivers. especially at night when hand signals are hard to see. fuses are all good, i'm guessing a faulty switch is to blame. *tr

The headlights started going off while driving. first the fog lights started flashing on and off on their own and when i would pull on the headlight switch out to engage the fog lights, the headlights would turn off. i saw on line that many other people are having this problem with their grand caravans. *tr

Headlights would not turn on but running lights would turn on. bright headlights would only work if i held the lever pulled toward me. all other lights worked, including turning and braking lights. after research online i have found numerous other complaints that were identical to my situation. *js

This is the second time i have gone out to my car only to find that the interior cabin lights are on. the van was in my garage at the time so i know no one could have entered the vehicle. i see that dodge had a recall for there durango, but not there van in the year 2005. i purchased the van from coon rapids dodge in mpls. mn. about 3 years ago. i see by the dodge recall on the durango this could cause a fire. was there a recall on this van for this condition, and should it have been taken care of by the dealer. *tr

Headlight switch shut off lights while driving. now will leave lights on while in the off position and they will turn off but sound will beep as if they are on. this is a major safety issue and should be recalled!! *tr

Headlights went out while driving at night. had to fiddle with the on off switch repeatedly to get them to come back on. could not get issue to replicate. *tr
