2 times I have had my running and the doors lock. I had to call a locksmith. Now the locks go on and off and the headlight and inside lights come on when turned off? This has happened when car was in park but also the locking and unlocking while driving.

Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
Why is the automotive makers allowed to put out car with headlight lenses that cloud up after 6-7 years. This reduces visability and could lead to an accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 chrysler pacifica. The contact attempted to illuminate the headlights, but the headlights failed to illuminate. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the mechanic replaced the tipm module. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 247,000.
All of the dash lights, ABS, brake, interior lights, headlights have been flickering for a solid 3 days. I was driving at night on a non-lit stretch of road when all my lights went out, inside and out with a car approaching from the other direction. I tried to use my high beams and they were out too. I had my children and had to pull over. I have read reviews and this seems to be a huge problem with these cars yet no recall? Why? This is so dangerous! This is my main vehicle I drive for work and with my family. I know am scared to drive it and what people have stated its hard and expensive to fix!
2004 chrysler pacifica. Bought the car with 16000 miles and have had it 6 years now. The last 3-4 years have had problems with constantly replacing headlights and tail lights, approximately every 6 months. Now recently, beginning sept. 2014, the driver side rear running light will not come on. The break light is fine and the parking light is fine, but no running light. I know it is not the bulb, because I used the bulb that was working on the right side and it still did not work. Took it in to a local dealer about 3 years ago and they basically could not find any "problem". Chrysler needs to recall these cars and fix the ongoing issues.
The computer that controls everything including the headlights failed causing all my headlights to go out and blow during night time driving, resulting in a crash.!!!!! This is just as bad as a cars brakes totally failing and should be a recall on these ecu/ECM computers on chryslers immediately as the dealer wants to charge $1000 to fix!!! I see hundreds of people reporting the same problem and there are law suits also from this failure!

While driving on busy road in the rain on 3 different occasions my headlights went out for no apparent reason...I did not realize that they had gone out until I was pulled over by a state trooper and given a ticket...also when my tank reaches 1/2 full the needle will drop to empty and the gas light will come on warning me that I have run out of gas even though I have 1/2 tank of gas in there, almost caused a pile up on the highway...low tire pressure light stays on even when I put air in all 4 tires.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 chrysler pacifica. The contact stated that the headlights failed excessively. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure, nor was the vehicle diagnosed or repaired. The current mileage was 85,000 and the failure mileage was 45,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Headlamps - the headlamps had to be replaced due to light beams not coming through the clear plastic cover. The cover became cloudy and visibility was limited which caused safety concerns. The chrysler dealership tried to clean but was not successful. Tire sensors - a year ago, we had an issue with the message center not responding to the tires. The chrysler dealership installed 1 tire sensor and several months later a new message center panel had to be replaced. A year later, we are replacing the other three sensors. We are told by the chrysler dealership that the batteries only last several years. They claim that these sensors are goverment regulated. Why are we putting parts into american made cars that have to be replaced every several years that cost $100 for each sensor plus labor. Either chrysler needs to produce a better sensor that lasts longer or the government should provide rebates since this is regulatory. These car issues should be considered a safety issue and reviewed for potential liabilities that can cause harm to the driver.
