Low beam headlights flicker when vehicle is running and after a few minutes go out. This makes it very difficult to drive at night as the headlights will go completely out. Tested with vehicle stationary and in motion on a state maintained lettered roadway.

As I was driving all of a sudden the dashboard and headlights started flickering and the warning icons dinged on. This has continued to occur and the mechanic can not determine the cause of the problem.

Vehicles low beam headlights have gone out multiple times while driving. After replacing them multiple time they have now quit working completely. Previous model years have had the same issue and have had a recall. I think that this is a serious safety issue and should be addressed, regardless of age or mileage. This is obviously a manufacturing defect.

Was driving in the rain and my low beams shut off. The highbeams continued to work as well as my marker lights, and flood lights. I replaced both bulbs and still had no low beams. Everything else works except them. Did research on the internet to learn the 2005 models had a similar issue and there was a recall but the 2006 models are not covered even though it is the same issue.

Sporadically the ABS & brake warning lights come on the dashboard lights come on and the radio cuts out. The main issue is that when all of this happens the headlights also flicker and go out. When driving at night the headlights are very distracting to myself as well as other vehicles on the road. Once I was driving at night and my headlights completely went out for a few seconds. The dealer can't figure out what is causing the issue and there is no specific reason that causes it to happen.

The headlights (low beam only) just stopped working. No warning at all. Checked bulbs and they are fine. I am not getting power to the low beam lights. The high beams work fine along with the signals, horn, flashers, etc.. I know chrysler has a recall on the 2005 models, and can't understand why the 2006 are not included!! It's the same problem.

On march 5, 2012 I was required to pay $95.00 for a full diagnostic to satisfy [xxx] ([xxx] corporate office). The service was rendered by capital chrysler 200 waterfield ridge place, garner nc 27529. The service rep [xxx] and service manager [xxx] informed me that the catalytic converter replacement looked used due to the rust on it and was causing other mechanical failures in my vehicle but would not confirm this in writing. I do not have an extra $1000.25 sitting around to pay for a part that chrysler is well aware of it being defective or used. Chrysler settled a lawsuit in 2005-6 with the u. S. Environmental protection agency for the defective catalytic converter. In closing, as a resolution to this matter I would like all repairs related to this matter replaced at no expense to me by a certified chrysler dealership of my choosing. After viewing the information on the following websites; http://www.daimlerchryslervehicleproblems.com, http://www.epa.gov/compliance/resources/cases/civil/caa/daimlerchrysler-fcsht.html, and http://www.lemonaidcars.com/secretwarranties.html I am even more educated and convinced that my 02 oxygen sensors and catalytic converter were defective initially when I purchased my vehicle and that it was replaced with a used and/or defective by [xxx] chrysler dealership. Listed below are additional issues I have experienced with my car since owning it: 1.second replacement of catalytic converter and 02 oxygen sensors 2.head lights and tail light going out faster than any other car I have owned. 3.humming engine noise, less engine power than it initially had, 4.frequent replacement of the battery 3 times in5 years. Is that normal? 5.sticky gas pedal, it is very hard to push down at times information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I first noticed my headlights flickering and my battery light came on so I took it to the chrysler dealership and they claimed to have done many tests and found nothing wrong, I then continued using my pacifica but only to have the problem not only continue but also to get worse my brake light and ABS lights on my dash started to flicker on and off and then there was chime indicating that there was a problem and I also heard a loud popping noise coming through my stereo but the weird thing is my stereo was off. I since took my pacifica to another chrysler dealership and left it with them and again they claim that there is nothing wrong which again costed me more money for nothing. I again took my pacifica and used it when the problem continued withall the same problems but this time my fuel gauge dropped to empty and my dte distance until empty dropped to zero and my truck shut off as I was merging onto the highway and I nearly got involved into an accident with several vehicles. I am not only concerned about this issue but also for my safety and others on the road. I have agin contacted the dealer and this time I provided a video of the lights and dash lights which included the noise coming through my stereo that I recorder with my iphone they again made an appointment with me to bring my pacifica back in and they made it clear that I would have to pay for their time once agian until they can find the problem and at which time they said the warranty company would cover the costs. My concern is from what I have been reading in these complaint posts is that they will find nothing and I will walk away with empty pockets. *tt..updated 04/18/13

Electrical system failure. . We are experiencing periodic flickering of any electrical equipment that was on (dashboard lights, dome lights, headlights, radio, HVAC) and the intermittent ABS and brake alarms that may follow. We also hear a loud click in the radio speakers. We have taken the car to our local chrysler dealer. They said they could not diagnose because they cant verify the problem and it doesn't leave any computer codes behind. I know we're not the only ones with this issue. There are blogs all over the website about this chrysler issue.

Drivers side headlamp worked intermittantly and then lost power. There is no power leading to the low beam headlamp assy. 2005 models had a recall for this exact problem, but chrysler tells me that my 2006 shows no recalls per my VIN. This is very dangerous that my headlights can fail while driving and cause a crash. Also replacing bulbs will not help this situation because the problem is in the integrated power module (fuse box). So you cannot even drive your car home if this problem happens to you on the road. Very dangerous and a horrible design by chrysler.

I have a 2006 chrysler pacifica with 65000 miles. Exterior headlights and interior dash lights begin to flicker while driving. Also, ABS & brake lights are flickering on and off. This occurs several times daily..especially in the mornings when headlights are in use. I fear headlights will go out permanently and will cause a crash. Have seen several complaints from other consumers.. Why has there not been a recall . Replaced several sensors will not results.
