1999 Dodge Caravan lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle experienced an electrical defect. While raining interior lights failed. Also, there was a brake problem. While traveling 30-35 MPH brakes were applied, pedal went straight to the floor, and vehicle hit another vehicle in front. Insurance co. Had vehicle towed so that they could inspect the defect.
Seal around windshield is leaking, causing electrical shorts in vehicle. Dealer cannot remedy the problem.*ak the water drops onto the computer control and causes all instruments to work irradically on the dash board. Consumer feels the main controls should be shielded from windshield leaks. Also, the headlights and tail lights went out.
The vehicles head lights shut off completely when the high beams are engaged.
Driver's side window would not go down. It was intermittent. Interior lights would come on, and then they would not come on. Also, while driving in rain rear view mirror would not adjust. Consumer was concerned that headlights might go out while on highway. Please provide any further information.
Headlights, as designed and as checked for alignment by the dealer, are aimed too low and do not cover enough area in front of vehicle for safe operation. Driver has to use high beams in local driving, with constant need to dim for oncoming traffic, where other cars can use only low beams. In country, at highway speeds, even high beams do not illuminate far enough.
Upper brake light on new dodge vehicles flashes when engaged. This is the only manufacturer I've noticed that offers this, and it does draw my eye to it, but as more of a distraction than information. I'd like to see this banned.
At night headlights are not bright enough, affecting visibility when driving at night. Dealer has been contacted.
