Head lights, running lights will only work one at a time. One side on high the other on low. Have read many reports of the same problem for several years of this dodge caravan. Tried changing bulbs, disconnected plug at module worked one time . Find this very frustrating because it is not a new problem with chrysler it has been going on for several years. This is a 02 .
2002 Dodge Grand Caravan lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The tail light cover on the passenger rear blew off as I traveled on a highway. The tail light cover had come loose. When examined the glue appeared to have failed. I thought it was strong enough to hold. I was wrong. Now I have a tail light without a lens so the lights are white when I put on my brakes or turn signal.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the headlights worked intermittently. On two occasions, the headlights went out suddenly without warning. The dealership was informed. Updated 09/13/06.
Since the purchase of this vehicle, I have experienced head light-interior flickering to which the dealer cannot solve.
Driving home at night when the headlights flickered on and off. Turned on the high beams in order to get home. Dealer replaced the front control module.
I have had 2 brief headlight failures (10 seconds or so) and my headlights occasionally flicker or dim. My lightswitch gets very hot when the lights are on for more than 30 minutes.
Headlights on 2002 dodge grand caravan flicker. This happens frequently.
The headlights malfunctioned twice in the past month while on the road at night. Taken to dealer for testing, and results showed that the cause was undetermined.
The headlights turned on and off intermittently, making it difficult to see the road when it iwas dark. Consumer informed the dealer, but the cause was undetermined.
The turn signals will intermittently work in reverse. For example, if I engage the left turn signal, the right dash light will flash along with the right turn signal lights. This reverse process also happens sometimes when I engage the right turn signal.
I purchased our 2002 dodge grand caravan on 4-1-2002 and it was in the shop the first time for the power steering cooler and hoses leaking on 4-25-2002. The dealer fixed it and it was leaking again on 4-29-2002, then 4-30-2002, then 5-2-2002. The weather got warmer so it didn't seem to leak. Then it started getting cold again in the fall and it started leaking again. Seems when the temp drops below 21 degrees, it leaks. Chrysler sent a factory engineer to the dealership to investigate why it couldn't be fixed. He stated that chrysler is having extreme difficulty with the power steering coolers and hoses leaking in the northern part of the country (colder climates.) he also stated that it can not be fixed. This is a dangerous problem that needs to be addressed because if I lose control of my vehicle because of loss of fluid in the power steering system, I could end up in on-coming traffic and cause a horrific accident posssibly resulting in death. After months of them trying to fix it, I finally said enough. I called the factory after trying to talk to the general manager of the dealership, who would not cooperate, and ask them to buy it back. I was offered a new one but refused because they said they are having trouble with all of them. And I don't want to move south to solve this problem. I think there needs to be a recall on these vehicles because of the safety issue. Currently, we are in the buy back mode and hope that someone else doesn't end up with this van because the state of wyoming refuses to brand the title with a remark that it has been a lemon buy back. The transmission cooler lines on the radiator also leaked due to cold weather. The tail lights were falling off and a part was missing from assembly at the factory.
