Dash lights and back up lights stopped working completely airbag error light sometimes its on , sometimes not. Attempted to purchase rebuilt body control module, but was informed it is illegal to sell one. When you cannot repair or replace a part, it seems like the manufacturer should be obligated to recall and replace this part when defective, which, investigation shows to be common problem. I cannot pass inspection with inoperable back up lights and if airbag light is on, but cannot buy replacement part. It sucks to own a disposable vehicle.

Vehicles headlights intermittently will not turn on. There have been multiple times when the lights worked fine when leaving the house and then would not turn on when leaving to return home. This has caused us to drive home on multiple occasion with no headlights, obviously a very dangerous situation. We have taken it to multiple mechanics and have not had anyone find a problem, they always seem to work when we take it in. We replaced the switch to no avail. We simply do not drive it when we think we will be out after dark. There seems to be a lot of other people with this same problem online, please make dodge find and fix this problem.

We have a dodge grand caravan with electric side doors. The motors mechanism has stopped the ability for my daughters to be able to open them manually. If we were in an accident I am afraid that they would not be able to open them to get out. When the van was under warranty dodge replaced one that was not as bad as they both are now.

We have 2004 grand caravan. We have an electrical issue where the gauges all go out, the doors locks or don't work and the lights stay on when driving, whenever it feels like it. *nm we have had it serviced five times for this issue, changing the control module as well as codes and other items and it is not fixed and now considered as a "lemon". The dealership which is doing the servicing is offering us a new vehicle with a standard trade in value. We find this unacceptable and know our states lemon laws as well as I am in the military and find this a safety issue for my family.
