2005 dodge grand caravan headlight switch will not turn the lights on. You have to keep turning the switch to make it turn on. As you are going down the road at night the lights will flash or they will just turn off.

The same as so many other complaints. The electric locking system and power side doors stopped working. Car does not lock when reaching speed either. This is a safety hazard. I have a child in the back and cannot be assured doors are locked. I do not have the ability to lock or unlock in case of emergency. Rear door locking is hit or miss. If it's true that the system needs an upgrade why do I have to pay for that? Shouldn't the company that built the defective part have to fix it? Not the first electrical problem I have had. Headlights stopped working while driving multiple times. I replaced the switch, works for now. I also had a defective window motor and switch which had to be replaced.

The headlights and parking lights started to randomly turn on and off. Now the parking lights won't go off and the headlights will not go on. No matter how many times I flip the switch. This is awful and dangerous, as I can't drive at night. The windshield wipers also will not turn on. This is ridiculous and I can't find any help.

Turn signal intermittently fails to work at all. Worse, left signal will be selected, but right signal will be delivered. Sometimes, signal works correctly. Dangerous. Wipers work very unpredicatably, or not at all. Will not come on, then will not go off. Will run very fast or very slow, and won't adjust.

Rear wiper arm will not remain in contact with the back window. When attempting to use the wiper, it makes one pass and then pushes out from the window resulting in the arm being from between 1/4" - 1/2" from the glass. New blades, bending the arm, etc all result in same problem. Work at local auto parts store and have seen this same issue on the 2004 dodge grand caravan. It appears a part is missing in the installation that should keep the wiper assembly in place and depth through the glass. This has been ongoing since ownership. The van is a 2005 dodge grand caravan sxt with 14,447 miles currently. It has not been involved in any accidents and has not otherwise had the rear area damaged, including by human tampering with the assembly. In its current state, the rear wiper arm is useless unless someone rides on the back bumper to continuously push it back into contact with the window glass surface.

My caravan has had numerous electrical problems and is now sitting in my driveway unable to be driven or to sell. Power window and door failure,gauges jumping, radio disconnecting itself, lights turning on and off when no one is in the car, and finally the end result is total power failure (sometimes in the middle of an intersection). Scared for my life and the life of my children I have stopped driving it. I have spent 1600.00 at the dodge dealership only to finally be told they can no longer help me. I have talked to chrysler directly and they stopped calling me back. There is clearly thousands of complaints about similar problems. I am sick over the junk pile I can't remove or replace in this economy. When will chrysler be held accountable?

The power door locks and power windows randomly stopped working on my van. There are numerous complaints about this from 1005 dodge van owners all over the internet. The equipment continues to fail and I have been unable to find a solution.
