Lights go out when the rain gets up under the car from splashing on the road. You have to pull over to the side of the road, turn it off and turn it back on several times and it stays on for a short time. Procedure is repeated again. Only in rainy weather and oregon gets a lot of sporadic rain. Also, the ignition tends to turn the airbag lights on and off whenever I turn a corner left or right of hit a bump.

I am having a intermittent issue with my headlights, they are shuting off while driving and although crysler has a lifetime warranty on the head light swithch for this exact issue my vehicle VIN is not included in this warranty. This is dangerous and should be a recall as people could be in danger of crashing if this happens and they are unable to see.

This vehicle has a stalk on the steering column that controls the windshield washer, wiper, as well as the vehicle bright lights, and the turning signals. Around may. 2014 the washer began working intermittently. Sometimes it would work, sometimes not. Wiggling the stalk would sometimes make it work. By pulling the stalk toward the driver, the bright lights are suppose to come on temporarily, until released. They stopped working, also about may, 2014. It is still working intermittently, but now the turning signals are also affected, working intermittently, or even putting on the left turn signal, when the switch is turned for a right turn, or right for left. I am afraid that this switch is defective, and can cause an accident if it does not work reliably.

The parking lights turn on and off randomly when the vehicle is off. When the vehicle is running, the parking lights don't operate properly using the light switch--e.g. The parking lights stay on when turned off. Cycling the switch several times can turn the parking lights off. Our car was manufactured late in december 2005 according to dodge. This appears to be related to the federal safety agency action # ea11010. Dodge has refused to cover the headlight switch assembly (hsa) under what should be a lifetime warranty. The hsa has been replaced at owners expense and the problem appears to be fixed. We saved the defective part.

Vehicle headlights intermittently turn off even though the headlight switch is in the on position. Headlights are able to be turned back on by cycling the switch off and on multiple times. Sometimes headlights flicker on and off intermittently even though the headlight switch remains in the on position. This has been a problem according to a previous investigation by your organization. The investigation number ea11010. Your findings showed this problem occurring with this particular make model and year of vehicle. It also indicated that chrysler corporation was going to initiate a lifetime warranty on the headlight switch assembly for this particular vehicle. It indicated that this was going to start sometime in early 2013. I contacted chrysler corporation service and they indicate that there is no warranty or known problem on that particular headlight switch assembly. When I referred them to your site and the particular investigation and conclusion in regards to this issue they indicated that this was not a known problem and just because it was on the internet does not mean that is true. The identified issue and problem with the headlight switch assembly will not be taken care of under warranty according to chrysler corporation. This seems to be in direct conflict with what chrysler corporation told your organization that they were going to do which was to place this part under a lifetime warranty beginning sometime early 2013.

My sliding door quit working half way thru cycle. My power went dead in doors and locks I took it to the dodge dealer they could not find the problem said it was either the ECM or the bcm but not sure. They did not want to replace as they would just burn out again if this was the problem and still a short somewhere it was safe to drive. I drove it home and next day went to start it and the main wiring harness under the battery and above the drivers side wheel well burst into flames burning the entire main electrical harness and ECM and fuse box up. Took it by tow truck to dodge dealer again they said looks like wiring harness was worn through where it was fastened to the frame at the assembly plant. Called dodge and they said this has happened before suppose to send an inspector and no one showed up it has been over a week and no help from dodge or the dealer who told me it was safe to drive. I received a letter from chrysler stating it was not a manufacturer defect yeah right!!

The headlights function intermittently with the switch and also turn off intermittently while driving even though the headlight switch remains on. Turning the switch on and off multiple times sometimes will cause the headlights to turn back on but not always. Sometimes the headlights will turn back on by themselves.
