2008 Dodge Grand Caravan lights complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 48 of 48, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Headlights started with a flickering and random shut off, now no regular headlights but high beam come on for a second when you switch them on but won"t stay on. Multiple attempts to fix at 2 dealerships. Possible problem frount module but no part available nationwide to even try to fix it. Told by dealership used part would mess up "brain" on vehicle so used part not option either.
The headlights will randomly go out. Once in a while switching to high beam will help for a very short time, but usually I am completely without lights when it happens. There is no warning. The running lights do not even work anymore when that happens. I have been in a number of extremely dangerous situations because of this. I end up having to hope I can find a place to pull off the road, without being hit first, and turn the car off and on again until the lights finally work. Nothing else stops working, just the lights. There are so many complaints all over the internet for so many different model years I can't believe this hasn't been recalled yet.
My headlights (both high beam and low beam) will turn off while I am driving at night. It can also happen in the daytime, but I notice it at night. Sometimes they will just go off for a few seconds and sometimes they will turn off and stay off. When they turn off and stay off I have to pull over (which can be hard in the dark with no headlights). Stop the car and turn off the car. Then when I restart the car the headlights will work again at least for awhile. Sometimes this happens several times a night and other times it won't happen for days or even weeks. The problem first started happening about a year ago with approximately 50,000 miles on the car. I have taken it to the dealer, but they can't find a problem.
While driving or parked & turned off with no one near the van, the engine starts, the horn starts blaring, the wipers turn on full blast, the wiper fluid shoots out, and lights wont work! At first, we could disconnect battery or relay & it would stop. The last time, we had to disconnect alternator. This is a major safety issue!
I bought the car on nov. 2008 , new from mccune dodge, and for the last year the car has stall on 4 different times, haven't been able to duplicate the problem at the dealer , no sensor light comes on, also have been having different issues with emergency brake pad, the shift gear , interiors light on center-map lights flicker constantly and rear dome.
I have a 2008 dodge grand caravan with 3.3 v6 engine. I have a headlight malfunction on my minivan. My headlight will flicker on and off while driving on the highway, city streets and sometimes while waiting for a stop sign. This is very dangerous at night when you need your headlight for visibility. Headlight switch has been replaced with a new one but the headlight malfunction has not been solved. My vehicle has 35,600 miles and the first time the malfunction occurred was at 33,100 miles.
Our 2008 grand caravan has been in the dealership for repair 7 times since purchase. The last occurrence almost caused my wife to be in an accident. The turn signals of the vehicle stopped working. Along with that the windows would not function nor would the AC. She had to restart the van twice to get the turn signals working again. While driving to the dealership for service, the vehicle shut off and restarted on its own while in motion. The dealer determined that it was the ignition node and replaced on 6-19-08. We have requested a buy back due to safety issues but have not been granted one at this time.
