I purchase a 2010 dodge caravan from holt jeep car dealership july 2014 and the headlights flickers on and off while driving and sometimes don't come back on for a while. The lights blinks out at night while driving what can be done because I reported it to them before and they. They told me the next time it does that I should record it or take a picture so I have a small video that I did from my phone to show what I am talking about. I can't even drive my vehicle at night how limited is that.

I opened the window slightly and rain came in which caused the master switch to smoke profusely. Shortly after I realized that the power locks on the master switch no longer were operable due to the incident.

When this incident occurred, I was driving 20 MPH in a school zone and my daughter was in the van with me. All the electrical instrumentation suddenly turned off. The van continued to move forward, but the turn signals, dash instrument panel, windows, locks, etc. All failed to work. I thought a fuse had blown or something. I pulled off the road and parked, but the van would only turn part way off. The motor stopped running, but the key indicated that the motor was still on. The key would not turn counter clockwise, or "off" past the "on" designation marked on the ignition. The key would not release/come out of the ignition. Since I could not get the key out of the ignition, I tried to start the van. It would not start. My husband came out and tried to jump start it, thinking it might be a problem with the battery. This was unsuccessful. I had called a local mechanic from the car, and with his help my husband was able to get the van started. He drove it to the mechanic's shop. The mechanic looked at the "codes" and said it looked like it was under recall. He was able to get the key to release and my husband drove the van to the local dodge dealership. The dealership told him that our van was part of an ignition recall and that dodge would have the parts replaced. We have been waiting more than two weeks now, and still the dealer says the parts are not available. I am afraid to drive the van. I transport my children and children in a carpool. I cannot risk their safety, and I have no car to drive to work. The first week without the van, I borrowed a car. I was on vacation for the next week. I believed dodge would have the parts to fix my van in those two weeks. Dodge has still not fixed my van. If these problems cause a wreck, will the airbags even deploy? It is appalling that dodge expects me to drive my family around in an unsafe vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge grand caravan. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled and the ABS warning light illuminated. The contact had to maneuver to the side of the road to a complete stop. After a minute, the vehicle restarted normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they were not able to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also stated that the failure recurred six other times. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
On multiple occasions the electronic ignition switch has failed to operate. The switch fails to start the engine and the switch will not rotate to the off position (will not turn beyond acc. Position). This is a family van used for many short trips, including starts and stops. Unexpectedly being unable to start the engine, and being unable to turn the vehicle off, remove the key, or lock the vehicle is a serious security issue and a hazard in some situations. A quick look at the internet shows that this is a common problem.

While driving vehicle in a residential area at 20 MPH the vehicle shut off (engine stopped running, lost power steering, lost power brakes and im guessing the air bags). Immediately checked the ignition and observed the key to be securely in the "on" position (it did not move to the accessory position). Was able to immediately restart vehicle. Took vehicle to dodge dealership and they did not find any problem with the ignition. There were no error codes in the vehicle computer. Dealership suggested removing all extra keys/key rings...so did so. Approximately 2 weeks later, with only the car key securely in the ignition (no key rings, etc) again while driving in a residential area at 20 MPH the vehicle shut off (engine stopped running, lost power steering, lost power brakes and im guessing the air bags) and almost ran a stop sign. Immediately checked the ignition and observed the key to be securely in the "on" position (it did not move to the accessory position). This recurring issue is going to result in a death. Dodge needs to address this issue immediately.
Was notified of the electrical problem of the ignition recall. Was notified that the product was on backorder and I am still waiting on the product to have this corrected before anything major could happen. I am very unsatisfied with the local dealership.

Last may 7, 2014, I received a safety recall from chrysler, I visited the dealer and was told that they didn't have the part, and as soon as they will receive it they will let me know. Time pass by and I received a second safety recall, at that time I needed to take my car to the dealer to be repair and asked for the part, they did not have it yet. They disable the rear quarter vent windows to avoid problems. They asked me to call parts dept. To find out when they will have the famous part. Is been 8 months and nothing is been solved. How long do I have to wait? Is that part so difficult to find?

Wife was driving car, was approaching a left turn off the highway into a side street and the engine turned off. She tried starting the car again with the car in park, with the key fob, and it did start again. Prior to this, when starting the car in the garage, several times it would start and turn off immediately. I thought it hadn't gotten enough gas to keep going so I just started it again. It might have been the ignition switch snapping out of the start position at that time as well.
