PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG EXPLODED. LUCKILY NO INJURY. VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT COULD DO THAT! I'D LIKE THIS FIXED. ALSO, TWO LEAKS IN ENGINE. OIL LEAK/TRANSMISSION LEAK. IS THIS NORMAL? LEAKS ARE ONGOING. ANOTHER THING: NOTICING HEADLIGHTS GETTING SLIGHTLY DIMMER, THEN BRIGHTER, AT NIGHT AS IF SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM? THIS HAPPENS DURING DRIVING AND NOT DRIVING.

CURRENTLY HAVE ABOUT 86,000 ON THE VEHICLE. THE HEADLIGHTS, MORE AND MORE, ARE DECIDING TO REFUSE TO TURN ON. THERE IS NO DARKNESS INDICATOR, JUST AN OLD-FASHIONED TURN KNOB WITH THREE SETTINGS (OFF, PARKING LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS). ALSO, THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN WORKING, DECIDE TO NOT SWITCH OFF WHEN THE KNOB IS TURNED TO OFF. THIS IS INTERMITTENT AND, SO FAR, MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I SEE FROM OTHER SITES THAT MANY, MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITH THESE MINIVANS AND EVENTUALLY, IF NOT ALREADY, SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE WHEN THESE LIGHTS CUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. *TR

I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY RIGHT FRONT WINDOW NOT ROLLING DOWN. THEN HEAD LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FIRST NEGATIVE THEN POSITIVE REMOVED ECM AND CLEANED ALL PINS ON ECM AND THE SOCKET IT PLUGS INTO USING ELECTRONIC PARTS CLEANER. I WAITED FOR THE SOCKET AND PINS TO DRY BEFORE REPLACING THE ECM AND RECONNECTING THE POWER. PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF FOR A WHILE. NOW ALL PROBLEMS CAME BACK AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR A WEEK NOW ALL PROBLEMS CAME BACK AND VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ECM'S MADE FOR THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND NO RECALLS. I BELIEVE THAT THE ECM IS CAUSING MANY PROBLEMS SINCE ALL 3 ISSUES ARE CONTROLLED BY THE ECM UNIT. *TR

MOST TIMES, WHEN I TRY TO TURN ON MY HEADLAMPS AT NIGHT THEY DO NOT TURN ON WHEN I TURN THE SWITCH. IT USUALLY TAKES ME ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 20 TURNS TO GET THE HEADLAMPS TO TURN ON AND SOMETIMES THEY WILL COME ON ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN TURN BACK OFF. OFTEN, WHILE I AM IN MOTION AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL SIMPLY TURN OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON BUT I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN THE ALTERNATOR OR FANS START OR WHEN I AM AT A LOW RPM AND THEN I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TRY TO GET THE LIGHTS BACK ON. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND ALL SWITCHES ARE OFF, THE LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. I HAVE TRIED TO LOCATE A FUSE AND/OR RELAY SEVERAL TIMES BUT DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO FIND THOSE... THEY ARE NOT IN THE FUSE RELAY CENTER UNDER THE HOOD. THIS PROBLEM ONLY EFFECTS THE HEADLAMPS, THE TAIL LIGHTS, FRONT MARKER LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND TURN SIGNALS ALL WORK FINE I HAVE ALSO FOUND NUMEROUS POSTS ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

'I HAVE A 2006 GRAND CARAVAN SXT. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED 2 GRAND CARAVANS AND 1 TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE REAR RIGHT SIDE DOOR LOCK DOES NOT GO UP OR DOWN UNLESS I MANUALLY PULL IT UP OR DOWN.. THE DOOR DOES 'CLICK' WHEN I HIT THE KEY REMOTE OR OVERHEAD BUTTON, BUT THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. IF I PULL THE DOOR THE KNOB UP MANUALLY, THE KEY REMOTE OR OVERHEAD WILL ALLOW THE DOOR TO OPEN AND CLOSE. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND THE REPAIR FORUM INDICATED THAT HUNDREDS OF THE SAME SITUATION EXISTED WITH THE GRAND CARAVAN. NO RECALL EXISTED, BUT THIS CERTAINLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN WITH THIS SAFETY MALFUNCTION. I WAS ADVISED TO REMOVE THE OID FUSE AND REMOVE THE BATTERY CABLE. WHILE THIS WORKED IN A MAJORITY OF CASES, IT DID NOT WORK FOR ME. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE THE BCM OR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR OR DOOR HARNESS. IF THE 'HARNESS' WAS BROKEN WOULD THE DOOR BE ABLE TO CLOSE OR OPEN? I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT THIS COULD COST BETWEEN $80.00 AND $500.00. SEEMS LIKE A LARGE 'SPREAD OF COST' TO ME. CERTAINLY NOT ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO THAT IF THEY FIND IT TO BE A FUSE, THEY'LL CHARGE THE TOP PRICE FOR REPAIR. I HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH DEALERS BEFORE'. *TR

I OWN A 2006 DODGE CARAVAN AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICED A PROBLEM WHEN I USE MY TURN SIGNALS. SOMETIMES THEY WORK FINE, SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL, AND SOMETIMES THE OPPOSITE BLINKER WILL TURN ON (EX: I USE THE RIGHT BLINKER BUT THE LEFT BLINKER COME ON AND VISE VERSA). THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING PRETTY MUCH EVERYDAY SINCE IT FIRST STARTED. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO WHEN I STARTED THE CAR I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT ON THE DASH STAYED LIT. THIS WAS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MEANS THE AIRBAG IS MALFUNCTIONING AND WON'T WORK IN AN ACCIDENT. I DECIDED TO DO SOME ONLINE SEARCHING FOR THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE DODGE CARAVANS AND REALIZED THAT HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS I AM HAVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THIS IS PRIMARILY MY WIFE'S CAR IN WHICH WE CARRY OUR 3 CHILDREN. FROM WHAT I HEAR FROM OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES IS THAT THIS IS RELATED TO A WIND SHIELD WIPER PROBLEM AS WELL. THIS HAS NOT YET HAPPENED TO MY CAR BUT I AM SURE IT WILL PROBABLY START SOON. IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CARAVAN; IT TOO SHUT DOWN ON ME WHILE GOING DOWN THE HWY AT 70MPH AND ALL THREE OF MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE VAN. THANK THE LORD THAT NO ONE WAS HURT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT MY VAN HAD EVER DONE THIS BUT WAS NOT THE LAST; THIS VAN HAD SHUT DOWN ON ME A COUPLE MORE TIMES. I TOOK THE VAN TO A LOCAL SHOP, BUT NEVER FOUND OUT ANYTHING. I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE THE HEAT OF THE SOUTH TEXAS WEATHER, BUT I THOUGHT CARS WERE MADE TO WITHSTAND ALL WEATHER. THEN IT STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES; LIKE THE LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, REALLY AT ANY TIME WITH NO KEYS IN IT, THE WIPERS WOULD COME ON WHEN I DIDN'T NEED THEM TO OR WOULD NOT COME ON IN THE RAIN WERE I NEEDED IT THE MOST, THE DOME LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT, OR WHILE TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL THE DOME LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND NOT GO OFF. I NO LONGER CAN DRIVE THE VAN, BECAUSE IT STARTED FIRE CHRISTMAS MORNING WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, WE WERE GETTING READY TO GO OUT OF TOWN. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS WERE THE VAN SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING OR THE DRIVER SMELT OR SEEN SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE DASH NEAR THE FUSE BOX. THERE WAS ONE THAT THE GUY CALLED TRIPLE A AFTER HIS CAR SHUT DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE AND STARTED SMOKING UNDER THE DASH. THERE IS ABOUT 3-4 DZ LISTING WERE THEIR VAN HAD WHAT THEY CALLED KINDRED SPIRITS LIGHT, RADIO, DOOR LOCKS YOU NAME IT GOING ON & OFF. A 2006 CARAVAN LIKE MINE IN FORT LEWIS, WA TOTALLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING & REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR. THERE IS A WEBSITE THAT HAS STEPS TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN A DODGE CARAVAN, THREE ARE CHECK YOUR GROUND CONNECTION & TWO OF THOSE IS IF YOU LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING.
