Several weeks ago while driving at night the headlights suddenly went out creating a very dangerous situation. When I tried to turn the lights back on they blinked a couple of times and then remained off. Over the next several days the lights would come on sometimes and other times they would not. I changed the light switch but that did not help. I sent the TIPM in to a repair center but they have been unable to identify a problem with it.09

The headlights will go off and stay off unexpectedly while driving at night in the dark. Lights will not go back on for days. Then they will work for a random amount of time, then stop working again while driving in the dark again. You may examine this vehicle if you would like. I think that driving in the dark and the lights unexpectedly going off definitely puts my life and the lives of my family and other drivers at great risk. This problem has been confirmed at my local Firestone auto repair center. Neither the police or the manufacturer have inspected the vehicle yet. The tail lights, the dash lights, everything else works just fine. Neither the headlights or the brights will work. This has been going on for a few months. Why so long? The lights will work for weeks at a time, then unexpectedly shut off and stop working for days. Right now they are not working. I see from doing research on the internet that this seems to be a common problem with these vehicles, and I think that NTSB need to do something about it, like issuing a recall. This is a flawed design!

Headlight switch was turned on and headlights came on then went off. Turned light switch off and then on again and the lights came on and then went out again. This happened about dark time and I was 30 minutes from home. Cannot trust vehicle to drive at night as this has happened several times as I test the switch at home. Contacted dealership and all they could tell me is there is not a recall on this issue. No warning lamps came on. Can only drive during daytime as I cannot trust lights.

The headlights stopped working. They flicker when starting the car, but then shut off. Standard and high-beams are both inoperable. Tried replacing the headlight switch, to no avail. Fog-lights work, which is my only lighting at night. Checked online for a solution. Apparently this is a very common problem in the tipm. Tried a hard reset, but again to no avail. There is no fuse or relay that can be replaced to resolve this issue. This originally began in June, 2020, while I was driving at night the headlights just shut off. The headlights functioned intermittently for a few weeks, and then failed completely. They still flicker once when starting and then go out.

I experienced the following issue which is addressed in a recall however, my vehicle was not included in the recall. I replaced the part, out of pocket, and am attempting to recoup the cost. I took the van to a Dodge/Chrysler dealership and the van showed no codes, etc to indicate the issue. I simply went out on a limb to guess if this was the problem. I have receipts showing purchase for the repair. This should be covered. My family was in danger every time we drove and Chrysler refused to do anything about it!!!! the new win module solved the issue and it has not stalled once since the new one installed!

While driving at night headlights flickered and then went out. After pulling over to sit for about 15 min, lights still didn't work. Couldn't drive at all. Next day tried lights during day time and worked. After 24 hours lights stopped working again. New bulbs are in place, no warning lights came in that lights were not working or a short was noted or an electrical system failure. Car is not throwing any electrical code failures either.

The headlights turned off while driving at night. They would not function if I used the remote to open the doors. They would turn on, then turn off on their own. I tried disconnecting the battery to reset. Worked a couple of times. But tonight it really scares me because they turned off while driving! I got home safely because it happpened close to home in the city.
