Driving at 65 mph on interstate, the warning "ding" went off as if a door was open, then the gauges started to sweep erratically, at the same time several dashboard lights flashed on and off. The odometer and prdnl lights flicker, as well as the head lights. It continued to happen going down the road at any given moment. I have noticed that it is more frequent when raining and when I accelerate, pulling on the engine. The headlights, odometer, and prndl flicker at an idle. If it begins the happen, I can stop the van, shut it off, then restart it and this usually solves the problem. I have checked the battery connections, replaced the battery, none of these has resolved this problem. As I have researched this on the internet, I see this as a common problem for 2005 Dodge/Chrysler vans. Some report stalling, which can be a very serious problem. Mine has not done that yet.

Spark plug blew out of engine ripping out the treads shop recommends replacing the head. Because engine caused spark plug to come loose. This is a poor design to have parts work their way out and could be a danger if it hit someone.

Since this past summer our van has demonstrated on multiple occasions flickering of light, cluster gauges, and the radio turns on and off; dangerous as speedometer and fuel gauge become unreadable; researched online and many people having same issue; seems like everyone paying a lot of money to have fixed but problems still persist; this is an issue Chrysler should recall like the headlight switch.

On the interstate I-75 in Tennessee mountains at night, headlights went out while driving with family of 4. quickly attempted to turn on and off the headlight switch which turned the lights back on. My teenager had complained about problems turning the headlights on previously, which I had ignored, stating that she turned the light switch on but the headlamps did not go on but that the yellow side markers did turn on. Have experienced this problem repeatedly over the last few weeks. Chrysler dealer tom ahl in lima Ohio was informed of the issue but would not inspect or service the vehicle without charging an inspection fee, as no recall has been issued for this problem. I declined to pay this and asked them to enter the issue into their service database.

My 2005 Chrysler Town and country minivan gauges have been erratic while driving down the road. My radio turns on and off, my dash gauges are jumping all over the place, my engine light it on and the airbag light stays on. I have taken my car to the dealer several times and they say there is nothing wrong. I even took a video of what it was doing, because they dealer never wants to fix it. They still say it is fine. Now it is stalling out while driving down the road. I am driving this vehicle with my 2 children and the dealer says it is fine!!! when I get in an accident because they say my car is fine, Chrysler is gong to have a major problem.

Headlights will not turn on. Repeated turning off & on of headlight switch (5 to 10 itmes) eventually works. However, using the turn signal lever on the column to hold the brights on does result in brights only - if you hold the lever continuously. NHTSA EA11010 from September of 2011 says defect is being investigated. How much time is needed for a diagnosis?

I have a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country limited minivan, bought new in October 2004. I have had the same electrical issues (headlights brighten and dim, inside lights brighten and dime, radio station changes unexpectedly) since the first 6 months to 1 yr I had the car. (funny, family and friends have all noticed the problem while we are driving without me pointing it out!)! I allowed my dealer too correct the problems each time. They assured me that they were doing all they could, but have had a terrible time duplicating the issues. My car has been in the shop too many times to count, up to 3 weeks+ at a time. I am always given a loaner and the dealer service is great, but I would just like a car that works. I have 3 boys ages 13,10 & 8. my 10 & 8 yr are severely autistic. Buying a new car is just not an option. The lemon laws don't apply because of the age of the car, even though the problems have started within the first year. Chrysler corporate has been no help (the area rep inferred that I was a liar). They "graciously" offered me another year on my 7yr/70,000 mile warranty. When I used service under this new warranty the deductible rose by $50. The dealership owner nor myself had any idea that there would be an increase. They just told us that coverage would extend another year beyond the original expiration date. My husband and I bought Chrysler for the name and because we thought they would stand behind their product. Boy were we duped. We spent over $32,000 for a car that we would drive for many years. Here we are 7 years and 65,000 miles later and my car is in the shop almost monthly! please help, all I want is a car that I can drive with confidence. At this point all the electrical has been replaced and we still have issues! thanks for listening,

Loss of headlights while traveling 70mph. High beams worked only if lever was held down, and I had to drive like this for an hour. Over the past 2-3 years the headlights would intermittently flicker or turn off, but I could usually resolve the problem by toggling the headlights off and on several times. This would occur periodically, with several months in between incidents. In may and June of this year, the problem began to occur more frequently, with complete loss of headlights finally occurring. My mechanic replaced the front headlight control module 6-15-12 and the headlights operated fine until this past week- 7-11-12, when the headlights began to flicker again and went out while driving only 5mph in parking garage. Toggling the on/off switch corrected the problem and headlights came on.

This vehicle started with the dash board lights flickering, odometer, gas gauges, and radio going haywire. Just recently it has shut off while driving down the road with my wife and four children, this has happened a total of three times in the middle of a street and in intersections. I have taken vehicle to a Dodge dealer, ran electrical diagnosis test and nothing shows up. They re-solder the cable and it went away for a day, the symptoms resumed. I have replaced battery twice, fixes systems for a day, then goes back to flickering and shutting off. I recently took to a auto electrics spec. At $70 per hour, they found it likely be the battery or BCM. They replaced battery, nothing changed. Auto electrics spec. Said he wanted to change BCM, but said he can't guarantee that will fix it because of the research online. If you look up 2005 Chrysler Town and country dash board flickering on youtube or any general search. Lots of others are dealing with this issue. Problem is, no one has a fix. Many have spent hundreds to thousands of dollars on batteries, computers, alternators, and other attempts at fixing but nothing is working. I have contacted my local Chrysler dealership, but they want to charge $90. Per hour, to look it over. I cannot afford to put anymore money into guessing. Chrysler needs to take a serious look into this before a fatality happens. This is happening to several people, please look it up. Thank you

Headlights will sometimes will not turn on until tried several times. This week, while driving about 38 mph, the headlights flashed on/off rapidly 3 times then remained off until I cycled the switch several times. No more occurrences that evening or for 4 more days, then tonight after driving about 5 miles home, I decided to try the switch and found that only about 1 out of 5 tries were successful in getting the headlights to turn on. The serious concern is when the headlights flash and then turn off while I am driving and will not immediately turn on.

My 2005 Chrysler Town & Country has had the headlights fail several times. High beams worked by holding them in the on position, if I tried to turn them on they would go out. After flipping the switch a number of times I got the lights back on. We just lost lights again last night and were able to get them on after flipping the switch a number of times.

I had two Chrysler products, (one minivan and one Ram pickup), with the same concern within a matter of weeks. When turning on the left turn signal, the outside right turn signal flashes. I own a service repair shop and checked my "identifix" data base and see this is a common issue with Chrysler products. The multifunction switch is bad causing this concern.
