Headlights on my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan have been intermittent on various occasions. When you turn the switch on, headlights do not always activate. No injuries, no accidents, but could cause a potential accident by not being able to see, or to be seen. Once the problem was recognized, in each instance, by playing with the switch, the lights eventually would come on. First instance was probably in 2007, latest in 2009 on a couple of different occasions.

2006 Dodge Grand Caravan has intermittent issues with headlights not functioning properly (will not turn on, or may go off while driving, or may flicker while driving). These are serious safety issues because it is intermittent and driver can not always tell if lights are out while driving. Car is used frequently and problems occur at least once a day. Dodge service recommended replacing front control module and power distribution module ($900 parts and labor) but could not promise this would correct the issue so no repairs have been made to date.

Occasionally, maybe five or six times in the last year, I would turn the headlights on in my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan and they would not turn on. I could turn them off then on again and they would stay on. Last night, they turned on the first time I tried. I had been on the road approximately one hour when they went out on me. I turned the on/off switch a few times and they came back on. After 3-4 minutes they went off again, so again I turned the switch off and on and they came back on. They went out again and I found they would stay on if I held the high beam lever down. After about 5 minutes I released the high beam lever and the headlights stayed on for the next 20 minutes until I got home. I will not be driving this vehicle again at night until I can get it fixed. The problem is that 99% of the time, the lights operate correctly.
