Our van also experienced melted headlight sockets failure due to a weak soldering from the wire to the socket. Unbelievable that this is not a recall. The dealer's parts department person told me when I ordered the replacement sockets that they sell lots of these sockets. We had intermittent lighting problem on one side, then the other, then total failure of bopth headlights. Please report your experience. This must become a recall. I wanted to file multiple other problems: The tires after complaining of wobbling in the steering wheel for 3 years, the dealer said they are offering replacement tires to owners who complain, but not to all owners, and that was not a recall, I did not keep the brand or model of the tires the dealer removed. With the new good year Eagle tires the van drives fine. That should have been a recall. A third: The lights and led's of the sound system go on and off intermittently.
