2005 Chrysler Pacifica Exterior lighting Problems

“I noticed that low beam headlight on drivers side was out so I replaced bulb still did not work . Then I noticed there was a recall on same headlamp for wiring issue . I punched in my VIN # however it says not on my vehicle . Why do some pacificas from same recall year are not covered and some are ? Thanks for taking time to read this email.”

“Headlight bulbs keep burning out. At least 6 times since 2007. The first time both lamps were replaced even though only one had gone out, the rest of the times they were replace individually and every time sylvania bulbs were used. I feel this constitutes a safety problem and not normal maintenance. Also the drivers door lock mechanism broke in dec. 2009 where the door would not latch close and had to be tied shut the take it for repair. I feel this is also a serious safety failure.”

“Since I purchased my vehicle the front low beam lights have went out numerous times while driving at night. I have had them replaced on several occasions and the problem persists. Recently I have had problems with my battery and was told by pepboys auto shop that something is draining the battery and its possibility is the exterior lighting/headlamps. Even though I continue to replace the headlamps they keep going out and my battery is being drained. After 2 batteries in 3 years I had the alternator checked and it was in good condition. …”

“I currently have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica touring fwd that was purchased on june 28,2008. Since the time of purchase I have had to replace my driver's side headlight bulb 3 times. I have placed a call to the dealer I purchased the car from and also Chrysler's customer service. They tell me that my VIN number does not appear on any recalls that they have. I however, do not understand and have never had a vehicle that has needed a headlight replaced those many times in one year.”

“The headlights intermittently would not work and then stopped working completely. I believe this is due to the wiring harness issue that was recall on many other 05 pacificas under 05v066000. My VIN does not pull up that it was affected in this recall, but I have this and another issue that I submitted a complaint for that should be covered under the recall. The Chrysler company said even though it appears to be the same issue in the recall, since my VIN does not show to be apart of that recall, they will not do anything to help fix the costly issue. I do not know where else to go for help. …”
