“My lights flicker on and off, replaced battery and alternator.. Not fixed.. Now I have been noticing that the panel behind my headlight switch gets very hot to the touch. Afraid of a fire... Can't find any info on internet as to what can be the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10481211, filed 2012-10, 74,000 miles“A one week ago, my left turn signal would not shut off after making a left turn. I have to shut it off manually. Within a couple of days it started making a clicking noise before I could get it in to be fixed. Tonight I was driving the car, making a left turn and as the steering wheel was returning to the straight position (before the wheels were straight) it locked in a left turn position and would not release. The car kept turning to the left and I had to force the steering wheel to the right. …”
NHTSA complaint #10182159, filed 2007-02, 49,200 miles“Dt: contact stated the headlights were not working properly. They intermittently shut off while driving.

NHTSA complaint #10109392, filed 2005-03, 40,000 miles“Town and country 2002 has headlights that flicker and go off while the minivan is moving. Nhtsa was investigating this in 2005 (associated press, 2.07.2005) and was talking to dailmlerchrysler about this. Traveling in the winter, and the early evening the lights went off suddenly. I was able to flick the switch on the column and make them come back on. Took it in for service, but no error codes were found. Now last week, traveling at 70 MPH, the lights went off numerous times. They do not go off when raining and lights are required during the day; it seems to occur only at high speeds. …”
