Consumer Description

STARTING IN SEPT THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY VAN WOULD TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES PERIODICALLY. I LOOKED UP INFORMATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE COMPLAINTS THAT THIS HAPPENS BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. THIS ISSUE IS GETTING TO BE MUCH MORE FREQUENT AND FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. TONIGHT I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND IT IS ONLY 12.4 MILES TO MY JOB AND MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT 15 TIMES!!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!! WE DRIVE OUR 3 KIDS TO SCHOOL ON RURAL ROADS AT 5:30 IN THE MORNINGS. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS WITH THEM IN THE CAR??? THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP AND DODGE NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR PRODUCT. MOST PEOPLE BUY MINI VANS BECAUSE THEY HAVE KIDS SO WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN TURNED INTO A RECALL YEARS AGO? YOU CAN'T EXPECT PEOPLE TO RISK THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS OVER AN ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY DODGE'S RESPONSIBILITY. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND IF THERE IS ANY OTHER STEPS THAT I CAN TAKE TO HOLD DODGE RESPONSIBLE. *TR
