2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Exterior Lighting Problems

DRIVER FRONT TURN SIGNAL QUIT WORKING. DRIVER REAR STILL WORKS IT IS NOT THE BULB NO SIGNS OF BROKEN OR BURNT WIRES. CHECKING WEB SITES A LOT OF OWNERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM. NO ONE HAS REASON FOR PROBLEM YET. WHEN USING TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR FLASHES REAL FAST LIKE A BULB BURNED OUT. *TR

WHY IS THE AUTOMOTIVE MAKERS ALLOWED TO PUT OUT CAR WITH HEADLIGHT LENSES THAT CLOUD UP AFTER 6-7 YEARS. THIS REDUCES VISABILITY AND COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.

ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS, ABS, BRAKE, INTERIOR LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLICKERING FOR A SOLID 3 DAYS. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A NON-LIT STRETCH OF ROAD WHEN ALL MY LIGHTS WENT OUT, INSIDE AND OUT WITH A CAR APPROACHING FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION. I TRIED TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS AND THEY WERE OUT TOO. I HAD MY CHILDREN AND HAD TO PULL OVER. I HAVE READ REVIEWS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS YET NO RECALL? WHY? THIS IS SO DANGEROUS! THIS IS MY MAIN VEHICLE I DRIVE FOR WORK AND WITH MY FAMILY. I KNOW AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT AND WHAT PEOPLE HAVE STATED ITS HARD AND EXPENSIVE TO FIX! *TR

2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 16000 MILES AND HAVE HAD IT 6 YEARS NOW. THE LAST 3-4 YEARS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH CONSTANTLY REPLACING HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS, APPROXIMATELY EVERY 6 MONTHS. NOW RECENTLY, BEGINNING SEPT. 2014, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR RUNNING LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON. THE BREAK LIGHT IS FINE AND THE PARKING LIGHT IS FINE, BUT NO RUNNING LIGHT. I KNOW IT IS NOT THE BULB, BECAUSE I USED THE BULB THAT WAS WORKING ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND IT STILL DID NOT WORK. TOOK IT IN TO A LOCAL DEALER ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND THEY BASICALLY COULD NOT FIND ANY "PROBLEM". CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE ONGOING ISSUES. *TR

THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED CAUSING ALL MY HEADLIGHTS TO GO OUT AND BLOW DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING, RESULTING IN A CRASH.!!!!! THIS IS JUST AS BAD AS A CARS BRAKES TOTALLY FAILING AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE ECU/ECM COMPUTERS ON CHRYSLERS IMMEDIATELY AS THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE $1000 TO FIX!!! I SEE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE ARE LAW SUITS ALSO FROM THIS FAILURE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY FAILED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,695. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY ROAD IN THE RAIN ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON...I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THEY HAD GONE OUT UNTIL I WAS PULLED OVER BY A STATE TROOPER AND GIVEN A TICKET...ALSO WHEN MY TANK REACHES 1/2 FULL THE NEEDLE WILL DROP TO EMPTY AND THE GAS LIGHT WILL COME ON WARNING ME THAT I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH I HAVE 1/2 TANK OF GAS IN THERE, ALMOST CAUSED A PILE UP ON THE HIGHWAY...LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN I PUT AIR IN ALL 4 TIRES. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED EXCESSIVELY. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, NOR WAS THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

HEADLAMP 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FAILURE (THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM ON 2005 MODEL ) THE RIGHT SIDE FAILED IN 2004 BUT WAS REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER NOW THE LEFT SIDE FAILED THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A NEGATIVE DRIVER OUTCOME (CRASH). *TR

OWN SINCE NEW 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA , (MFG.: FEB 2004). ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED WITH H7 HALOGEN LOW & HIGH BEAMS. ON NOV. 16, 2008, REPLACED LOW-BEAM H7 BULBS WITH 35W DDM HID KITS (HTTP://WWW.DDMTUNING.COM/PRODUCTS/DDM_35W_55W_SLIM_BALLAST_HID_KIT-101-60.HTML). HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUCCESSFULLY (FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS) USING A SIMILAR PAIR IN MY 1987 MERCEDES 300SDL, (9004 BULB FORM FACTOR WITH HIGH/LOW BEAM ELECROMAGNETOMECHANICAL ACTUATORS). ISSUE IS NOT WITH DDM UPGRADES BUT WITH THE PACIFICA! ONLY UPON ROUGHLY BELOW 60F AMBIENT TEMP. AND AFTER LIGHTS HAVE RUN FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEY RECYCLE (I.E. FLASH OFF AND BACK ON), MOSTLY BOTH AT ONCE WHEN: A) STARTING FROM INITIAL STANDSTILL AFTER BOARDING AND THE POWER LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY ACTUATE TO CLOSE THE VEHICLE. B) SOMETIMES WHEN VEHICLE STARTS FROM STANDSTILL, EVEN WITHOUT POWER LOCKS ACTUATING. C) SOMETIMES WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE (E.G. GETTING OUT OF A PARKING). ISSUE NEVER OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE CRUISES, REGARDLESS OF ROAD...
