Mysteriously my headlights stopped working last night. Had to drive home in the dark which was very dangerous. As well as my windshield washer fluid pump will not turn on. This seems to be a recurring problem with this make and year. Why hasn't dodge done a recall it seems to be the problem is far too widespread and common in these vans. *Tr

Closed all doors using the key fob and went to church. The rear sliding passenger door would not open with the key fob. Got inside the vehicle and you can not manually pull the lever up. This is a safety hazard. It appears the passenger door is beginning to malfunction also. Key fob won't open it, but you can open manually. Tires wear out quickly in the front. I also lost a tail light on the highway. It just separated from the vehicle. I have noticed the same thing beginning to happen to the other tail light. Dodge is making a killing on these. They are approximately 113 dollars!!! Now my air conditioner has cold air , but not blowing. *Tr

Lights

Brake lights remain lit after brake pedal is released, and remain on until the vehicle is turned off. Appears to be related to the center brake lamp bulb being burned out. I was nearly struck from behind since there was no change in the lighting when I depressed the brake pedal. *Tr
