My suspension bottoms out on me no matter where I am at. My front seats will not move back and forth at due to the handle mechanism breaking. My headlight assemblies do not put out the right beam of light the it needs to be able to see properly at night. I need your help in this matter please.

While driving the vehicle, the instrument panel shuts off without warning and for no known reason. Dodge told us that it was a short in the wiring in the dash that caused the computer to shut down. The technicians insisted that the problem would be impossible to find, especially since it could not be replicated on demand. This has continued to happen periodically, most recently in January 2014, when the computer went out, shutting down the instrument panel and the wheels on the passenger side of the vehicle. The driver's side continued forward, which pushed the vehicle into a curb, flattening two tires and damaging those respective rims. Although no one was injured, had there been a vehicle next to the van, as opposed to a high curb, the defect in the vehicles wiring and computer would have caused a collision. There is never any warning prior to the electrical and instrument panel going out. There is no known trigger that causes this problem. It is not triggered by going over a bump, driving at any particular speed, stopping or accelerating. I wanted to report this, because a witness (who happened to be a police officer) to the most recent incident advised us that this is a known and common issue in Dodge Caravan built in the late 1990S/early 2000S.

My 1999 Dodge Caravan has plastic headlights covers. The left side is so bad it has reduced the out put by half. I had a accident that caused the right plastic on to be replaced. So I believe any one who has not replaced these expensive covers has lost there out put of these & not know it because they can not compare it against a good one.
