2007 Dodge Caliber Lighting Problems

WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS AND THE RADIO LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. AT FIRST THE LIGHTS WOULD BLINK ON AND OFF, NOW THEY DO NOT COME ON AT ALL. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING AT NIGHT. I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SOME DODGE VEHILCLES. I DID A NHTSA SEARCH AND DID NOT FIND A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHETHER IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, ON A STREET OR HIGHWAY

THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CLUSTER LIGHT FLICKER AND SOMETIME NOT WORKING AT ALL. THIS CAUSES A PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND YOU CANT SEE THR SPEEDOMETER OR ANY OF THE OTHER GAUGES..

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE FAILING REPORTEDLY DUE TO FAILURES WITHIN THE TIPM ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE CHARGING 1600 USD FOR THIS REPAIR IN ORDER TO HAVE A SAFE OPERATING CONDITION ON THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT!

I ONLY HAVE ONE HIGH BEAM LIGHT ILLUMINATING. I'VE REPLACED THE BULBS JUST TO MAKE SURE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR.

THIS CAR HAS HAD THE DRIVER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON IN THE DASH FOR MORE THAN 20,000 MILES.I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE "TAKATA AIR BAGS OR NOT. ALSO, THE DRIVER REAR TAILLIGHT HAS FILLED WITH WATER. I HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER OF THIS CAR. NOW THE DASH LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING OFF & ON WHEN LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. THE CALIBER NOW HAS 96,000 MILES ON IT . THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ANSWERS.

WHEN DRIVING ON US.10 IN MI AT 9 PM HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT ALL OTHER LIGHTS WORK NO HIGH OR LOW BEAMS. THE BULBS ARE BOTH GOOD. ALSO THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL BLINKS VERY FAST AS IF THERE WAS A BURNED OUT BULB BUT THERE IS NOT ONE. THIS IS A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. DOESSOMEONE HAVE TO GETKILLED BEFORE A RECALL IS FORCED ON CHRYSLER?

MY FRONT HEAD LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING IT HAS TO TO DO WITH THE FUSE BOX THAT IS LOCATE UNDER THE THE BUMPER ,THAT IT GET WET AND THE SNOW AND SALT THROUGH THE YEARS .I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR DOING THE DAY ONLY .THE FUSE BOX IS CORRODED IT .

ON THIS DATE, MY WIFE AND I NOTICED THE L HEADLIGHT OF OUR 2007 DODGE CALIBER R/T WAS INOPERABLE. ONCE BACK TO OUR HOUSE AFTER A WEEKEND AWAY, I PURCHASED A LIGHT BULB PACK FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE SUPPOSED BURNT OUT BULB. UPON REPLACING THIS ITEM, IT STILL DID NOT OPERATE. I THEN INSTALLED THE 2ND ONE THAT CAME IN THE PACK WITH THE SAME RESULTS. AFTER REINSTALLING THE ORIGINAL BULB, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR POSSIBLE WIRING DIAGRAMS TO HELP WITH TROUBLESHOOTING, BUT INSTEAD, ENCOUNTERED NUMEROUS LIKE PROBLEMS WITH OTHER OWNERS WHOM WITH THE L HEADLIGHT SUDDENLY EXPIRING WITH THE BULB NOT BEING THE ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SOLUTIONS WITH HAVING THE DEALER REBOOT THE COMPUTER, IN WHICH IT ALSO RESETS THE LIGHT MODULE, HOWEVER, DODGE DOES NOT DECLARE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I BEG TO DIFFER, LOOSING A HEADLIGHT, ESPECIALLY THE L/DRIVERS SIDE IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE. LIVING IN NE OHIO DURING THE WINTER TIME AND SNOW STORMS, THIS IS A "SAFETY ISSUE" FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS. WOULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FOR A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. THE BLOGS ON MANY CAR SIGHTS AND EVEN ON ABC15 ARE OVERWHELMING. SINCERELY [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE.

TAKATA RECALL, THE HEADLIGHT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. ONE HEADLIGHT WORKS AND WHEN SWITCHING TO HIGH BEAM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OR THE HEADLIGHT DOES NOT WORK. IT MAYBE, BECAUSE OF THE FUEL BOX GETTING WATER IN IT. BUT WHEN ON HIGHWAY IN MOTION THE STATE PATROL FEELS ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR BEING IN THIS CONDITION

ONE DAY WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICE WHEN I WAS SWITCHING INTO THE LEFT LANE THAT MY FRONT LEFT TURNING LIGHT WAS OUT BUT THE THE SIGNAL ON THE DASHBOARD WAS BLINKING . I GOT HOME PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN CHABGE THE BULB THEN TESTED THE BULB TO SEE WOULD IT WORK IT DIDN'T WORK SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT HE COULDN'T FIND OUT WHAT WAS THE ISSUE. HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE BULB TOO BUT HE FOUND OUT IT WASN'T THE BULB BECAUSE WHEN WE TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE TURNING SIGNAL LIGHT WOULD BE ON BUT WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE SIGNAL IT WOULD NOT BLINK OR WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE HAZARD LIGHTS TOO IT WOULD NOT BLINK .

WAS PULLED OVER FOR DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT OUT. WAS GIVEN A "WARNING". DROVE TO NEAREST PARTS STORE, REPLACED DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT BULB. STILL DID NOT WORK. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSTICS FOUND NO POWER COMING FROM TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) WHICH CAN BE REPLACED AT THE TUNE OF $800. I FIND A HEADLIGHT TO BE IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICE FOR DRIVING ON OUR HIGHWAYS HERE IN AK AS HEADLIGHTS ON AT ALL TIMES IS THE LAW ON MOST ROADS. AFTER RESEARCH THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. EVEN REPLACING THE TIPM FOR $800 DOES NOT INSURE THE PROBLEM STAYS AWAY. THE TIPM FAILED A SECOND TIME THIS APRIL 2015 WITH DRIVERS SIDE LOWBEAM AND PASSENGER SIDE HIGHBEAM. COMPLAINT TO CHRYSLER HAS SHOWN NO RESULTS. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM ONLY WILL NOT WORK. HIGH BEAM WORKS LOW BEAM DOES NOT. *TR

THE TIPM IS BAD, AND APPARENTLY IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. RECALL THEM TO BE FIXED PROPERLY! THANKFULLY, MINE IS ONLY A HEADLIGHT, BUT I'VE READ WHERE ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYTHING GOES AND THE CAR WILL ONLY GO 40 MPH. *JB
