What owners wrote
On 6/5/14 while driving down the hwy at 65MPH a deer had bolted out in front of my 02 caravan. I had reaction time with hitting my brakes until my brake light illuminated & my van continues sliding on dry pavement, I attempted hitting my horn but noticed the section of the steering wheel that the horn iss located was rock hard & could not be pushed in even the slightest.
The headlights flickers; once they went out completely for about five seconds. This has occurred about 20 times since november 2004. There is no time pattern as to when the headlights would go off. The dealer knows that the headlight switch is the problem. The manufacturer told the dealer that they have a back order of over 800 switches and that no one is making the switches.
