• 12/23/2014· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE VAN, AS SOON AS I PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION IT WILL IDLE ROUGH, HESITATE, OR DIE ALL TOGETHER. I COULD HAVE 1/2 TANK AND ADD MAYBE 5 GAL OF GAS AND IT WILL DO THE SAME THING. I SAW ONLINE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD THIS ISSUE. IT RANGES FOR DIFFERENT YEARS AND COME TO FIND OUR IT HAS TO DO WITH A VALVE ABOVE THE TANK AND CANT BE REPLACED SINGLY BUT THE WHOLE TANK FOR $1600 PLUS LABOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THIS THING HAS HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING. I CALLED MELLOY DODGE HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE NM AND THEY RIGHT SHOT ME DOWN ABOUT AS QUICK IT TOOK TO DIAL THE PHONE NUMBER. *TR

• 12/16/2004· STEERING

  AFTER APPROX. 15,000 MILES THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING FELT VERY LOOSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE FRONT RACK AND PINION STEERING SYSTEM WAS "WORN OUT" IT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT CHRYSLER HAD PURCHASED THESE PARTS FROM 2 SOURCES AND ONE OF THE SUPPLIERS PARTS WERE WEARING OUT RAPIDLY. THE STEERING SYSTEM WAS REPLACED. AFTER 3 MONTHS AND 6,000 MILES LATER THE STEERING SYSTEM WAS AGAIN WORN OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED A SECOND TIME. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A VEHICLE THAT COST OVER $30,000. *AK

• 12/16/2003· SUSPENSION

  CONSUMER STATED THAT HE PURCHASED A 2004 GRAND DODGE CARAVAN AND IT VIBRATED WHILE DRIVING. HE STATED IT VIBRATED AS IF THE TIRES WERE UNBALANCED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER HAD REMOVED ALL THE TIRES AND HAD REBALANCED THEM, BUT IT DID NOT HELP. HE ALSO STATED THAT A CHRYSLER ENGINEER WAS CALLED IN AND HE WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. HE ALSO STATED HE CALLED THE CHRYSLER MANUFACTURER AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED.

• 12/12/2006· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  REPLACED FRONT BRAKES ON 2004 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN FOR THE FIRST TIME ON 8/31/05 WHEN MILEAGE WAS AT 39,320. ROTORS WERE ALSO RESURFACED AT THIS SAME TIME. ON 4/22/06 AT 46,806 MILES BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, WHICH WERE WORN DOWN METAL TO METAL (IN ONLY 7K MILES). FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE ROTOR WAS BAD, AND HAD TO ALSO BE REPLACED FROM THE FRONT BRAKE PROBLEM. BOTH FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS HAD TO ALSO BE REPLACED AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE ROTORS AND BRAKES. (VERY EXPENSIVE!!) ON 7/6/06 AT 49,179 MILES, THE FRONT BRAKES WERE VERY SHAKY, AND THE FRONT ROTORS WERE SLIGHTLY WARPED, AND HAD TO BE RESURFACED AGAIN. ON 10/17/06 AT 52,762 MILES, ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED AGAIN, SINCE THEY WERE WARPED AGAIN. FRONT BRAKES WERE DONE AGAIN ON THE VEHICLE, A LITTLE OVER 6K MILES FROM THE MOST RECENT BRAKE REPLACEMENT.

REAR BRAKES RE-LINED/REPLACED, REAR DRUMS RESURFACED AND REPLACED SHOES. DEALER STILL CANNOT FIND WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE THAT THE BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED SO FREQUENTLY. *JB

• 12/05/2008· STEERING

  EVERY MORNING THE STEERING GROWLS AND MAKES NOISE UNTIL THE VAN WARMS UP. THE DEALER THAT HAS DONE ALL REPAIRS ON THE VAN SAYS THE RACK IS GOING OUT. I HAVE WATCHED THE FLUID, AND SEE NO LEAKS, NOR HAVE I HAD TO ADD ANY TO IT. IT SEEMS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF GRAND CARAVAN OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY VAN, THAT I LOVE, IS A 2004 WITH 110,000 MILES. I AM GOING TO CHANGE THE RESERVOIR TO SEE IF THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM. BUT I THINK DODGE SHOULD PAY FOR REPAIRS WHEN LOTS OF THEIR VANS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, IT IS CALLED DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. *TR

• 11/30/2010· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  I HAVE AN 04 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHT MODULE. NOW THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SCENTS THE 2000 CARAVANS. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY DODGE???? DO WE HAVE TO WAIT WHEN SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT????? DODGE CLAMS THEY HAVE THE BEST VEHICLES ON THE ROAD???? WELL PROVE IT. THIS IS OWNER 5TH DODGE MINI VAN AND I THINK ITS ARE LAST DODGE EVER. THIS HAS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED ASAP!!! PLEASE RECALL THE HEAD LIGHT MODULE ON ALL DODGE CARAVANS. CANADA AND US. *TR

• 11/26/2007· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  WE HAVE HAD OUR VAN IN FOR SERVICE AND OIL CHANGES IN THE PAST. THE ENGINE HAD LESS THAN 40,000 MILES AND WAS USING ALMOST 4 QUARTS OF OIL IN LESS THAN THREE MONTHS. THE LAST TIME IT WAS SERVICED, THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY REASON WHY IT WAS USING OIL. THEY SAID TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT BY CHECKING IT FREQUENTLY, AND THEY COULD TRY TO MONITOR IT TO SEE WHY WE WERE LOOSING OIL. WE COULD ALWAYS FIND SMALL SPOTS OF OIL IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND ON PARKING AREAS/GARAGE FLOOR. THE DEALER DID CHECK THE VEHICLE AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY OIL LEAKS. THEY DID HOWEVER FIND A LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION LINE, WHICH DID NOT EXPLAIN WHY WE WERE HAVING TO REPLACE OIL ON A REGULAR BASIS. WE HAD JUST PLACED 4 QUARTS OF OIL IN THE VAN TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE VAN WAS TOTALED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT THE NEXT MONTH, SO WE WERE NOT ABLE TO FOLLOW UP ON THE OIL LEAK PROBLEM BUT FELT THAT WE SHOULD REPORT THIS PROBLEM SINCE OTHER DODGE CARAVAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHERE THEY HAVE LOW MILEAGE ON THEIR VEHICLE, AND OIL LOSS FOR NO KNOWN REASON. *TR

• 11/22/2021· AIR BAGSCrash

The contact had been seeking medical assistance. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that her VIN was not included in a recall related to the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.

• 11/17/2007· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  FOR THE LAST 40,000+ MILES THE VEHICLE ALWAYS STUMBLES OR STALLS AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK FULL. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT OVERFILLING, JUST FILLING IT UNTIL THE AUTO SHUT-OFF SHUTS OFF THE FLOW. IT WILL BUCK AND STUMBLE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND OFTEN DIES WHEN YOU ARE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. IT HAS STALLED ON MY WIFE WHILE SHE WAS WAITING TO TURN LEFT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. ONCE RE-STARTED IT RUNS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT FILL-UP. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT IS THE PURGE SOLENOID AND IT WOULD COST $190 TO FIX. THE VEHICLE HAS 92,000 MILES ON IT AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS WELL BELOW THE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY AND IT ALSO HAS THE EXTENDED 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET, BUT JUST AVOID TOPPING OFF THE TANK. THE DATE LISTED BELOW IS ONLY THE MOST RECENT. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LITERALLY DOZENS OF FAILURES OF THIS SORT -- EVERY SINGLE TIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED TO THE AUTO-STOP WITHOUT FAIL. THE SERVICE GUY AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. *TR

• 11/13/2012· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL FUMES WERE EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED A SMALL LEAKAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR RAIL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

• 11/07/2011· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKES SEIZED WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED ON AND WHEN RELEASING FROM PARK. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE HEARD FROM THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE BRAKE WOULD RELEASE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THEY HAD TO SPECIAL ORDER THE PARTS FOR REPAIRS BUT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTACT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

• 11/04/2016· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, WITHIN A FEW MILES THE VEHICLE WILL STALL. DODGE ALREADY HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK OF VEHICLE BUILT AFTER SEPTEMBER 2003 BUT MINE WAS BUILT AUGUST 5 2003 SO IT IS OUTSIDE THEIR WINDOW. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MILES AN HOUR AND I THEN HAVE NO POWER AND NEED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC THAT IS GOING TO RUN ME OVER.

• 10/30/2009· POWER TRAIN

  THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED THREE TIMES. *TR

• 10/28/2013· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  BEGINNING AROUND AUGUST 2012, MY 2004 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN ANNIVERSARY EDITION BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND STALL IF I EVER FILLED THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY. IF I DID NOT CONTINUE TO FEED GAS TO THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. AT STOPLIGHTS I WOULD NEED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND REV THE GAS AND THEN SIT IN PARK UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO MOVE. THIS WOULD CONTINUE FOR APPROX 2-3 MILES. IN SUMMER 2013 IT BEGAN HAPPENING EVEN IF THE CAR WAS NOT FILLED TO CAPACITY. REPAIR SHOPS TELL ME IT'S THE TYPE OF GAS OR THERE IS WATER IN THE GAS LINE, BUT MY RESEARCH TELLS ME THIS IS A KNOWN CARAVAN ISSUE. MY REQUESTS FOR REPAIR INVESTIGATIONS ARE NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY. SO MY SOLUTION IS TO NEVER FILL THE CAR BEYOND 3/4 TANK - SUPER INCONVENIENT. AS A RESULT, THE SPUTTERING DOES NOT HAPPEN AS MUCH ANY MORE, BUT THE SITUATION IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY. I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE ENGINE TO FAIL IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD SIMPLY BECAUSE I'VE GOTTEN FUEL. *TR

• 10/27/2005· STEERING,SUSPENSION

  DT: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT SWAY BAR VIBRATED T CAUSING AN OVERALL ROUGHNESS WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT TOOK VEHICLE TO A DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE SWAY BARS. ALSO, THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING RACK AND UPPER STRUT BEARING. NO FURTHER PROBLEMS SINCE THIS REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. *AK

• 10/26/2007· VISIBILITY,EQUIPMENT

  FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS YEAR A WINDOW HAS EXPLODED ON MY 2004 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT POSTED SPEED, LIGHT TRAFFIC, SUNNY DAY, WINDOWS DOWN, AND POP, THE PASSENGER SLIDER WINDOW SHATTERED. IT LOOKED LIKE IT POPPED FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VAN. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO PULL OVER AND WAS ABLE TO STOP SAFELY. ONCE I STOPPED THE WINDOW JUST FELL OUT. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND WAS ADVISED BY MS. J TO PROCEED TO THE DEALER THAT I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR FROM TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. I WENT TO THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING MORNING, AND THE SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED TO EVEN LOOK AT THE WINDOW. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT THIS YEAR WHERE A WINDOW HAS EXPLODED, AND HE TOLD ME SINCE HE DIDN'T SEE THE FIRST ONE THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. NO DOCUMENTATION, NOT EVEN A DRIVE IN THE CAR. NOW IN ADDITION TO THE PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS, THE VAN HAS A FRONT END PROBLEM, A REAR END PROBLEM, AND A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE FRONT TIRES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE FALLING OFF THE VAN WHILE DRIVING, WHEN TURNING RIGHT THE REAR END FEELS LIKE IT IS TILTING AND THE LEFT TIRE SQUEALS, AND THE CAR SHIFTS IMPROPERLY, OR HESITATES IN TRAFFIC. *TR

• 10/24/2005· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,VISIBILITY

  WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS AND REPEAT PROBLEMS WITH OUR 2004 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND WE GET NO HELP FROM THE DEALER OR THE MANUFACTURER. THE MAIN COMPLAINT THAT IS MOST CONCERNING IS OUR BRAKES AS WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEM 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. WE HAVE TERRIBLE SHAKING, VIBRATION AND GRINDING. THE VEHICLE HAS PULLED TO THE RIGHT FROM THE MOMENT WE PURCHASED IT, I THOUGHT IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL TIMES. COINCIDENTALLY IT IS THE RIGHT SIDE THAT WEARS MORE THAN THEN LEFT. UPON TAKING IT TO AN AAA APPROVED AUTO CENTER AND ASE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CALIPERS HAVE BEEN BINDING AND THE ROTORS WERE TOO THIN TO MACHINE. WE HAVE KEPT THE PARTS THAT THE REPAIR SHOP REMOVED SO THAT THE CONDITION AND WEAR CAN BE DOCUMENTED PHYSICALLY SHOULD A REPRESENTATIVE OF DODGE WISH TO SEE THE ACTUAL PARTS. WE PAID OVER 32,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE 18 MONTHS AGO AND IT CONSISTENTLY UNDER PERFORMS AND AS MENTIONED ABOVE HAS HAD SEVERAL MECHANICAL PROBLEMS BUT THE RELIABILITY OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS MORE THAN INCONVENIENT AND EXPENSIVE, IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I DO NOT TRUST THE DEALERSHIP TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE AND THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER MAINTAIN THAT THIS IS VEHICLE IS PERFORMING AS INTENDED. THEREFORE WE MUST CONCLUDE THAT THE 2004 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IS DESIGNED TO PERFORM POORLY AND BE IN THE SHOP REGULARLY. *NM UPDATED 11/4/2005 - THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASION BUT THEY STILL DON'T WORK. THE SES LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLEWAS TAKEN TOT HE DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND FAULT CODES FOR CYLINDER #3 MISFIRE AND MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE. THE DEALER INSTALLED SPARK PLUGS, REPLACED PLUF WIRES AND FLASHED THE PCM. *NM

  TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING BRAKE FAILURES AND THE BRAKE INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE SPORADICALLY WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR END OF THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL SEND SOMEONE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A TICKET FOR "FAILURE TO KEEP A VEHICLE IN CONTROL". HE WILL CALLTHE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE THE BRAKES HAD TO BE REPAIRED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

• 10/18/2005· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  WE HAVE 2004 GRAND CARAVAN. WE HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHERE THE GAUGES ALL GO OUT, THE DOORS LOCKS OR DON'T WORK AND THE LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN DRIVING, WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT. *NM WE HAVE HAD IT SERVICED FIVE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE, CHANGING THE CONTROL MODULE AS WELL AS CODES AND OTHER ITEMS AND IT IS NOT FIXED AND NOW CONSIDERED AS A "LEMON". THE DEALERSHIP WHICH IS DOING THE SERVICING IS OFFERING US A NEW VEHICLE WITH A STANDARD TRADE IN VALUE. WE FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE AND KNOW OUR STATES LEMON LAWS AS WELL AS I AM IN THE MILITARY AND FIND THIS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY.

• 10/14/2013· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  MY VAN LEFT SMALL FUEL MARKS IN DRIVEWAY, I INVESTIGATED IT PHYSICALLY AND FOUND FUEL TO BE LEAKING BY FUEL PUMP HOUSING NEAR A FUEL LINE, I ASSUMED IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE O-RINGS ON QUICK DISCONNECT LINE. I REPLACED O-RINGS AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND TO MY SURPRISE THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR ISSUES, PEOPLE EXPLAINING HOW THEIR VEHICLES WHERE LEAKING IN THE SAME LOCATION. AFTER BROWSING I FOUND A WEBSITE WHERE THERE WAS A PICTURE SHOWING FRACTURES ON THE HOUSING NEAR THE FUEL LINE THAT I HAD WORKED ON. SURE ENOUGH I RECHECKED MY VEHICLE AND THERE WERE THE FRACTURES. LEAKING FUEL. I JUST WANTED TO POST THIS ON THIS WEBSITE TO INFORM OTHER OWNERS, THAT IF THEY SMELL FUEL FROM THEIR VAN, THEY SHOULD GET THIS ISSUE CHECKED ASAP. THIS IS A REAL HAZARD, AND COULD BE REALLY DANGEROUS. *TR

• 10/08/2007· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  SHORTLY AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, I OFTEN EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY WITH THE VEHICLE. IT SOMETIMES STALLS. IT ACTS UP WITHIN A MINUTE OR TWO BY TRYING TO STALL. I TRY TO GIVE IT AS MUCH GAS AS I CAN AND IT EVENTUALLY STOPS ACTING UP IF IT DOESN'T STALL FIRST. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER, BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE WHOLE GAS TANK SETUP. IT IS NOT REPLACEABLE LIKE MOST FUEL FILTERS ARE. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS THE FUEL FILTER NEEDING TO BE CLEANED. I DO BELIEVE IT IS RUINING MY FUEL PUMP SLOWLY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHEN IT STALLS THAT SOMEONE MAY RUN INTO THE BACK OF ME. *TR

• 10/04/2009· LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

• 09/24/2007· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  I HAD CONTINUALLY ADDED OIL EVERY MONTH STARTING AFTER ABOUT 10,000 MILES. I CHANGED OIL EVERY 3-5,000 MILES. DRIVING BACK FROM UP NORTH AND I HEARD A TICKING NOISE. I HAD CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL BEFORE OUR TRIP ON 8-3-07 AND ADDED 2 QUARTS OF OIL TO BRING IT UP TO FULL. AS WE HAD THE WINDOWS CLOSED AS THE TEMP HAD FALLEN TO CHILLY, I COULD NO LONGER HEAR THE NOISE UNTIL WE WERE WITHIN MILE OF OUR HOME. IT BECAME LOUDER AND AS WE PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY, IT WAS VERY LOUD. I WAS GOING TO BRING IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT THE NEXT DAY, BUT THE VAN WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST DEALER AND THEY LOOKED AT IT THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT CHRYSLER AS THEY WOULD TOO. I DID AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE COVERED DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE. THEY WANTED OIL CHANGE RECORDS AND I DID SOME MYSELF BUT HAD 3 FROM A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THEY WANTED 2 MORE AND I COULD NOT SUPPLY THESE AS I HAD DONE THEM MYSELF. I DID HAVE A RECEIPT FOR THE OIL I ADDED IN LAST JULY, BUT THAT WAS IT. I HAVE ABOUT 37,000-38,000 MILES ON THE VAN. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY FOR THE TEAR DOWN OF THE ENGINE EVEN THOUGH I WAS TOLD THE FIRST WEEK THAT CHRYSLER HAD OK'D THE TEAR DOWN TO FIND THE PROBLEM. NOW THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME AND WANTS ME TO PAY FOR A TEAR DOWN SO THEY CAN LOOK INTO WHY IT BROKE. I TOLD THEM , YOU ALREADY TOLD ME THAT YOU HAD THE OK TO DO THIS AND IT SHOULD BE ALREADY DONE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE VAN WAS ON THE HOIST AND WAS PARTICULARLY DISASSEMBLED. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY FOR THE TEAR DOWN AND A NEW ENGINE THAT WILL COST ALMOST $5,000. I HAVE IT DOCUMENTED ON AT LEAST ONE OIL CHANGE THAT IT HAD USED 2 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN CHANGES. I HAD NO LEAKS BELOW MY VAN SO I WAS UNAWARE THAT THIS ENGINE WAS EATING OIL. OTHER THAN HAVING TO ADD SOME EVERY MONTH. MORE IF YOU NEED IT. *JB

• 09/23/2014· ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  AFTER TAKING ON GAS, ENGINE WILL SOMETIMES STUMBLE AND MOST OF THE TIME QUIT RUNNING. TRIED NOT OVER FILLING IT AND IT STILL WILL JUST DIE SOMETIME AFTER TAKING ON GAS. ON TWO OCCASIONS, IT DID THIS AFTER HITTING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT WOULD SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND YOU HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. IT WOULD NORMALLY START BACK UP AND HAVE NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. BECAUSE OF THIS, WE DON'T FILL UP AND HIT THE ROAD. WE DRIVE AROUND BEFORE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ONCE, IT DIED IN FRONT OF SEVERAL CARS AND A BIG TRUCK HAD TO BRAKE HARD AND SWERVE OFF THE ROAD. SO FAR, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY KNOWN ACCIDENTS BUT FEEL IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH A VALVE IN GAS TANK AND THAT YOU CAN'T BUY THE PART. WE DON'T LOAN OUR VAN TO THE KIDS ANYMORE SINCE MY OLDEST DAUGHTER ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK AND ALMOST GOT HIT WHEN THE VAN LOST POWER. *TR

• 09/19/2014· ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS OR SO, ALMOST EVERY TIME AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE 2004 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN ANNIVERSARY EDITION STALLS. I CAN BE JUST PULLING AWAY FROM THE PUMP WHEN IT HAPPENS, OR STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WITHIN A FEW MINUTES FROM LEAVING THE GAS STATION. YOU CAN FEEL THE CAR 'JUMP' LIKE SOMEONE IS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL QUICKLY AND IT JERKS THE VAN A BIT FORWARD. THEN IT STALLS. IT TAKES A FEW TURNS OF THE KEY AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL VERY QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. I HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE HABIT OF DRIVING THE VAN AROUND A PARKING LOT FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL IT FEELS BACK TO NORMAL BEFORE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, AS I'M CONCERNED IT WILL STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS ONLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. IT CONCERNS ME NOW MORE THAN EVER SINCE MY SON IS LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE AND I WANT HIM TO BE SAFE. *TR

IT WAS AS IF THE ABS WAS INGAGED AND SUDDENLY GRABBED.MY HUSBANDS CAR DID THE SAME THING. SO I THINK IT IS A DAIMLERCHRYSLER ISSUE.

• 09/06/2012· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  FOR A YEAR OR SO MY WIFE AND I COULD SMELL GASOLINE FUMES IN THE GARAGE AT NIGHT. I CHECKED ENGINE GAS FILLER UNDER CAR, BUT WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY SOURCE OF GASOLINE FUMES. FINALLY ABOUT W WEEK AGO THE SMELL OF FUMES WAS STRONGER. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND NOTICED A WET SPOT ON GARAGE FLOOR. I PUT THE CAR ON JACKS CRAWLED UNDER THE CAR AND COULD SEE FUEL OOZING FROM A FITTING ON FUEL LINE THAT WAS CONNECTED TO THE TOP OF THE TANK. THIS FITTING IS SOME SORT OF QUICK DISCONNECT IN WHICH YOU CAN TURN EASILY ON THE WHITE PLASTIC FITTING ON TOP OF THE TANK.

• 08/27/2004· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN SQEAKING AND WHEN I LET OFF OF THEM THEY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE GRABBING. THERE IS ALSO LOTS OF BRAKES DUST ON MY FRONT RIMS. THIS HAS BEEN SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 3/15/04. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERS SAID THE BRAKE NOISE IS NORMAL. THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES ON 3/17 AND SAID THEY WERE FINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK 8/17 BECAUSE OF THE FRONT END PULLING AND ASKED THAT THEY CHECK MY BRAKES AGAIN. THE ROTORS WERE WARPED SO THEY "TURNED THE FRONT ROTORS". I ASKED WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS AND THEY SAID DRIVING WITH 2 FEET OR IT COULD ALSO HAPPEN IF THE ROTORS ARE HOT AND IT STARTS TO RAIN AND COLD WATER HITS THEM. THEY BLAME THE DRIVER. IT ONLY HAD 7539 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT BACK 8/23 BECAUSE I DO NOT HEAR OR FEEL A CHANGE IN THE BRAKES. THEYTEST DROVE IT AND SAID IT WAS NORMAL NOISES THAT I WAS HEARING AND NOTHING IS WRONG.*AK

SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AND THE FRONT TIRES ARE WEARING FAST. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY DID A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. IT IS STILL PULLING AND I TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND THEY CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT AND SAID IT WAS OFF. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT AND THEY DID NOTHING. MEANWHILE MY FRONT TIRES CONTINUE TO WEAR FAST. I HAVE A WARRANTY ON THE TIRES BUT GOODYEAR SAYS IT IS A FACTORY/DEALER PROBLEM CAUSING IT. (IGNORE EQUIPMENT SECTION ON THIS COMPLAINT, IT WAS DONE IN ERROR AND I CAN'T GET RID OF IT). *AK
