AM I ALONE IN THIS PROBLEM, ALSO, I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE VAN FOR AIRBAG PROBLEM - IT ALSO LISTED ON THE FORM IN VERY SMALL PRINT THAT THE REAR WIPER MAY ALSO HAVE TO BE SERVICED/REPLACED AT THEIR DISCRETION I BELIEVE. AFTER GETTING SERVICE FOR THIS THE WIPER BLOWS FUSES AS BEFORE DISABLING THE WIPER AND ALSO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WHAT RECOURSE IF ANY DO I HAVE WHEN THEY SAY THE WIPER IS DOING THIS BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T CLEAR OFF THE REAR WINDOWS PROPERLY??? THANX FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. *AK

THE LOWER REVERSE GEAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE. WOULD BE SLUGGISH & HARD TO SHIFT. WOULD HAVE NO PRIOR WARNING OF PROBLEM. SHUT VEHICLE OFF & THEN RESTARTED. WORKED FINE UNTILL IT WAS SHIFTED A FEW TIMES. THEN WENT BACK INTO LIMP MODE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP & WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, RESULTING IN MINOR INJURIES. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS COMMON IN THIS YEAR MODEL OF THE DODGE CARAVAN. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE THAT A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILES, AND REGULAR MAINTENCE WOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALREADY. PLEASE CONTACT US WITH YOUR SUGGESTIONS. *AK

TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING FLUID SINCE PURCHASE FROM AXLE SEAL TRANSFER CASE. FRONT RIGHT STRUT ASSEMBLY MAKES EXSTREME NOISES OVER BUMPS AND SHARP CURVES. ENGINE HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK. LEFT DRIVER SIDE DOOR CAN NOT BE OPENED WITH KEY. SUSPECT FLOOD DAMAGE DUE TO A REOCCURRING ODOR FROM HEATER VENTS. WE HAVE CONTACTED DEALER MORE THAN THREE TIMES AND WERE GIVEN A "DODGE" ! DEALER HAS CHANGED THE BUISNESS NAME AND STATES HAS NO LONGER AN OBLIGATION TO HONOR THESE PROBLEMS WHICH WE ENCOUNTERED UNDER WARRANTY! ALSO, AIR CONDITION UNIT HAS BEEN LEAKING AND WAS SERVICED UNDER WARRENTY AND REMAINS A PROBLEM. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER ITEMS TOO LONG TO LIST. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS VEHICLE IS FAILING RAPIDLY MECHANICALLY! I FEEL STRONGLY THAT I HAVE BEEN "RIPPED OFF!" BY THIS DEALER AND AM IN NEED OF SOME SORT OF SOLUTION!. *AK

WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE AUTO CUTS OFF, BUT WHEN PLACED IN NEUTRAL IT WILL START AGAIN. *AK
