I HAD PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE SXT CARAVAN,THE END OF SEPT, 2006. IN FEB DURING THE SNOW AND ICE I HAD NOTICE A CRACK IN THE COWL. THE ICE HAD FROZEN UNDERNEATH AND COMPLETELY DAMADED THE COWL. THE DEALER FAILED TO GET BACK TO ME, AFTER A MONTH I CALLED THEY JUST STATED THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THIS SAYING "IT WAS DAMAGED DUE TO EXTERNAL FORCE" THOUGH THERE WAS NO EXTERNAL FORCE? THIS IS CHEAP THIN FLEXIBLE PLASTIC THAT SHOULD HAVE NOT CRACKED COMPLETELY ACROSS THIS COWL, NOW. PLEASE HELP. ANY WATER ENTERING ON THE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT HOLD FROM THE LOOSE MOLDING AND BROKEN COWL AROUND THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, THIS IS CONTINUING TO GET WORSE. I ALSO HAVE A CRACK IN THE SLIDING GLASS WINDOW LEFT SIDE DOOR. *TR

MY WIFE WAS AT THE GAS STATION SHE OPENED THE DRIVERS SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR TO GET HER PURSE OUT AND AFTER SHE RETRIEVED HER PURSE SHE PUSHED THE CLOSE BUTTON ON THE DOOR, AND THEN OPENED THE GAS FILLER DOOR AND REMOVED THE GAS CAP AS THE SLIDING DOOR WAS CLOSING. THE DOOR STOPPED AND AUTOMATICALLY REOPENED, CRASHING INTO THE GAS FILLER DOOR AND CRUSHING THE GAS CAP ALONG THE SIDE OF THE VAN , LEAVING IT DENTED. I WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. LUCKILY , HER HAND DIDN'T GET CRUSHED, AND SHE DIDN'T HAVE GAS PUMPING YET. *AK

1 YEAR OLD, 2006 DODGE CARAVAN, TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, AT 65 MPH, THE REAR RIGHT BRAKE LOCKED ON. SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE AXLE/WHEEL AREA, AND ONCE STOPPED, THE CAR HAD TROUBLE MOVING.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. TOLD SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. SENSOR REPLACED - CHARGED OVER $300 AND PROBLEM NOT FIXED. THEN TOLD IT IS A DIFFERENT SENSOR THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *JB

SOON AFTER TEMPERATURES WENT BELOW FREEZING, THE BLOWER FAN STOPPED WORKING IN MY VEHICLE. THEREFORE, SUFFICIENT HEAT COULD NOT BE BROUGHT THROUGH VEHICLE TO WARM PASSENGERS, DEFROST WINDOWS, AND MOST DANGEROUSLY, KEEP WINDOWS FROM FOGGING UP WHILE DRIVING. AT FIRST THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE RESISTOR SWITCH - BUT 2 DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, TODAY THEY REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR AND I HAVE YET TO SEE IF IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM. THEY SUGGESTED A DEFECT WHERE MOISTURE MAY BE GETTING INSIDE THE BLOWER MOTOR & FREEZING, CAUSING IT TO BURN OUT. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE INSIDE PANELS OF BOTH FRONT DOORS RUBBED AGAINST THE OCCUPANTS LEG AND CAUSED SWELLING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED.
