2007 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, ENGINE OIL BEGIN TO LEAK. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK SHAFT SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE VEHICLE HAS AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE DOOR PANELS AND BOTTOM CHASE. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE MUFFLER DUE TO RUST AND YOU CAN VISIBLY SEE NEAR THE DOOR PANELS A HOLE IS FORMING DUE TO DAMAGES FROM RUST/CORROSION. THE VEHICLE IS TYPICALLY KEPT INDOORS AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THESE KINDS OF DAMAGES.

I HAVE NOTHING BUT TROUBLE OUT WHEN YOU GET SHE WHERE AND IT GET HOT AND DON'T WHAT TO START BACK BUT IT DOESN'T OVER HEAT OR NOTHING AND IT WILL JUST SHIFT DOWN WHEN U ARE DRIVING 70 MILES HOUR IT HARD TO SHIFT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT GO FLASHLIGHT ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD U CAN BE DRIVING AND FOR KNOW REASON THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT WILL SHUT DOWN WE HAD IT CHECK IT DOESN'T GIVE ANY CODES AT ALL WHEN THIS HAPPENS U GOT TO TAKE THE BATTERY CABLE OFF AND RESET EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY VAN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. I QUICKLY PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. IT STARTED FINE AND SEEMS TO RUN FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A SCHOOL BUS CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

MY CAR IS NOW GETTING ITS THIRD TRANSMISSION WHEN I HAVE ONLY OWNED CAR FOR TWO YEARS. I DON'T KNOW WHY MY CAR IS REJECTING THE TRANSMISSION. WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS SOME KIND OF RECALL ON THIS CAR? THIS COULD HAVE KILLED MY THREE KIDS AND ME DUE TO THE FACT WE WERE ON A MAIN ROAD DRIVING AND THEN MY CAR JUST DIED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD STALL AFTER EVERY FUEL FILL UP AT STOP LIGHTS OR SLOWING DOWN TO PARK.NOW VEHICLE STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND LOSES ALL POWER.I BROUGHT IT BACK TO DODGE DEALER WHEN IT WAS NEW AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG.NOW AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THERE FUEL TANKS REPLACED BECAUSE OF A ROLL OVER VALVE THAT'S A PERMANENT PART OF THE FUEL TANK.AFTER EACH FILL THE ROLL OVER CUTS FUEL OFF FROM THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL.THE DEALER WANTS ALMOST $1200.00 DOLLARS FOR THE PART PLUS $500.00 DOLLARS LABOR.THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH OTHER DODGE VEHICLE'S HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY WERE RECALLED AND FUEL TANKS REPLACED.I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. THANK YOU *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY SINCE THE CAR WAS 3 MONTHS OLD. PURCHASED NEW. TOLD BY A DEALER IN RENO AND A DEALER IN LAS VEGAS THAT IT WAS NOTHING, THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. NOW AFTER REPLACING THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER, AND A NEW ENGINE THE WHOLE BODY CONTROL MODULE IS GOING CRAZY. THE WHOLE PANEL GOES ON AND OFF - ABS LIGHT, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT, AIR BAG LIGHT, ETC, THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGES ETC--SOMETIMES THEY WORK OTHER TIMES THEY SHUT DOWN. THIS IS DANGEROUS NOT KNOWING YOUR CORRECT SPEED OR IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AUTOMOBILE. BOTH AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS QUIT A YEAR AGO AND THE LOCK ON THE PASSENGER SLIDER DOOR QUIT WORKING. *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 1/6/2015 A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME I WAS RUNNING 50 MPH WHEN I HIT HIM MY CAR WAS HIT ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND TOTALED AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS NEVER CAME OUT.I AM SO GLAD MY GRAND DAUGHTER WAS NOT IN THE CAR. *TR

EVERYTIME WE FILL UP THE CAR IT STALLS AND DIES WHEN YOU DRIVE AWAY. THE PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU FILL UP THE CAR. THE SCARIEST TIME IT CUT OUT AND STALLED WE HAD JUST FILLED UP. WE WERE AT A STOPLIGHT TURNING LEFT. YOU HAVE TO YIELD TO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC (WHICH HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY) WHICH IS TRAVELING 55 MPH. WE PULLED OUT TO TURN LEFT THE CAR DIED. AND THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD TO LOCK UP THERE BRAKES AND SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING MY FAMILY AND I. WE HAVE BEEN FILLING ONLY HALF WAY UP IN GAS TANK AROUND TOWN. WHICH IS REALLY ANNOYING. WE JUST TOOK A ROAD TRIP AND IT WAS NECESSARY TO FILL UP ALL THE WAY TO MAKE SURE WE HAD ENOUGH GAS IN BETWEEN TOWNS. WE WOULD HAVE TO GET GAS ONLY WERE WE COULD EASILY HOP ON AND OFF THE FREEWAY. IT WOULD DIE AS WE PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION. I WOULD RESTART AND DRIVE AWAY. IT WOULD THAN BE FINE ON FREEWAY. ONCE UP TO SPEED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL FIGURE OUT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE GETS INJURED FROM IT. I CALLED DODGE WHO SAID THEY HAD NO REPORTED ISSUES OF THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
