2005 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

2005 DODGE CARAVAN HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. ON 3 OCCASIONS IN ONE NIGHT MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY. ON TWO OCCASIONS THEY CAME RIGHT BACK ON. THE THIRD TIME I HAD TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON TO GET THEM TO COME ON. AFTER GOOGLING THIS PROBLEM I NOTICED THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM INDICATING A POSSIBLE FAULTY SWITCH OR GROUND PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2005 DODGE CARAVAN AND THE POWER LOCKS QUIT WORKING, THE HORN BLOWS AND THE LIGHTS BLINK WHEN YOU PUSH THE KEYLESS BUTTON BUT THE LOCKS DON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE KIDS IN THE BACK CAN OPEN THE DOORS AND WE THINK THEY ARE LOCKED. I HAVE ASKED THE DODGE GARAGE ABOUT A FIX AND AM TOLD IT NEEDS A COMPUTER FLASH FIX OR SOMETHING FOR $130.00. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER. ALSO THE DOORS NO LONGER LOCK WHEN THE SPEED REACHES 20 MPH. *TR

2005 DODGE CARAVAN - AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. VEHICLE APPARENTLY DOES NOT MEET THE CRITERIA FOR THE RECALL CAMPAIGN BUT HAS THE GENERAL REQUIREMENTS NEEDED FOR REPLACEMENT: 1. AIRBAG SENSOR ILLUMINATED 2. VEHICLE REGISTERED IN A "SALT BELT" AREA WHICH COULD CAUSE CORROSION. *TR

FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS I'VE BEEN TAKING MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITH CONCERN OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. MY TRANSMISSION SLIPS IN 2 AND 3RD GEAR, I'VE BEEN IN REVERSE AND MY VAN HAS GONE INTO DRIVE, I'VE BEEN IN DRIVE AND MY VANS GONE IN REVERSE, MY VAN HESITATES, STALLS AND EVEN DIES. MY TRANSMISSIONS FEELS AS THOUGH IT'S DROPPED INTO "NEUTRAL" WHEN IT SLIPS GEAR CAUSING MY VAN TO IMMEDIATELY DECELERATE SPEED (SOMETIMES DIE), FREEWAY OR CITY DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN MY VAN IN HANDFULS OF TIME WITH THIS CONCERN AND EVERYTIME I WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION IS FINE, 1 TECH SAID HE NOTICED A SLIGHT SLIP IN GEARS. BUT THERE WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I'VE BEEN TO 3 DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE HAS NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I'VE TAKEN IT TO AAMCO 1 TIME AND THEY INSTANTLY FOUND THE PROBLEM, THEY JUST CAN'T REPAIR MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I AM STILL UNDER DEALER WARRANTY. WHAT AAMCO HAS FOUND IS: 2-3 GEAR SLIPS BAD, TORQUE CONVERTER: NOISY, BAD, TCC/LOCKUP: SLIPS BAD. DODGE WILL NOT HONOR AAMCO FINDINGS, WHICH IT TO BE EXPECTED BUT I HAVE 3 CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 9 AND NOT ONE DEALER WANTS TO TAKE IT UNDER WARRANTY AND FIX THE KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

I'M WRITING THIS TO COMPLAINT ABOUT 2005 DODGE CARAVAN POWER LOCK NOT WORKING. WE HAVE 2005 DODGE CARAVAN AND OUR POWER LOCK STOP WORKING. IT WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK ANYMORE. I HAVE CHECK ALL FUSE AND ALL ARE FINE. WHEN YOU GO TO SPEED OF 20MPH IT USED TO LOCK AND EVEN THAT STOP WORKING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID WE HAVE TO UPDATE PROGRAM AND IT WILL COST AROUND $95.00. SO I WENT ON GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND NUMEROURS COMPLAINT REGURDING LOCK PROBLEM OTHER PEOPLE HAS POSTED. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT MAKE THAT AS RECALL. THEY WANT MONEY TO FIX THEIR COMPUTER PROBLEM WHICH THEY SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. I HOPE YOU CAN SEE THAT LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING TO FIX THIS AND HOPE TO COME TO RESCUE THEM
