2000 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

THE SEATBELT HOLDING MY CHILD'S CARSEAT CAME UNLATCHED TWICE - PRIOR TO THE "PRIMETIME" SHOW ON ABC. *AK

I AM OUTRAGED AT DAIMLER CHRYSLERS GEN-3 SEATBELTS! IT IS RIDICULOUS NOT TO RECALL THESE SEATBELTS THAT CAN BE UNLATCHED SO EASY. AT ANY ONE POINT I HAVE 5 CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE, 2-3 IN CHILD CAR-SEATS AND NOW I DON'T EVEN WANT TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE!! I HAVEN'T HAD ANY INCIDENCES OF THIS, BUT NOW THAT I KNOW IT CAN HAPPEN, I AM SCARED FOR MY CHILDRENS LIVES! PLEASE CONSIDER ALL OF THE EVIDENCE IN THE SITUATION REGARDING THESE USELESS SEAT BELTS AND MAKE AN HONORABLE JUDGEMENT. *AK

ABOUT A QUART OF GASOLINE STARTED LEAKING FROM UNDER THE CAR WHEN FILLED UP. REPLACED THE CLAMP BETWEEN THE HOSE AND GAS TANK. THE LEAK OCCURED AGAIN WHEN FILLED UP THE NEXT TIME. DEALER SAID THE TANK WAS BOWED AND REPLACED THE GAS TANK, FUEL HOSE AND O RING. NO MORE PROBLEM

MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING, AND ROTORS WERE WARPING. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

WHEN GOING UPHILL, CONSUMER HAS TO SHIFT VEHICLE MANUALLY OR VEHICLE WILL STALL AND LOSE RPM, DEALER CONTACTED.*AK CONSUMER ALSO STATED WHEN GOING DOWNHILL VEHICLE DOES NOT HOLD SPEED, AND WOULD ROLL OUT OF CONTROL IF NOT CONSTANTLY BRAKING.*JB

THE IGNITION ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THE KEY CONSTANTLY WONT TURN. THE SAFETY SWITCH TO PREVENT THE LEFT REAR DOOR FROM OPENING WHEN THE TANK IS BEING FILLED IS DEFECTIVE. THE DEALERSHIP HAD IT REMOVED. I REFUSED REPLACEMENT. THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN WHEN IT WAS JAMMED.

THE DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE LOST CONTROL, CAUSING A ROLLOVER, ONE OF THE PASSENGERS WAS SITTING IN THE RIGHT HALF OF THE MIDDLE SEAT, THIS IS A DOUBLE SEAT WHICH DOES NOT EXTEND ALL THE WAY TO THE DOOR, THE SEATBELT FOR THE MIDDLE SEAT IS ANCHORED TO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, NOT THE SEAT ITSELF, IN THIS CASE WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER, THE DOOR OPENED AND THE VICTIM WAS EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE AND WAS KILLED, THIS LETTER IS FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PIMA COUNTY CHILD FATALITY REVIEW TEAM, THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE IS CARTEMPS/ALAMO RENT A CAR, THE DRIVER AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT IS UNKNOWN. *SLC

UPON PLACING VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE WILL STALL, THEN JERK INTO FORWARD MOTION. ALL OTHER GEAR FUNCTION CORRECTLY, EXCLUDING DRIVE GEAR.*AK

CONSUMER STATED THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEN TURNING HARD AND WHEN TURNING AND NOT MOVING, CONSUMER ALSO COMPLAINED THAT THERE IS VIBRATION IN THE STEEING, DEALER BALANCED FRONT TIRES FROM A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT ABOUT THE STEERING.*JB

WHILE DRIVING, CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT PULL. TOOK TO DEALER, AND DEALER INDICATED DIFFERENTIAL PIN BROKE IN TRANSMISSION.*AK CHRYSLER PAID FOR HALF OF THE BILL. *JB
