1991 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

I OWN BOTH A 1991 AND A 1995 DODGE CARAVAN... THE 1991 HAS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS, INCLUDING A BACK HATCH THAT WON'T STAY UP BECAUSE THE AREA OF THE FRAME THAT THE SHOCK LATCHES INTO IS BROKEN DUE TO A STRESS CRACK.. THIS MAKES IT REALLY HARD TRYING TO GET THINGS IN AND OUT WHEN YOU HAVE A BABY.. THE DRIVER SEAT ALSO FALLS BACKWARDS AND DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. THE GAUGES DO NOT WORK, WITH NO KNOWN CAUSE... BOTH THESE VEHICLES ARE WHITE IN COLOR AND THE PAINT IS PEELING IN THE SAME EXACT SPOTS ON BOTH VANS. IT'S ACROSS THE HOOD AND ACROSS THE TOP. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS, BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS - I HATE MY VANS AND PROBABLY WON'T EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CARAVAN. *JB

THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR WHEN APPLIED.*JB

FUEL RAIL LEAKS ONTO SUPER-HEATED EXHAUST MANIFOLD - EXTREME FIRE/EXPLOSION DANGER. THIS IS PRECISELY THE SAME PROBLEM AS IN OFICIAL RECALL OF SLIGHTLY LATER (1996 -...) DODGE/CHRYSLER MINIVANS. MANY OTHER IDENTICALLY REGISTERED COMPLAINTS AT NHTSA FOR SAME YEAR MODEL AS MINE. BELIEVE THIS TO BE A CHRYSLER DESIGN/SAFETY DEFECT. OUTRAGEOUS REPAIR COST FOR CONSUMER TO BEAR THE BRUNT OF CHRYSLER SAFETY/DESIGN FLAW. OPINION: CHRYSLER IS NEGLIGENT.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ABS ILLUMINATES ON THE DASHBOARD. THERE IS SOME BRAKING POWER. PLEASE FURNISH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.*JB

CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. ALSO STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE HE LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THE BRAKES. DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM HAD PROBLEMS BUT ALSO STATED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM WAS COVER FOR LIFE TIME. DEALER ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WAS MONEY THAT HE NEEDED TO PAY FOR SOME PARTS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ABS SYSTEM BUT NOT COVER FOR THE RECALL. TS

THE RECALLED ABS BRAKES I SENT THE MANUFACTURER THE BILL OR REIMBURSEMENT TWICE NOW WITH NO RESPONSE. DT
