2006 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

WHEN I START ENGINE EVERYTHING IS OK BUT AIR BAG LIGHT STAY ON DASHBOARD ALL THE TIME AND I HEAR 2 OR 3 SOUNDS AFTER THAT NO SOUND BUT AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING. I SEE THAT 2006 DODGE CARAVAN HAVE RECALL ON AIR BAG MODULE, I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY MAIL FROM CHRYSLER REGARDING THIS RECALL . *TR

CAR SOMETIMES STALLS ONCE OR TWICE WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF FILLING UP GAS TANK, ESPECIALLY IN COLD WEATHER. THIS STARTED ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO AND HAPPENS SUDDENLY AND SOMETIMES IN TRAFFIC. AFTER DRIVING FURTHER THE CAR IS OK UNTIL NEXT FILL-UP. A WEB SITE CLAIMS WE MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK AND OTHER EQUIPMENT. HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/DODGE-CARAVAN/TLG43ITP0RVGN1IOQ. *TR

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK WITH GAS, EVEN ON NEAR-EMPTY TANK, GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF AND GAS SPILLS OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE BODY OF THE CAR ONTO THE GROUND. DODGE ISSUED A RECALL FOR DURANGO AND OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES FOR A FAULTY CHECK VALVE IN THE TANK BUT NOT FOR MY CAR (CARAVAN). I'D LIKE TO LODGE A COMPLAINT. DODGE TELLS ME THAT FIXING THIS PROBLEM WILL COST ME $1720 FOR A NEW GAS TANK. I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD FIX IT FOR ME BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS TO HAVE GAS SPILL OUT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL. *TR

THE 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN CANNOT BE REFUELED AT THE GAS STATION BECAUSE OF VAPOR NOT RELEASING IN THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. *TR

I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY RIGHT FRONT WINDOW NOT ROLLING DOWN. THEN HEAD LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FIRST NEGATIVE THEN POSITIVE REMOVED ECM AND CLEANED ALL PINS ON ECM AND THE SOCKET IT PLUGS INTO USING ELECTRONIC PARTS CLEANER. I WAITED FOR THE SOCKET AND PINS TO DRY BEFORE REPLACING THE ECM AND RECONNECTING THE POWER. PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF FOR A WHILE. NOW ALL PROBLEMS CAME BACK AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR A WEEK NOW ALL PROBLEMS CAME BACK AND VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ECM'S MADE FOR THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND NO RECALLS. I BELIEVE THAT THE ECM IS CAUSING MANY PROBLEMS SINCE ALL 3 ISSUES ARE CONTROLLED BY THE ECM UNIT. *TR

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK UP, THE VAN STALLS AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES OF DRIVING. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT THAT I HAD GOTTEN SOME GAS WITH WATER IN IT AT THE GAS STATION. BUT THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
