1991 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

TRANSMISSION WOULD JUMP AND SKIP WHILE DRIVING. CONSUMER HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL ON TRANSMISSION.*AK CONSUMER ALSO STATES ACCORDING TO THE ENCLOSED BILL THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT REPLACED THEY CHARGED CONSUMER FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION, CONSUMER IS NOT SURE IF IT IS THE SAME THING AS A TRANSMISSION, IT IS ONLY GOOD FOR 1 YEAR OR 12,000 MILES. *JB

A FUEL LEAK OCCURRED AT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN A FLEXIBLE FUEL LINE FROM THE FUEL TANK TO WHERE IT JOINS A STEEL FUEL LINE ON THE REAR AXLE. THE FUEL LEAK WAS CAUSED BY FAILURE OF THE CRIMPED ALUMINUM CONNECTOR. THE CONNECTOR WAS SEVERELY CORRODED TO THE POINT WHERE IT BROKE. THIS ALLOWED FUEL TO LEAK FROM THIS CONNECTION WHENEVER THERE WAS PRESSURE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM.

BOLT THAT HOLDS TENSIONER BROKE, CAUSING IT TO SEPARATE FROM VEHICLE, AND RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. OWNER REPLACED THE PART THREE TIMES. *AK CONSUMER STATES THAT WEBSITE SHOWS THIS FAILURE HAPPENING FREQUENTLY. *SLC

SLIDING DOOR LATCH WOULD MAKE CLICKING NOISES WHEN DOOR IS LOCKED. LOCKS WOULD JUMP UP & DOWN. LIGHT ON DASHBOARD INDICATES THAT DOOR IS AJAR WHEN ITS NOT.*AK

THE FAULTY FUEL RAIL CAUSED A SMALL ENGINE FIRE, THE 1996-2000 MODEL CARAVANS WERE RECALLED FOR FAULTY FUEL RAILS, THE CONSUMER REQUEST REIMBUSEMENT BECAUSE HE BELIEVES THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT. NLM

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT 5 MPH OR LESS DRIVER'S SEAT HAVE COLLAPSED COMPLETELY BACKWARD. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT IT WAS NOT COVER UNDER A RECALL. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER TO FIND A USED SEAT AND REPLACE IT. *YH

VEHICLE'S HEADLIGHT COVERS ARE GETTING DARKER WITH AGE, LESS VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING IN DARKNESS. *AK *SLC

ON THE 14 AND 28 OF FEBRUARY, 2001 LEFT REAR WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER. PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED TEMPORARILY.*AK

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. OUR 1996 DODGE CARAVAN'S TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED ALSO. WE PUT OUR FAITH IN CHRYSLER PRODUCTS AND NOW WE ARE STRANDED. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER CORP. SHOULD BE HELD FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REPAIRS AS A RESULT OF THIS SAFETY DEFECT. *AK

SEAT FRAME BROKE IN HALF, AND DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WENT BACKWARDS TOWARD BACK SEATS . DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK
