1993 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

EHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR IMPACT ABOUT 50 MPH WHICH CAUSED DRIVER'S SEATBACK TO COLLAPSE, AND DRIVER FELL BACKWARDS. THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED INJURIES. *AK

INTERMITTENTLY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATES, PEDAL BECOMES HARD, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER HAS INSPECTED VEHICLE. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON THE ABS; HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN.*AK

AIR CONDITIONER WON'T WORK, HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE WITH CARAVANS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO, HAVE SEEN A LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES WITH THE PAINT CHIPPING. THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD US AT THE TIME THAT WE PURCHASED THAT THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SOME TYPE OF RECOURSE ON THE PAINT ON THE CARAVAN. I HAVE ONLY SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON THE 1993'S AND EARLIER MODELS. WE OWN A 1994, SAME COLOR, DRIFTWOOD, AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER WITH AIR OR PAINT.

HEADLIGHT LENSES ARE YELLOWING AND CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK THE MAUFACTURER SAYS THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE. *YH

APPROACHED RED LIGHT, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR, WENT THROUGH RED LIGHT. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT. AFTERWARD, THE BRAKES RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE DEALER CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG.

I WAS UNSURE ABOUT THIS BEING A SAFTEY ISSUE BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IF WINDSHEILDS WERE ATTACHED TO PEELING PAINT THAT IT COULD POSE A PROBLEM. I TRUST THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DECIDE IF THIS IS A PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED. *AK

DAIMLER/CHRYSLER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND ARE CURRENTLY AWARE OF THE ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION KNOWN AS A-604. THEY ARE, HOWEVER, UNWILLING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MATTER SINCE THE WARRANTY HAS CONVENIENTLY EXPIRED. *AK
