1992 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

DT: HAD THE BRAKES AND ABS UNIT REPLACED 3 TIMES, AND CONSUMER IS VERY AGGRAVATED. TALKED TO CHRYSLER, AND THEY HAVE THE INFORMATION. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT VEHICLE HAD NO BRAKES. *AK

CONSUMER STATED DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE RECALL FOR ABS BRAKE SYSTEM UNTIL CONSUMER PAID A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. *AK RECALL CAMPAIGN RECALL NUMBER: 96V099000 *TC

WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT SEATBACK SNAPPED AND THEN COLLAPSED ONTO THE REAR SEAT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS SIMPLY REACHING INTO MY FRONT POCKET FOR MY KEYS. I WAS NOT INJURED AND FEEL VERY FORTUNATE THAT MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE BACK SEAT AT THE TIME THE SEAT FAILED. I WENT TO WHITE BEAR DODGE AND TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE SAID THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT SUPPLY PARTS FOR SEATS, AND THAT A NEW SEAT WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURER MUST FIX, AND I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. *AK

THE CONSUMER STATES THE ABS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT THE BRAKE FLUID LEAKS. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH HOOD FLEW UP. AS A RESULT, DRIVER'S VISIBILITY WAS IMPAIRED. NO IMPACT REPORTED. *AK

1992 GRAND CARAVAN BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT STAY ON FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. BRAKE PEDAL AT TIMES WILL NOT DEPRESS. I AM A 76 YEAR OLD LADY AND I AM HAVING TO PARK MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT WITH BRAKES ONLY INTERMITTENTLY WORKING. TOLD BY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT PART OF THE ABS SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACING AT A COST OF OVER $2000?? THIS IS RIDICULOUS!*AK

WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PEDAL WAS HARD. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, IT SKIDDED, AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT, BOTH AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED ABS LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD, AND REMAINED ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. CONSUMER DROVE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT A PART OF THE ABS MODULE NEEDED REPLACING. THE PART WAS NOT ON RECALL OR UNDER WARRANTY. *AK

MY 1992 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN LE COOLANT FAN FAILED AND THE RELAY DID NOT INTERUPT WHICH CONTINUED TO FEED POWER BACK TO THE FUSE PANEL WHICH IN RETURN CAUSED MY WIRING HARNESS TO IGNITE INTO FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD RIGHT OVER THE LEFT STRUT ! *AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT BRAKE LIGHTS KEPT COMING ON, AND BRAKES FAILED, AND BRAKE PEDAL FELT HARD. THIS LASTED FROM 2-5 MINUTES EACH TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES. CONSUMER WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A COLLISION, BUT WAS AFRAID THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN.*AK
