2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

IT DOES NOT SHIFT INTO PARK. THE TRANSMISSION CABLE IS BROKEN. YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR HAD IN AND MANUALLY PARK THE VAN. BEFORE THE CABLE BROKE IT HAD TROUBLES SHIFTING AND NOW WENT WORK AT ALL.

REPEATEDLY THE VEHICLE WILL LOOSE POWER AND STALLS OUT AFTER FILLING THE TANK WITH FUEL. IT WILL OCCUR WITHIN LESS AND 1/8TH OF MILE AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS REPEATEDLY IN INOPPORTUNE SITUATIONS, LIKE TRAVELING UP A STEEP HILL AND AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. WE ARE ORIGINAL OWNERS AND HAD NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH IT . IT HAS JUST UNDER 120K MILES ON IT.

AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED.... THERE IS A RECALL AFFECTING 2005 - 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN / TOWN AND COUNTRY AIRBAGS ITS SAYING MY VIN HAS 0 RECALLS THIS IS FALSE DATA. MY LIGHT FLICKERS ON AND OFF AND ACCORDING TO THE BOOK IF LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED MY AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND THE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT DURING A RAIN.

CAR WILL STALL A FEW MINUTES AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. IT WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND WILL NOT RESTART FOR 20 MINUTES CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

FACTORY FUEL PUMP IS CRACKED, WRIGHT ON THE CONNECTION TO THE FUEL LINE ,ITS A HAIR LINE CRACK,

I JUST ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND GAS 6 RECALLS BASED IN THE NHTSA. DOORS READ MODEL 2004. I CALLED CHRYSLER DODGE DEALER IN HEMET, CALIFORNIA AND THE SERVICE RECEPTIONIST STATED THERE IS NOTHING TO DO THAT ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS VAN. PLEASE HELP. THE LIGHT ENGINE IS ON. THE POWER TRAIN KICKS SOMETIMES (DRAGS) SUDDENLY. AND I SEE THE 6 RECALLS APPLICABLE TO THIS MODEL

VAN LOSE POWER STEERING DURING HEAVY RAIN ONLY. I PURCHASE THIS VAN IN JUNE/JULY 2018 RECENTLY HAD POWER STEERING CHECK AND NO ISSUES FOUND. YET THIS THE FIFTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. TODAY I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN TO PICKUP MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE WHEEL TIGHTEN UP AND I WAS UNABLE TURN. I HAD TO TURN ON MY HAZARDS LIGHT AND TURN CAR OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AFTER LETTING VEHICLE SIT ABOUT 15 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I REPEAT IT ONLY HAPPENS IN THE RAIN WHY I BELIEVE THERE IS A MANUFACTOR DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, ANOTHER DRIVER TOLD US THE VAN'S TAIL LIGHT WAS SMOKING. WE PULLED AROUND A CORNER AND INTO A PARKING LOT AND FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS ON FIRE WITH FLAMES LAPPING UP THE SIDE OF THE VAN. THE VAN WAS TURNED OFF AND THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED. WE REMOVED THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND FOUND THAT THE INSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLY AND THE WIRING HARNESS WERE DESTROYED. THERE IS ALSO BODY DAMAGE. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT BULB IN THE PASSENGER SIDE BURNING OUT FREQUENTLY, AND HAD SEEN EVIDENCE OF OVERHEATING AND SOME MELTING IN THE BRAKE LIGHT CONNECTOR SOCKET IN ABOUT 2010. ALTHOUGH THE LIGHTS BURN OUT FREQUENTLY, THE MELTING HAD NOT GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THEN. THE DRIVER'S SIDE TAIL LIGHT HAS NEVER EXHIBITED A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. AT THIS TIME IT IS UNKNOWN IF THERE IS ANY DAMAGE OR FAULT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEYOND THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF OBVIOUS DAMAGES IS APPROXIMATELY $1,000 TO $1,500 WITH REPAINTING.

I HAVE A FUEL LEAK UNDERNEATH FROM THE TOP OF FUEL TANK. I BELIEVE IT IS COMING FROM THE FUEL PUMP. LEAKS WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING ONLY. DOES NOT LEAK WHEN AUTO IS NOT RUNNING.

TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING IN THE FRONT. REPLACED BULBS MULTI FUNTION SWITCH AND LIGHT BULD SOCKETS AND STILL DONT WORK
