I BOUGHT MY DODGE GRAND CARAVAN ON 09/09/2009. MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE KEY FOB. I WAS USING MY FIRST KEY FOB & THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I KEPT TRYING & EVENTUALLY IT DID START. WITH YEARS OF USE THIS PLASTIC FOB HAS BECOME OUT OF SHAPE WITH TAPE ON IT. WHEN I DROVE HOME IT STOPPED WHILE ON THE ROAD HOME. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER. MY WIFE BROUGHT ME THE SPARE KEY FOB. THIS HAS WORKED FOR A WHILE & NOW IT IS ACTING UP. I WENT TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP & THEY WANT OVER $400 FOR TWO KEY FOBS INCLUDING REPROGRAMMING THEM. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE DODGE NEVER TOLD ME THAT THE KEY FOBS WOULD ONLY LAST FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. I HAVE OTHER VEHICLES WITH REGULAR OLD FASHIONED KEYS & THEY STILL WORK PROPERLY EVEN AFTER 11 YEARS. THUS I NEED DODGE TO REPLACE THESE KEY FOBS OR REPURCHASE MY VEHICLE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IT COULD STOP AT ANY MOMENT.
