2000 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

REAR-MOST SEAT HAS A LEVER BELOW IT WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO ADJUST THE FRONT TO BACK POSITION TO 3 DIFFERENT STOPS, WHEN THE SEAT IS SLID FOWARD TO THE FRONT-MOST STOP, THE OUTBOARD SEAT BELTS FOR THAT SEAT DO NOT REACH AROUND THE PASSENGERS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES, MIDDLE BELT IS FINE, CONSUMER BELIEVES THE ORIGINAL BELTS ARE INCORRECT, CONSUMER WAS ADVISED TO CALL DEALER AND ASK FOR SEAT BELT EXTENDERS AND AFTER NUMEROUS CALLS AND EXAMINING VEHICLE TWICE, CONSUMER RECEIVED BELTS. *JB

BRAKE FAILURE WHILE APPLYING BRAKE AT A LOW SPEED, VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. NO SIGN OF FAILURE WAS GIVEN. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK

INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON AND REMAIN ON WHILE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. CONSUMER HAS NOT TAKEN TVEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF DEFECT. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

ELECTRIC LOCKS/ DOORS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN. ALSO, THAT IF CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES SUDDENLY LOCKS WOULD BE TRIGGERED SOMETIMES. THIS HAPPENS ON A RANDOM BASIS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

SINCE APRIL 2000 I HAVE EXPERIENCE PROBS WITH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES. IT BEGAN CLICKING IN THE REAR, I WAS TOLD BY DLR THAT ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENTS. 2 WEEKS LATER CLICKING BEGAN AGAIN, LOUDER THAT TIME. DLR KEPT VEH SD THEY COULDN'T LOCATE PROB. SO THEY CLEANED BRAKES AND TURNED ROTORS. CLICKING THEN BEGAN IN FRONT OF VEHICLE, ONLY WHEN STOPPING, AND EXCESSIVE GRINDING SOUND BEGAN AND THE VEH WOULD WOBBLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP. DLR ADV THAT IT WAS DUE TO HEAT???? SO THE ROTORS WERE MAINTENANCED AGAIN. CLICKING STARTED AGAIN ABOUT A MONTH LATER AND CONTINUES WHEN STOPPING AS WELL AS A SOUND OF FLUID "SWISHING" AND GRINDING AT HALT. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THEY KEEP RETURNING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE, I AM RETURNING TO SERVICE TOMORROW AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING FULL REPAIRS. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND BASICALLY HAS BEEN NO HELP. WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP IF PROBLEM CONTINUES?*AK

DASHBOARD LIGHTS GO OUT CONSTANTLY. ALSO, DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK INTERMITTENTLY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER 5 TIMES, CANNOT REMEDY PROBLEM. DASHLIGHTS LIGHTS WENT OUT 18 TIMES WITHIN 10 DAYS.*AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPG ON A SIDE STREET AND ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN A STOP SIGN AND RAN INTO SIDE OF CONSUMER'S VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY, AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. *AK *JB

VEHICLE CAN BE SHIFTED INTO GEAR WITHOUT DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

HAVE HAD FRONT-END SUSPENSION CLUNK/KNOCKING SOUND WHEN TRAVELING 30-35 MPH. SERVICE DEPT. HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIX PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN TSB'S RELATING, BUT PROCEDURE DIDN'T WORK.*AK

I HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN THE VAN IN FOR REPAIRS FOR FUEL MILEAGE AND PINGING UNDER ACCELERATION AS WELL AS RATTLING IN THE STEERING COLUMN, INTERMITANT WIPERS WILL STOP WORKING INTERMITANTLY. THE MOST RESENT PROBLEM IS THE VENTS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE DASH BOARD CANNOT BE SHUT OFF WHILE THE HEATER IS ON, THIS CAUSES MY HEAD TO GET VERY WARM WHILE MY FEET ARE COLD. THE WIPER SWITCH, BODY COMPUTER AND MOTOR HAVE BEEN CHANGED AT 4 SEPERATE TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND THIS HAS NOT REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS HAVE CAUSED THE VAN TO BE OUT OF SERVICE FOR 14 DAYS AT THE DEALER, NONE OF THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.
