1993 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

CONSUMER HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS, BRAKES WERE REPLACED FOR A RECALL. CONSUMER LATER HAD TO REPLACE VALVES DUE TO RUST. *TS THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL KIT THAT WAS USED DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. *JB

FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR IS FROZEN AND SEAT BELT CANNOT BE WORN. MADE REPEATED ATTEMPTS AT GETTING THE BELT TO LOOSEN UP AND ALL ATTEMPTS FAILED. DEALER TELLS ME THE REPAIR WILL COST $328 TO REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE ILLEGALLY AND I'M LAUGHABLY SURPRISED THAT THE NHTSA, GIVEN THAT THERE ARE 13 COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME COMPONENT ISSUE ALREADY FOR THIS MODEL YEAR ALONE, HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL. ARE SEAT BELTS NO LONGER A SAFETY COMPONENT OR CONCERN FOR THE AGENCY THAT FIRST MANDATED THEIR USE? CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER THIS REPAIR. *JB

I HAVE A 1993 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH A FAILED ABS SYSTEM. THEY SAID THE HYDRALIC CYL. ASSEMBLY AND ACCUMULATOR WERE BAD. CAMPAIGN # 96V099000 .MY DODGE DEALER SAYS THE PARTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE , YET WANTS TO REPLACE THE ABS PUMP AND CHARGE ME $400+. IT SEEMS THEY DO NOT INTEND TO REPLACE THE IN WARRANTY (UNAVAILABLE PARTS) WITH ANYTHING. THIS IS NOT TO MAY SATISFACTION! THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED TWO YEARS AGO, BUT APPARENTLY HAS NOT HELDUP TO THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. MILES ARE STILL UNDER 100,000 MILES.

THE ABS CHECK LIGHT REMAINSEDON AND CAUSED THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES NOT TO OPERATE PROPERLY, WHICH PREVENTED VEHICLE FROM STOPPING CORRECTLY. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER.*AK

RE: 1993 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. YELLOW ABS AND RED BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ACCOMPANIED BY SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER BRAKE ASSIST. I MANAGED TO AVOID SEVERAL POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS BY INCREASING FOLLOWING DISTANCE AND BRAKING EARLY. I TOOK THE VAN TO DOWNS GARAGE, MY CUSTOMARY REPAIR PLACE. GILBERT DOWNS, OWNER, DIAGNOSED ABS PUMP FAILURE, AND CONTACTED ABERNETHY CHRYSLER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR WARRANTY WORK APPOINTMENT. ABERNETHY REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE VEHICLE, GIVING TWO DIFFERING ACCOUNTS CONCERNING THE RECALL/WARRANTY.*AK

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REFERENCE TO NHTSA RECALL, CAMPAAIGN ID NUMBER: 99V213000. ON 2/12/05, THE LIFTGATE BOLTS ON MY 1993 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN FAILED SUDDENLY. THE DODGE DEALER WOULD NOT HONOR THE RECALL AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD, I WAS CHARGED $201.18 FOR THE REPAIR. I THINK THAT THE DAIMERCHRYSLER CORPORATION SHOULD HONOR THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AS STIPULATED IN THE RECALL NOTICE.*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM. . WHEN THEY WERE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE SLOWLY HESITATED TO STOP. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO GET IT SERVICED APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS AGO FOR THIS PROBLEM. CURRENTLY THIS SAME PROBLEM RECURRED. ONE HAD TO VERY FIRMLY APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP.*AK

ABS SYSTEM FAILURE - DEALER REFUSES TO FIX PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM DATED APR 19 1996 - NHTSA CAMPAING # 96V09900 - OVER 320,000 VEHICLES AFFECTED.

THE SRS AIR BAG LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. CONSUMER NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD ON ITS ON. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *AK
