1995 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

SLIDING DOOR CAME OFF THE HINGES; DEALER/MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED,AND WERER UNWILLING TO ASSIST IN THIS MATTER. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

COST $2400. TRANSMISSION SHOP KEEPS THEM ON THE SHELF, SINCE FAILURE IS SO COMMON!!! ONE TECHNICIAN THINKS HE'S DONE 13 OF THEM. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH, I FEEL LIKE A SCHMUCK FOR BUYING THE VEHICLE. I HAD NO IDEA CHRYSLER SOLD SUCH A PIECE OF CRAP. I HOPE DAIMLER FIRES ALL THEIR BUTTS. *AK

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM SHOT, LINES ROTTED INSIDE OUT, LEAKING ANTIFREEZE FROM REAR UNIT, HARZARDOUS TO HEALTH... CALL CHRYSLER TO PAY COST OF REPAIR SINCE UNIT REPLACED FOR A SECOND TIME, NOT EVEN 30K MILES FROM LAST FAILURE... CHRYSLER REP SAID NOTHING THEY WILL DO AND DISCONNECTED ME WHEN I ASKED TO TALK TO HIRE LEVEL MANAGER... ACCORDING TO NHTSA WEBSITE AND OTHERS THE A/C APPEARS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM.*AK

BOTTOM HINGES FOR DRIVER'S DOOR ARE FAILING, CAUSING DOOR DROP DOWN, RESULTING IN FAILURE OF DOOR TO PROPERLY ALIGN WITH FRAME SO THAT DOOR CAN BE CLOSED AND LOCKED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / ATTACHMENTS.*AK

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 65-70MPH. THERE WAS NO PRESSURE OR WARNING BEFORE VEHICLE ACTED WITHOUT GEARS. MOTOR WAS RUNNING WITH NO OVERDRIVE/ BRAKE LIGHTS, AND NO ENGAGEMENT OF GEARS. ALSO, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED ON A BUSY TURNPIKE. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILD IN MARCH OF 2000 . TRANSMISSION CAME WITH AN UNDER SIZED/ OVERDIVER/ REVERSE CLUTCH PISTON SMALL SIZE, CAUSING IT TO BE KNOCKED AROUND, AND MAKING SOME DEBRIS WHICH GOT INTO AREA. *AK ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 79665 MILES WHEN THE ORIGINAL OWNER WAS IN POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE, THE REPLACEMENT FAILED AT 79665, RESULTING IN SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED WITH NO WARNING. *SLC

4-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO DISPLAY SEVERE SHUTTERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ADDITIONALLY, POWER WILL SUDDENLY DECREASE AND THE VEHICLE SLOW DOWN, THEN RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. THERE HAVE BEEN REPEATED REPAIR ATTEMPTS. PROBLEM DOES NOT ALWAYS PRESENT ITSELF, SO IT IS DIFFICULT FOR DEALER TO TROUBLESHOOT. MOST RECENTLY, BECAUSE THE DEALER TECHNICIAN COULD NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO PRESENT ITSELF, THE CHRYSLER FIELD OFFICE REFUSED REPAIR EFFORTS - DESPITE MY CLAIMS AND EVIDENCE.*AK

TRANSMISSION STOPPED SHIFTING, AND A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE L FRONT SIDE UNDER THE VAN. VAN HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR EVLUATION. DEALER IDENTIFIED DAMAGED DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSMISSION AND ADVISED REPLACEMENT. COST $2159.56. I CONTACTED DODGE ON 3 OCCASIONS AND THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY CLAIM THAT VAN WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIR. THEY PROVIDED NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY TRANSMISSION FAILED. THIS VAN HAD BEEN MAINTAINED PER MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATION BUT NOT AT THE DEALERSHIP. LOW USE AND IMPECCABLE CONDITION OF VAN COULD BE CONFIRMED BY DEALERSHIP STAFF.*AK

DRIVER DOOR IS SAGGING, WELD ON HINGE IS RUSTING. HINGE IS PULLING AWAY FROM DOOR. CONSUMER HAS TO LIFT UP ON DOOR TO OPEN AND CLOSE IT.*AK

DOOR IS RUSTING AT HINGES RIGHT OFF POST . CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *AK

SEAT BELT UPPER ANCHOR CAME OFF WHILE PUTTING ON SEAT BELT. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND REPAIRS DONE AT NO COST TO CONSUMER. *AK *SLC
