2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

SLIDING POWER DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. SOUNDS LIKE THE MOTOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WILL OPEN TO CLOSE PARTLY BUT WILL NOT CLOSE TO LOCK. I HAD TO TIE A CORD THROUGH THAT DOOR THEN LOOP IT AROUND THE PASSENGER'S DOOR TO KEEP IT SHUT UNTIL I GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS HAPPENED LATE AT NIGHT SO THE VAN SAT I THE DRIVE UNLOCKED. *TR

NO EVENT LEADING UP TO FAILURE. POWER LOCKS STOPPED WORKING EXCEPT FOR THE BACK. *TR

THE POWER DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED. THE VAN ONLY HAS A KEY LOCK ON THE DRIVERS DOOR AND WITH KIDS THIS IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT, BUT IT'S NOT SAFE. AFTER LOOKING IT UP ON THE INTERNET, PULLING AND REPLACING A FUSING PROVIDED A TEMPORARY FIX, BUT THAT WILL NOT WORK NOW. APPARENTLY THE ONLY FIX IS HAVING THE DEALER RELOAD THE MEMORY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE ELECTRICAL POWER DOOR LOCKS ARE INOPERATIVE. THE CONTACT HAS TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND A TECHNICIAN RESET THE SYSTEM AT AN EXPENSE OF $85.00. THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND THE MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRIVING TO GET LUNCH BEFORE PICKING UP MY SON FROM SCHOOL. I PULLED INTO A BURGERKING PARKING LOT AS I WENT TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED THE MINI VAN I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A TRAIL OF BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE LINE HAD EXPLODED. *TR

I WENT ON LINE TO SEE HOW MANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS THERE IS REGARDING MY 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT. THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IS BY TURN SIGNAL DON'T FUNCTION CORRECTLY. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN I TURN THE SIGNAL FOR LEFT IT GOES RIGHT AND VISE VERSA. SOMETIMES THE SIGNALS DON'T COME ON AT ALL. WELL THERE'S SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALL OR FIX DUE TO THE DEFECT WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE POWER DOOR LOCKS, ON MY 2005 DODGE CARAVAN HAVE QUIT WORKING. I FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ONBOARD COMPUTER AND AS YET CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. WE HAVE SMALL GRAND CHILDREN THAT COULD POSSIBLY OPEN THE DOORS WHILE THE VAN IS MOVING, WHICH MAKES IT A DANGER FACTOR. WE HAVE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY PULLING A FUSE OR DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY CABLE BUT IT ONLY WORKS FOR A SHORT WHILE AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN LAST YEAR AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. LAST MONTH I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND I WAS PULLED OVER MY A POLICE OFFICER BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHTS WERE OUT. AFTER EXPLAINING THAT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED THE OFFICER CHECKED MY LIGHTS AND ALL WERE WORKING EXCEPT MY HEADLIGHTS, THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WAS WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS WHICH WERE ANNOYING ALOT OF PEOPLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND AFTER RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC AND CHECKING IT MANUALLY HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT MY HEADLIGHTS STILL DON'T WORK. I HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS. *TR

THE POWER DOOR LOCKS CEASE TO WORK. WHEN THE CAR REACHES 20MPH THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK. THE PROBLEM CAN BE REMEDIED BY PULLING THE FUSE AND THEN REPLACING, BUT THAT IS A HUGE HASSLE. IT HAPPENS EVERY 3 WEEKS OR SO. *TR

I USED THE TURN SIGNAL TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND WHEN I GLANCED AT THE DASHBOARD, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS BLINKING. IT OCCURRED EVERY DAY FOR A WEEK AND THEN LESS FREQUENT. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED FOR TWO WEEKS. I WAS STOPPED WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. OTHER TIMES I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT FOR REPAIR AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE THEY HAD THE VAN. *TR
