2002 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

IN MY 2002 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. MY AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR TWO DAYS. THEN IT WOULD GO OFF FOR THREE DAYS. IF I TURN MY WHEELS TO THE LEFT IT WOULD COME ON THEN IT WOULD GO OFF. WHEN I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE TO CHECK OUT WHY THAT LIGHT WAS ON HE STATED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED. BUT IT NEVER CAME BACK ON TILL A WEEK LATER. *TR

SWAY BARS & BUSHINGS NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND I HAVE HAD THEM RELACED EVERY 2 YEARS SINCE THEN. *TR

THE POWER DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2002 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAVE STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING TO THIS FAILURE, JUST WORKING ONE DAY AND NOT THE NEXT. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING HASN'T BEEN DONE TO CORRECT IT. IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO CATCH FIRE HOW WOULD ANYONE BE ABLE TO GET OUT. *TR

2002 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SLIDING DOOR LOCKS AND CAN'T BE OPENED MANUALLY OR REMOTELY. PASSENGERS MUST EXIT OPPOSITE SIDE OF CAR. STARTED 3 DAYS AGO, HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO BRING TO DEALER YET. THIS COMPLAINT IS COMMON ON SITE: HTTP://AUTOFORUM.CLASSIFIEDS1000.COM/DODGE-GRAND_CARAVAN/POWER_LOCKS_WILL_NOT_LOCK_OR_UNLOCK. *TR

TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND QUICKLY FAILED. RESULTED IN ACCIDENT. NOTICED FLUID LEAK IN THE ROAD WHERE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. *TR

INCIDENT OCCURRED AUG 2008. THE OWNERS MANUAL AND DEALER SERVICE MANAGER REPORT BRAKES REVERT BACK TO STANDARD BRAKES AND VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN. THIS IS NOT SO!!! IN MY FOLLOWING EXPERIENCE, WHEN ABS LIGHT COMES ON, VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. I HAD FRONT DISK PADS REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. AFTER 2 DAYS, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. OWNERS MANUAL, CONFIRMED BY SERVICE MANAGER REPORTS BRAKES DEFAULT BACK TO STANDARD BRAKES. NOT TRUE. BRAKES WERE SLIGHTLY ENGAGED AND OVERHEATING. I WAS TOLD IT MAY TAKE UP TO 5000 MILES FOR NEW BRAKE PADS TO "BREAK IN" AND NOT TO WORRY. APPLYING MY BRAKES RESULTED IN PEDAL GOING TO FLOOR AND A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THIS WAS LATER DETERMINED TO BE THE MASTER ABS MODULE. DEALER INSPECTION RESULTED IN A DEFECTIVE ABS SIGNAL SENSOR TO THE REAR LEFT BRAKE. REPLACEMENT CURED ALL OF THE ABOVE PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE AND PERHAPS ALL OTHERS OF THIS TYPE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN WHEN THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON. *TR

WE OWN A 2002 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, WE WERE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE REAR WINDOW BLEW OUT A HOLE ABOUT 10X12 INCHES AND SHATTERED THE ENTIRE REST OF THE WINDOW. *TR

2002 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SOMETIMES THE FUEL GAUGE WILL GO TO EMPTY SUDDENLY, AND A LITTLE LATER, IT WILL GO BACK TO THE ACTUAL READING. IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY, BUT I DID NOT KNOW THAT IT COULD BE REPORTED. THANK YOU *TR

TWICE EARLIER THIS YEAR I HAD TWO POWER STEERING HOSES BLOW OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING. HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY PULL-OVER AND HAVE VEHICLE TOWED. *TR
