“The airbag light turns on at the beginning when a child or a light load is in the passenger's seat. It then turns off once I start going. I don't know if that means that it is on or off and am concerned. Secondly, I recently had to repair the runner on the drivers side back sliding door. The wire that went through the middle of it was in jeopardy of getting damaged if I didn't. I had to pay $350 to get this repaired. It looks like I'll have to be repairing the passenger's side in the future as it is showing signs of deterioration.”

“2007 Dodge Caravan rear hatch problem. This problem first occurred in july of 2007 and is becoming worse. The rear hatch door seems to be effected by temperature. When it is hot the hatch will not open with the use of the electronic key fob or buttons located in the headliner above the driver. When it is cold the hatch will open appear to come to a stop in the open position and then on its own will close. It does not sense when a person or object is in the way and will continue to close. It will also close and reopen when you attempt to close the hatch electronically. …”

“The vehicle has an unusual amount of rust on the door panels and bottom chase. I've had to replace the muffler due to rust and you can visibly see near the door panels a hole is forming due to damages from rust/corrosion. The vehicle is typically kept indoors and should not be experiencing these kinds of damages.”
