2008 Dodge Caravan Body and structure Problems

“Originally had taken car in for recall. The recall was for both doors. The dealer had delivered the car and told me I would be contacted for repair on the passenger door once the parts were in stock. After months of waiting I finally contacted them and was told that the parts were in stock. I made the appointment and when I was set to drop off the van I was told that I was going to be charged because it has been put in as complete in the dealers records but showed parts not installed. I was told to contact Dodge and left the van there overnight. …”

“Incident we took our 2008 Dodge Caravan it in a month ago one of the problems we were having was the driver side rear sliding door wasn't closing properly so we had them adjust it. We took it in a month later to fix other problems and the door they adjusted on the drivers side just fell off in my driveway and I am again without an automobile. The van door works in two ways. One, you can push a button and close the door, or two, you can click the inside handle and slide the door over until the motor grabs it and closes it. The way the door is mounted in the rear track is very inadequate. …”

“2008 Dodge Caravan rear door the automatic door was beeping it was closing after I pushed the button. I dropped my keys and reached down to get them forgetting the door was closing. The door came down on my right arm just below the should causing a large bruise. The door continued closing after it hit me. This is the 2nd incident I have had with the van since I purchased it dec. 31, 2008. The other time it was a similar incident I dropped something and the door hit me quite hard in the head and did not stop closing. I believe the door should stop closing if something gets between it.”
