“2009 Dodge Caravan - sliding doors are not held far enough away from van body resulting in paint being scratched off rear quarter panel above and beside wheel well every time you open doors. Most prevalent when parked on an incline facing upwards as weight of door on pivot point brings door even closer to body resulting in impact and scratches. Has been repaired by Dodge 3 times now on my vehicle alone. Has resulted in my case with Dodge sending van in for bodywork to have dents pulled and filled, new paint and rental vehicles supplied free under warranty for several days every time. …”
