Example complaints

“I have a problem with my 1999 Grand Caravan, the air bag light is on and the horn will not blow, and the cruise won't work. I got in contact with chrysler and they told me they don't know of a recall. It is dangerous to drive a car with no horn, and what if the airbag comes out and cause an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10086198, filed 2004-08, 148,000 miles“We purchased a used 1999 Grand Caravan. Through research we found the clockspring was the problem. Crysler refuses to fix it because they said a different part was used after the last recall. They said save our receipt and if there actually a recall we would be reimbursed 100%.”
NHTSA complaint #10049681, filed 2003-12, 86,800 miles“Airbag light came on, horn doesn't work, cruise control doesn't work. Took it to the dealer said that there had been some recalls on it but not on my model...did some research and found that this is a consistant problem on the caravans including my model.”
NHTSA complaint #10079077, filed 2004-06, 138,000 miles“Everytime I am going downhill or steep roads, I have no control of my cars deceleration except by using my brakes. I have no manual override for downshifting or engine braking. This causes my brakes to overheat and fade. My car is equipped with an autostick (manual electronic shift), which the controls for are on the shifter handle on the column. The wire inside the shifter handle loses its connection or gets cut at the pivot point, making it non-operational. I've called my local dealer for the parts needed (autostick shifter lever) and they said, that part has been on backorder nationwide. …”
