NHTSA complaint #10704346, filed 2015-04, 159,200 miles“I own a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan, which has cruise control installed. There are two buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, engage/disengage which engages the system, and set, which sets the system on the speed selected. There are three buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, accel/resume, cancel which cancels the last setting set, and decel. About 50% of the time when I 'cancel' the last setting engaged, after 1 to 3 seconds the system will re-engage and accelerate toward the speed previously selected. …”
NHTSA complaint #10219847, filed 2008-03, 90,000 miles“At 7,600 miles in november of 2002 the automatic transmission failed. Dealer replaced the transmission with a rebuilt one. Since then the speedometer reads incorrectly. At lower speeds it reads under by 4 to 7 MPH, at higher speeds -- 60 MPH it reads 15 - 20 MPH under. I discovered this when on a road trip I was stopped for going 85 when I thought I was going 68 in a 70mph zone. I thought the police officer was crazy -- even protested and had him verify the callibration of his radar. His reading was confirmed when I passed a roadside speed indicator, and was stopped again. …”
