Example complaints

Electrical system: “On or about april 5, 2007, I brought my 2001 Dodge caravan to a local Dodge dealer for the repair of the speedometer on my car which stopped functioning & stopped measuring the speed of my vehicle. The dealer kept the car for one day and claimed that they recalibrated the speedometer and all is well. Approximately three months later, the speedometer ceased working again. So, on or about july 19,2007, I called merrick Dodge & requested an immediate appointment because of the safety hazard of driving a vehicle without a working speedometer. …”

Steering: “At approximately 59,000 miles on the odometer, I was driving on a city street in hot weather conditions with the air conditioner on and attempted turning right into a parking lot and the power assist went out on the steering. I had to use all my might to get the wheel to make the 90 degree turn. After experiencing this, I had to fight to get the VAN into a parking spot. I turned off the engine, opened the windows, and called a tow truck. …”

Suspension: “My husband and I own a 2001 grand caravan. We love the VAN very much. We starting hearing a stange noise coming from the front end. We took it in to a dealership near us and we were told the swaybar end links and bushing we gone. Luckily we had an extended warrnaty to cover the cost of it. We feel that is is not a wear and tear, this is a defect and should be recalled. I have read on the internet that other people are having the same problem and are being told that it is wear and tear. We have owned alot of cars and not one of them ever had a swaybar link problem. …”
