MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ACCIDENTALLY KNOCKED THE SHIFTING LEVER OUT OF PARK WITH OUT HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE VAN WENT IN TO NEUTRAL AND CAME DOWN OUR DRIVE WAY AND HIT A SNOWBANK COMING CLOSE TO A FOOT FROM HITTING MY HOME. THE DOOR HIT MY HUSBAND'S TRUCK AND CRUSHED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON THE VAN INTO THE FENDER. THE LIFT GATE ON THE BACK CAVED IN. LUCKILY MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO GET OUT FROM BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE VAN BEFORE IT ROLLED. IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE SHIFTED WITH OUT THE BRAKE BEING PRESSED. *TR

FIRST THE CAR WOULD DIE OUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME. WOULD BE DRIVING AROUND WITH CHILDREN AND WIFE ON FREEWAY OR BUSY STREET AND ALL POWER WOULD JUST GO OUT. WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD TURN OFF THE ODOMETER WOULD SAY NO BUS AND CHECKED ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. TOOK DODGE DURAGO TO LOCAL DEALER SHIP TO GET CHECKED OUT AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM WOULDN'T SHOW UP ON THERE COMPUTERS. ITS CONSEQUENCES COULD BE THAT A LADY OR ELDER PERSON COULD BE DRIVING A DODGE DURANGO AND THIS HAPPENS TO THEM WELL YOU LOSE ALL POWER OF THE VEHICLE AND POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. WHAT IF THEY CANT CONTROL THIS THEY COULD GET INTO A WRECK AND DIE OR HURT OTHER PEOPLE.WHEN THIS HAPPEND TO MY WIFE SHE WAS ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE CAR.I HAVE READ MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH THIS SAME COMPLAINT WITH THE 99 DODGE DURANGO AND DODGE ACTS LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG I GUESS ITS GOING TO TAKE A MAJOR LAWSUIT FOR THEM TO OPEN THERE EYES. (3)WELL I PURCHASED A REBUILT POWER CONTROL MODULE (PCM)OR(ECM)AND FIXED THE PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY.YOU JUST GOT TO FIND A BUISNESS TO REBUILD IT FOR YOU AND THEN HAVE IT FLASHED.IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY EASILY TO BE REPLACED AND COULD SAVE A BUNCH OF LIVES.THANK YOU

1999 DODGE DURANGO SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM AT DEALERSHIP, REPLACED NON-DEFECTIVE PARTS, NOW ABOUT TO REPLACE THE PCM TO SEE IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT IN THIS CAR, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY A SEMI AS WELL AS ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE IT STOPS IN MID-TRAFFIC AND CAUSES NEAR-MISSES. I HAVE SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME ONLINE AND SEE THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING TO RECALL. I AM LOOKING INTO STARTING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST DODGE HERE OUT OF DENVER. MY LIFE IS TOO IMPORTANT, AND AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS THERE HAVE BEEN, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF A LONG TIME AGO! THE CAR SEEMS TO STALL WHEN IT IS HOT OUT, I JUST REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR...DON'T BOTHER...IT DIDN'T WORK! LAST BREAK DOWN WAS YESTERDAY. CALLED DODGE AND THEY CAN'T HELP ME UNLESS THEY HAVE DODGE PEOPLE DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM...PROBLEM IS YOU CAN'T DUPLICATE IT IN THE SHOP!*AK

Oct 30, 2006
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE MANUFACTURER DENIED REIMBURSEMENT FOR RECALL # 04V480000 REGARDING AIRBAGS. THE RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT, THEN THE HORN FAILED TO OPERATE 2 DAYS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE AIR BAG, THE HORN, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD ALL FAILED. THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED, WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. FIRST, THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THE REASON FOR DENIAL OF REIMBURSEMENT WAS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER THE SAME OWNERSHIP ANYMORE. THE SECOND TIME, THE GIVEN REASON FOR DENIAL WAS THAT THE RECALL NOTICE WAS SENT OUT IN 2004, BUT THE RECALL REPAIR WORK WAS PERFORMED IN 2006. THE THIRD AND FINAL TIME, THE REASON FOR DENIAL WAS THAT THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THE REASON THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP AS OPPOSED TO A DEALER, WAS THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT NEVER ILLUMINATED. UPDATED 11/14/06. *JB

1999 CARAVAN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHEN THE CONSUMER WAS REAR ENDED. *TS THE AIR BAGS SHOULD ONLY HAVE DEPLOYED DURING A FRONTAL COLLISION, HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER WROTE THE CONSUMER EXPLAINING, THAT BASED ON THEIR INSPECTION, IT WAS REVEALED THE VEHICLE HAD SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. *JB
Feb 14, 2006
MY 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WARNING LIGHT CAME FOR THE AIRBAG. I ALSO LOST THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE HORN. THIS ALL HAPPENED ON 11/4/05. I STARTED UP THE CAR AND THEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON.

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD A RECALL OR RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS MATTER. THANK YOU IN ADVANCED. *JB

I HAVE 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND NOTICED RUST BUBBLES AT THE TOP OF THE STRUT TOWER MOUNTS WITH A ROUTINE INSPECTION. THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. I KNOCKED ON THE AREA WITH MY HAND AND ABOUT HALF OF THE STRUT TOWER METAL SUPPORT FELL APART! THE STRUT SUPPORT IS NOW JUST BEING HELD IN PLACE WITH ONE NUT AND MINIMAL METAL. I WENT ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER MINIVANS AND THAT CHRYSLER HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND HAD ISSUED A TECHNICAL SALES BULLETIN BACK IN 2002 ON THIS STRUT TOWER RUST PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A WARRANTY ISSUE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL YEARS AGO. CONSIDERING THAT THESE MINIVANS ARE USED PRIMARILY AS A FAMILY TRANSPORT VEHICLE, THIS RUST PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALLED ASAP! THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEHICLES INCLUDING AN OLDER CAR DRIVING IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT. *TR

1999 AWD ABS GRAND CARAVAN, PERSONAL USE ONLY , NO TOWING, MILD NJ WINTER CONDITIONS. CAR PARKED FOR THREE DAYS AFTER EXTENDED TRIP (2,880 MILES OVER 3WEEKS)AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH NO PROBLEMS.ON SECOND LEG OF K-TURN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REPOSITION CAR IN DRIVEWAY (SPEED LESS THAN 5MILES/ HR) BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY DEPRRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. INSPECTING BELOW THE VAN SHOWED BRAKE FLUID LEAK FROM A RUPTURED REAR BRAKE LINE CLOSE TO BRAIDED FLEX LINE CLOSE TO ABS MODULE. ALL STEEL LINES FOUND TO BE EXTENSIVELY CORRODED /RUSTED UP TO AND INVOLVING FIXTURES AT ATTACHMENT TO INNER BRAKE HOSES AT THE REAR, UP TO THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE FRONT WHEEL LINES AT THE ATTACHMENT TO FRONT HOSES. DODGE DEALERSHIP (AUTOLAND) TOTALLY HANDS-OFF IN TRYING TO ADDRESS THIS GLARING SAFETY ISSUE - "NO RECALLS, NO MECHANISMS TO REPORT THIS ISSUE TO CHRYSLER", MORE INFURIATING IS THAT NO REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS, THEY HAVE ALL BEEN DISCONTINUED....RIGHT AT THE TIME THAT MOST OF THESE CARS WILL BE NEEDING THE BRAKING PLUMBING CHANGED!!! MEANWHILE THERE ALL THESE TICKING TIME BOMBS OF CARAVANS OUT THERE WITH TENUOUS BRAKING ABILITY ONCE THESE DEFECTIVE LINES RUPTURE. PLEASE RECALL THESE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES, BEFORE SOMEBODY'S FAMILY CRIES!!! I SHUDDER TO THINK THIS COULD HAVE OCCURRED DURING MY LONG ROAD TRIP. *TR

AS MY FRIEND WHO BORROWED MY VEHICLE APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION IN ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED, CAUSING HER TO COLLIDE INTO A VEHICLE WHICH CONSEQUENTLY HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE POLICE REPORT CORRECTLY INDICATES NO OPERATOR FAULT, BUT RATHER A FAULTY BRAKE LINE WHICH BURST, LEAVING A POOL OF BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. MOST VEHICLES HAVE A BRAKING SYSTEM THAT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES TO FAIL SIMULTANEOUSLY. UNFORTUNATELY THE 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN DOES NOT HAVE SUCH A SYSTEM. ALL BRAKES WERE LOST, MY VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE (WHICH WAS TOTALED AND RESULTED IN AN INJURED DRIVER) WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. THE BRAKES THEMSELVES WERE INSPECTED WEEKS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT BUT THE BRAKE LINE RUSTED AND CREATED THE INCIDENT.

LOSS OF BRAKES DUE TO REAR BRAKE LINE RUSTING OUT NEAR ABS CONTROL AT THE STAINLESS STEEL LINE CONNECTIONS.. *TR
Jul 03, 2010
TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE ON 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. REAR BRAKE LINE RUPTURED WERE SOLID LINE MEETS BRAIDED LINE UNDER DRIVER SIDE OF CAR AND NEAR ANTI LOCK BRAKE MODULE. LOSS OF BRAKING FORCED ME TO DRIVE VEHICLE ONTO SOMEONE'S LAWN TO AVOID A REAR END IMPACT OF A CAR MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A SINGLE LANE ROAD. EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS USED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. FAILURE WAS ABRUPT WITH NO PRIOR VISUAL EVIDENCE OF LEAKING ON MY DRIVEWAY OR IN THE PARKING SPOT OF MY WORKPLACE. RED BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER IT WAS TOO LATE. REAR BRAKE LINES WERE REPLACED WITH SOLID LINES AT A COST OF $290.00. REPAIR WAS COMPLETED ON 06/21/10. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
38 complaints
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONED AND ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUNCTIONS STOPPED WORKING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES OPERATED INTERMITTENTLY, SUCH AS THE FUEL GAUGE AND THE ODOMETER. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 170,000.
Sep 21, 2017
WHILE DRIVING, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL GO BLANK. INSTRUMENTS: GAS GAUGE, TEMPERATURE, AND SPEEDOMETER NEEDLES WILL GO TO ZERO. DIGITAL READOUTS GO BLANK. NORMAL FUNCTION RETURNS USUALLY IN MINUTES AND SOMETIMES FASTER IF I HIT THE DASHBOARD WITH MY HAND. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THIS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS YEAR MODELS OF DODGE MINIVANS. THIS ISSUE IS DESCRIBED AS A COMPUTER COMMUNICATION PROBLEM CAUSED BY FAULTY CONNECTIONS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT INTERRUPT THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE THREE ONBOARD COMPUTERS. WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT TO THE DASH, INDICATING A CONNECTION PROBLEM, WILL MY AIRBAGS STILL WORK? THE ERROR CODE FOR THIS MALFUNCTION IS: P1698. *TR
Jul 01, 2014
DRIVING DOWN ROAD AS USUAL AND ALL THE DASH COMPONENTS WENT DOWN I HIT A BUMP AND THEY CAME BACK UP OR IF I SLAP THE TOP OF IT THEY WILL COME BACK ON. I LIKE KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE,HOW FAST I'M GOING OR EVEN IF I'M OVERHEATING. AND I DO CARRY A DISABLED PERSON PLUS MY SELF SO WE DEPEND ON THIS EVERYDAY. *TR
Jun 21, 2014
BOTH ORIGINAL KEYS AND SPARES CAN BE REMOVED WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AND IN ANY GEAR. THE VAN ALSO HAS A FAILURE TO START THAT RESEMBLES A DEAD BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND IS COMPLETELY RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN SERVICED FOR RECALL 04V480000 (AIR BAGS). A MONTH AFTER BEING REPAIRED, THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE SAME FAILURE WHICH WAS THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL, WINDOWS, RADIO, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HORN, LIGHTS, DOOR LOCKS AND RADIO DID NOT FUNCTION ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS.

THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 178,000.

SEAT BELTS
18 complaints
I WAS TRYING TO INSTALL MY CARSEAT WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE REAR THREE POINT SEATBELTS DON'T FUNCTION PROPERLY. YES, YOU CAN BUCKLE UP AND FEEL SECURE BUT WHEN I TESTED THEM I NOTICED THE DON'T LOCK IN PLACE IF JERKED ON OR WHEN PULLED ALL THE WAY OUT. THAT MAKES THEM USELESS TO ME BECAUSE YOU CAN'T USE THEM TO TIGHTEN DOWN A CARSEAT AND THEY WON'T KEEP YOU FROM GOING OUT THE WINDOW IN AN ACCIDENT. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE WOULD PUT INADEQUATE AND NON-FUNCTIONING SEATBELT IN A FAMILY VEHICLE, BUT I GUESS THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LET ROBOTS BUILD YOUR CARS. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY RECALL INFO OR ADVICE. *TR
May 12, 2008
SEAT BELTS IN MIDDLE ROW NO LONGER LATCH. TONGUE INSERTS BUT DOES NOT CATCH. RIGHT REAR SEAT BELT OFTEN FAILS TO FEED ENOUGH BELT OUT TO PERMIT BUCKLING. *TR
Mar 04, 2008
THE SEAT BELTS IN MY 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN KEEP SEIZING. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO BUCKLE THE BELTS AND THEN ONCE THEY ARE BUCKLED IT IS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO UNBUCKLE THE BELTS. *JB
Jan 31, 2004
I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER IS STILL INSTALLING SEATBELTS (GEN3) IN THEIR VEHICLES AND HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY SEATBELTS. THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS AS WELL AS DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GET FREE REPLACEMENT OF MY BUCKLES OF MY MINIVAN AND SEE THAT THIS SORT OF NONSENSE REGARDING THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS IN VEHICLES IS STOPPED NOW, BEFORE OTHERS ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT. THIS SORT OF INFORMATION REGARDING FAULTY BUCKLES IS EXTREMELY DISTURBING AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.*AK
Jan 09, 2004
MY SEAT BELTS KEEP COMING UNLATCHED. I HAVE GENERATION 3 SEAT BELTS. MY DAUGHTER'S CAR SEAT HAS COME UNDONE OVER 5 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS OF OWNERSHIP OF THIS CAR. MY TWO CLIENTS, WHO ARE SEMI-OVER WEIGHT, WHEN THEY SHIFT THEIR BODIES AROUND, THEIR BELTS COME UNDONE. IT IS BECOMING AN ISSUE WITH MY CLIENTS AND I FEAR THAT ONE DAY I MAY NOT NOTICE THEY ARE UNDONE. THE LAST TIME A SEAT BELT CAME UNDONE WAS YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. BUT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR. *LA

STEERING
15 complaints
ON GOING PROBLEM, WITH MYSELF AND PREVIOUS OWNERS. NEVER ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER AND NO RECALL EVER DONE. WHEN DRIVING ON WET ROADS THE SERPENTINE BELT COMES OFF LEAVING YOU WITH NO POWER STEERING AND LOSS OF CONTROL IF GOING AT NORMAL SPEEDS AND ON A CURVE. IT IS A WELL KNOW PROBLEM AND HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. THEY JUST SAY THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL AND REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS SO PREVALENT THAT GATES HAS MADE A REPLACEMENT PULLEY AND BELT TO FIX IT, BUT IT COSTS ABOUT $120.00 AND CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THE FIX AND INSTALLATION. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF? *TR
Aug 16, 2013
THE SERPENTINE BELT ON THE PULLEY SYSTEM CAME OFF ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THEN ON 6-8-07 THE BELT NOT ONLY CAME OFF AGAIN, BUT THE P/S WHEEL {NOT SURE IF THAT'S THE CORRECT NAME FOR IT} OR PULLEY METAL BRACKET, BROKE COMPLETELY OFF. SO NOW I CAN'T EVEN REPLACE THE BELT THIS TIME, AS THEIR IS NOTHING THERE FOR THE BELT TO MELD/ADHERE TO. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT OR PROBLEM, MANY CONSUMERS ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME TYPES OF PROBLEMS WITH THE BELTS COMING OFF. BEFORE I INVEST ANYMORE MONEY WITH BELTS AND KITS AND SUCH, I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY RECALLS REGARDING THE "TENSIONER PULLEY SYSTEM." PLEASE EMAIL ME REGARDING THE ABOVE MENTIONED. THANKS, R.JONAK [email protected]

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH 57000 AT PRESENT. WHEN WE HAD 47000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, WE WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING. UPON TAKING THE VAN TO THE DEALER WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION TO THE TUNE OF $1350.00 DOLLARS WITH OUT ASSISTANCE FROM CHRYSLER. AT PRESENT WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING PROBLEM SUCH AS THE VAN WONDERS AND HARD TO STEER. IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE SERPENTINE BELT HAS COME OFF AND HAD TO BE REPLACE 5 TIMES AFTER OR DURING A RAIN STORM SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. IT APPEARS A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS, AND ALTHOUGH MY VAN IS A 1999 MODEL I SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH ONLY 57000 MILES, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD CONDUCT A MASSIVE RECALL TO REPAIR AND CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS. *NM
Jan 23, 2007
I HAVE A 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, AT 48,000 MILES I HAD TO HAVE THE RACK & PINION REPLACED IN THE VEHICLE AT THE COST OF $1300.00 DOLLARS. CHRYSLER WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT. I HAVE HEARD OF ANOTHER CASE IN POINT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THIS IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF MILES SINCE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY MY WIFE TO AND FROM WORK ONLY ON STREET SURFACE. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED TO SEE HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND REQUIRE CHRYSLER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. *JB
Nov 15, 2005
I HAVE A 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. A BOLT THAT IS IN THE RACK AND PINION STEERING BAR CAME OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WE STOPPED AT A GAS STATION DRIVING SOUTH ON 95. WHEN WE STARTED DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN, I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT IN ITS NORMAL POSITION WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH NORMALLY HAS THE REMOTE CONTROLS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER (CONTROLS ARE TO BE AT 3:00 ON THE RIGHT AND 9:00 ON THE LEFT), HAD SHIFTED TO ABOUT ALMOST 6:00 FOR THE RIGHT AND 12:00 FOR THE LEFT. I COULD STILL CONTROL THE VAN, SO I PULLED OFF ON THE NEXT EXIT. THE GARAGE MECHANIC CHECKED AND REALIZED THE BOLT UNDERNEATH HAD COME OFF. HE FOUND ANOTHER BOLT THE SAME SIZE AND PUT IT BACK IN. I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION IN FLORIDA THE NEXT DAY AND TOOK THE VAN TO A NTB STORE. THEY CHECKED OUT THE NEW BOLT AND THE ALIGNMENT OF THE VAN AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED OKAY. *AK

ON DEC 30, 2004 I PURCHASED 4 NEW COOPER TIRES LABELED SIGMA REGENT (SG00721655). ON JUNE 13, 2006 I REPLACED ONE OF THESE TIRES DUE TO TREAD SEPARATION (23,924 MILES). ON OCT 12, 2006 I REPLACED TWO MORE OF THE ORIGINAL FOUR TIRES DUE TO TREAD SEPARATION (28,405 MILES). THAT IS THREE OUT OF FOUR TIRES THAT DEVELOPED TREAD SEPARATION. FORTUNATELY, I NOTICED EACH EVENT BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. NONETHELESS, I THINK YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE TREAD SEPARATION PROBLEMS WE'VE HAD WITH COOPER TIRES. P.S. YOUR FORM DID ALLOW FOR THE ACTUAL TIRE SIZE I PURCHASED. THE TIRES I PURCHASED ARE: 215/65SR15, 9M65. *NM

Aug 26, 2010
MY 1999 CARAVAN HAS THE LEFT DRIVER'S SIDE SHOCK TOWER RUSTED OUT. THE IS A COMMON FLAW AND A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BY THE DEALER AND REPAIRED. THEY'VE HAD SO MANY VANS DO THIS, THEY CREATED A REPAIR PART KIT. IF THE SHOCK BREAKS THROUGH WHILE DRIVING, SEVERE INJURIES DUE TO LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WILL LIKELY OCCUR. *TR
Jun 18, 2010
WHILE REPAIRING A FAULTY STRUT IN THE FRONT END I DISCOVERED A RUSTED THROUGH TOWER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE HOLE IS ABOUT ONE-THIRD THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TOP OF THE TOWER. THE TOP IS ALSO PARTIALLY BENT UPWARDS FROM THE FORCE OF THE STRUT PUSHING UP. IF THIS BREAKS THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SUSPENSION WILL COLLAPSE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. DODGE ISSUED TSB 23-044-02 TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, THE DEALER I TALKED TO, HERB CHAMBERS IN DANVERS MASS., SAID THE RIGHT WAY TO FIX IT IS TO REMOVE THE MOTOR AND WELD IN A NEW TOWER. THIS IS VERY COSTLY, PROBABLY MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE VAN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DODGE SHOULD RECALL AND PAY FOR! *TR
Nov 03, 2009
WE BOUGHT OUR DODGE GRAND CARAVAN NEW IN 1999. TODAY (MAY 13,2009) I WENT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE STRUT MOUNT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS RUSTING AWAY. ONE-QUARTER TO ONE-THIRD OF THE METAL SUPPORTING THE STRUT MOUNT WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. IT WAS LARGE ENOUGH THAT YOU COULD HAVE STUCK YOUR HAND THROUGH IT. I THEN TOOK IT TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP THEY THEN CALLED THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP REGARDING ANY HISTORY OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED A HISTORY OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM AND SAID A "KIT" WAS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. THE BODY SHOP SAID IF THERE WAS A REPAIR KIT FOR THIS THEN THAT MEANS THAT THIS WAS BY NO MEANS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. HE ALSO SAID HE WAS SHOCKED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL OR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

Aug 19, 2007
MY CAR WAS REAR ENDED BY A LARGE PICKUP ON THE FREEWAY. IMMEDIATELY ON IMPACT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BACK WENT INTO A RECLINED POSITION. THEREFORE, THE ONLY SAFETY DEVICE OPERATIONAL WAS THE LAP BELT AS THE SHOULDER BELT AND HEAD REST DEPEND ON THE SEAT BACK TO BE OF ANY USE AND THE AIRBAG ONLY DEPLOYS IN A FRONT END CRASH. THIS LED TO MY UPPER BODY BEING JERKED ALL OVER THE FRONT OF THE CAR. DODGE'S RESPONSE IS THAT THE SEAT BACK IS SUPPOSED TO DO THIS IN A REAR END CRASH. I FIND THIS RATHER INCREDIBLE AS THAT LEAVES ONLY THE LAP BELT FUNCTIONAL. *JB
Jul 04, 2006
VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND STRUCK FROM BEHIND. BOTH FRONT SEAT BACKS BROKE REARWARD INTO A FULLY RECLINED POSITION. THE DRIVERS SEAT STRUCK A 4 YEAR OLD CHILD WHO WAS SEATED IN THE SECOND ROW AND RESTRAINED WITH THE LAP-SHOULDER BELT. THE CHILD SUFFERED HEAD INJURIES.
Feb 14, 2004

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
8 complaints
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. I'VE ALSO WENT ONLINE AND TALKED TO A FEW OWNERS OF THE SAME TYPE VEHICLE AND THEY HAD EXACTLY THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THE CUT WIRE BECAUSE THE SHIFTER HANDLE IS A SEALED UNIT. *TR

ON MY 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AWD 3.8 LITER 4 SPEED AUTOMATIC THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO LIMP MODE,SPEEDOMETER,ODOMETER QUIT WORKING AND THE GAS GAUGE IS WACKY. HAD THE CODES READ AND THEY CAME BACK AS SPEED SENSOR MALFUNCTION AND TCM NOT COMMUNICATING WITH PCM. I CHANGE THE SPEED SENSORS AND THE TCM AND PAID A DEALER TO DO A "QUICK LEARN PROCEDURE"AND DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE PROCEDURE WON'T WORK BECAUSE ONE OF THE COMPONENTS WON'T COMMUNICATE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH A CANYON IN UTAH ON HIGHWAY 6 KNOWN AS "ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS HIGHWAYS IN UTAH"WHILE MY 4 CHILDREN AND WIFE WERE IN THE VEHICLE.IT HAS STILL NOT BEEN FIXED AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THE DEALER AND I HAVE NO WARRANTY. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO FIX MYSELF IF SOMEONE AT CHRYSLER WOULD AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT TO FIX! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THE SPEEDO GOING OUT AND THE TRANNY NOT SHIFTING!!! THIS HAPPENED AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON UNTIL AFTER IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE. *NM

CONSUMER THEN GOT INTO THE BREAK DOWN LANE AND PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO 65 MPH. CONSUMER FINALLY TURNED THE IGNITION OFF TO STOP THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER CALLED CONCORD STATE POLICE TO ASSIST.

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH 70K MILES. OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO, THE TURN SIGNALS HAVE INTERMITTENTLY FAILED, USUALLY THE LEFT SIGNAL. SOMETIMES THE SIGNALS WON'T WORK WHEN FIRST APPLIED, BUT THEN SUDDENLY START WORKING AGAIN. I FINALLY TRACED THE PROBLEM TO THE "TURN SIGNAL/EMERGENCY FLASHER" MODULE, CHRYSLER PART # 4686190. THE MODULE ITSELF IS FINE, BUT THROUGH ROAD VIBRATION THE MODULE LOSES FULL CONTACT WITH ITS RECEPTACLE. BECAUSE THE MODULE IS PLUGGED INTO A FUSE BLOCK SIDEWAYS, THE PART IS FAIRLY LARGE, AND NOT BALANCED, THE DESIGN CONTRIBUTES TO THE MODULE BREAKING CONTACT WITH ITS RECEPTACLE.

STEERING,ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

MY SERPENTINE BELT FALLS OFF EVERY TIME IT GETS WET. IT FALLS OFF IN HEAVY RAIN, IT FALLS OFF IN SNOW. AS YOU COULD IMAGINE WHEN YOU SUDDENLY DON'T HAVE STEERING ON WET AND/OR ICY ROADS IT BECOMES VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IN A FAMILY VAN. EVEN AFTER I GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I HAVE TO GET THE BELT BACK ON. ROAD SIDE REPAIRS ARE NEVER SAFE OR EASY BUT THEY ARE MADE EVEN MORE SO WHEN DONE IN THE RAIN OR IN A BLIZZARD WHEN IT'S 60 BELOW WIND CHILL. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED!!!!! *TR

SERPENTINE BELT CAME OFF PULLEYS WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN. LOST ABILITY TO STEER VAN. HEADED DIRECTLY FOR ANOTHER CAR AND COLLISION NARROWLY AVOIDED. BELT COMING OFF WHEN WET APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS SERIES VAN, AND WOULD SEEM TO BE A VERY SERIOUS HAZARD. IT IS BEYOND ME WHY DODGE IS NOT REQUIRED TO RETROFIT A BETTER BELT/PULLEY SYSTEM (WHICH DOES EXIST AND IS ON THE MARKET). *TR
Mar 25, 2011
1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 3.3L. SERPENTINE BELT SLIPS OFF PULLEYS WHEN DRIVING IN WET CONDITIONS, EVEN SLIGHTLY. THIS PRODUCES AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, WATER PUMP, ETC., AND WITHIN 15-20 SECONDS THE VEHICLE OVERHEATS. THIS CREATES SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD WITH IMPAIRED STEERING ABILITY ALONG WITH ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE VEHICLE FROM TRAFFIC BEFORE IT OVERHEATS, STALLS, OR ENGINE CATCHES FIRE. THIS SLIPPAGE OCCURS CONSISTENTLY TO THE POINT WE MUST AVOID DRIVING WHEN RAINING (EVEN DRIZZLING) OR EVEN IF ROADS ARE STILL MOIST AFTER A RAIN. WE FOUND HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT AFFECTING NUMEROUS MODEL YEAR DODGE CARAVANS, AS WELL AS CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VAN. TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS STATED THE CAUSE IS POOR DESIGN OF THE PULLEY SYSTEM. TWO OF THE PULLEYS ARE SMOOTH-SURFACED AND ONE SIDE OF THE SERPENTINE BELT IS SMOOTH. WHEN A LIQUID (RAIN/SNOW/LUBRICANT, ETC.) IS INTRODUCED TO THE PULLEY SYSTEM, THESE SMOOTH SURFACES ALLOW THE BELT TO EASILY SLIP OFF. DODGE OFFERS TO REPLACE THE TWO SMOOTH PULLEYS WITH GROOVED PULLEYS, AS WELL AS PROVIDE A SERPENTINE BELT WITH DUAL SIDED GROOVES FOR AROUND $400. THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, BUT RATHER A POOR DESIGN THAT HAS CONTINUED FOR OVER A DECADE DESPITE EARLY COMPLAINTS. CONSUMERS HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS IN TOWING AND REPAIRS FOR THIS PROBLEM. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY TO FIX THE MANUFACTURERS' SAFETY DEFECTS AND ADD TO THEIR PROFITS IN DOING SO. WAS IT AN INTENTIONAL DEFECT TO BOOST SERVICE DEPT PROFITS? THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY AND SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL TO REPLACE THE TWO PULLEYS AND SERPENTINE BELT. *TR

THE SERPENTINE BELT CAME OFF SEVERAL TIMES IN THE RAIN , ON OUR 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I HAD GONE THROUGH A PUDDLE AND AS I TURNED A CORNER I LOST POWER STEERING. I MADE IT ONTO THE SIDE GRASS AS I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN. I WAS ONLY A COUPLE FEET AWAY FROM HITTING A BRICK BUILDING. THIS WAS A VERY UNSETTLING EXPERIENCE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN. *TR

ON OCTOBER 26, 1999, THE ODOR BECAME STRONGER AND DECIDE TO TAKE IT TO DEALER AND WE WERE ADVISED THAT THE MILDEW BUILD UP INSIDE THE CONDENSATION BOX, THE DEALER MECHANIC JUST APPLIED A LYSOL SPRAY TO COUNTER THE ODOR. ON 11/30/99, MY WIFE AND SON GOT SICK AND BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER'S ATTENTION, AGAIN THEY APPLIED LYSOL SPRAY TO COUNTER THE ODOR. ON 12/16/99 AND 12/20/99, WAS RETURNED TO POWAY DODGE DUE TO CAUSING HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS TO SOME PASSENGERS. ON 3/27/00, MY SON GOT SICK AND VOMITED INSIDE THE VAN, WE BROUGHT THIS INCIDENT TO DEALER'S ATTENTION AGAIN AND THEY APPLIED THE SAME SOLUTION.

THE ON-THE COLUMN GEAR SHIFT LEVER MAY BE PLACED IN PARK AND NOT LOCK IN THE RECESSED PARK POSITION SO THAT THE LEVER AND TRANSMISSION MAY DROPPED INTO REVERSE SPONTANEOUSLY OR WITH VERY LITTLE PRESSURE. MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR BY PUSH IT WITH A TOOTH PICK. HE HAS A SIGNED AFFIDAVIT. THERE ARE IN ESSENCE 2 PARK POSITIONS THAT THE LEVER WILL REGISTER "PARK" ON THE LED INDICATOR ON THE DASH. ONE OF THEM IS THE "TRUE" PARK WHERE THE SHIFT LEVER ACTUALLY SITS BACK AND MUST BE PULLED TOWARD THE DRIVER BEFORE BEING ALLOWED TO BE POSITIONED DOWN INTO ANY GEAR. THE OTHER POSITION ALLOWS THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER TO REGISTER "PARK" ON THE LED AND THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK WHILE SITTING THERE BUT ANY VIBRATION COULD CAUSE IT TO SPONTANEOUSLY ENGAGE INTO REVERSE. IN THIS VERSION OF "PARK" THE SHIFT LEVER IS NOT POSITIONED BACK INTO THE LOCKED RECESS. THE FACT THAT THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IS WANTONLY BEING MANUFACTURED WITHOUT AN INTERLOCK MECHANISM, WHICH REQUIRES THE BRAKE TO BE DEPRESSED PRIOR TO SHIFTING, HAS EXACERBATED THE PROBLEM. HAD IT (AN INTERLOCK MECHANISM) HAVE BEEN ON THE VEHICLE MY WIFE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN HER ANKLE CRUSHED, BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL FOR THREE DAYS, BE FACING FURTHER SURGERY AND SKIN GRAFTING AS WELL AS PERMANENT DISFIGUREMENT. THERE IS AR TWO DEFECTS HERE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JOLTED, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR CAME TO A HALT. THERE WAS NEVER ANY WARNING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. ONCE TOWED, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ENGINE HAD FAILED AND WOULD NEED A NEW ONE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED ON A REGULAR BASIS. THIS HAPPENED IN FLORIDA, SO THE CAR NEEDED TO BE TOWED BACK TO OUR HOME IN SOUTH CAROLINA TO THE TUNE OF $1000.00. WE THEN HAD THE MECHANIC THAT WORKS ON THE CAR SEARCH FOR A SALVAGED ENGINE. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK, HE WAS ABLE TO LOCATE ONE AND PUT THAT IN THE CAR. THAT COST WAS ALMOST $3000.00. WE THEN STARTED EXPERIENCING ALL TYPES OF PROBLEMS...THE WINDOWS WOULDN'T WORK, THE ALTERNATOR WENT, THE BATTERY CONTINUED TO BE DRAINED. AFTER ALL THIS WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED, WE ARE OUT ALMOST $5500.00. THIS HAS INVOLVED A LOT OF TIME AND INCONVENIENCE TO OUR FAMILY SINCE THIS CAR IS THE PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR SON AT COLLEGE. HE HAS HAD TO TAKE ONE OF OUR CARS TO SCHOOL WHILE WE HAVE SPENT 3 MONTHS TRYING TO CORRECT ALL OF THESE ITEMS DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE. IN TALKING WITH THE CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS, THEY HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE ENGINE FAILURE SITUATION AND APPARENT "SLUG" IN THE LINES, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NOT HEARD IT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RECALL OR RE-IMBURSE THOSE OF US THAT HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS TO CORRECT THEIR PROBLEM. OUR BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT THIS CAR HAS ALL THESE NEW PARTS AND SHOULD LAST OUR SON THROUGH THE NEXT 4 YEARS OF COLLEGE, HOWEVER, WHAT'S NOT TO SAY THIS COULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE SALVAGED ENGINE?

SINCE PURCHASE OF VEHICLE WE HAVE HAD AN ONGOING NOISE FROM THE REAR AXLES OF THE VAN. WE HAVE REPORTED THIS AT EVERY SERVICE AND THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ONE OF THE REAR AXLES REPLACED. DEALER STATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 4 WHEEL DRIVE MINI-VANS AND THAT REDUCED MILAGE ON REAR BRAKES IS COMMON. WE HAD LESS THAN 30K MILES ON A SET OF REAR DISC BRAKES AND PAD FAILURE RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO ONE ROTOR.

WELL A FEW MONTHS AGO WE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH OUR 1999 GRAND CARAVAN. THE MILEAGE, GAS GAUGE, ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS IN THE VAN WITH IT RUNNING IN PARK . IT TURNED OUT BY A CERTIFIED TECH TO BE A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT BECAUSE IT WAS A WIRE WAS RUBBING ON A MANUFACTURER'S WELD LOCATED IN THE OVERHEAD COMPARTMENT AREA. SO WE PAID FOR IT TO BE FIXED $500 AND NO PROBLEM SINCE. SO CURRENTLY WE HAD OUR AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON ALONG WITH NO HORN OR CRUISE CONTROL. SO I CONTACTED DODGE LIKE SOME OF THESE SITES I READ SAID TO DO BECAUSE SOME OTHER PEOPLE HAD THEIRS WORKED ON FOR FREE AND I GOT A EMAIL WHICH STATES THEY WILL NOT WORK ON EITHER REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE ONE AND NOT EVEN FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I AM CURRENTLY NOT DRIVING THE VAN BECAUSE I WAITED FOR MY RESPONSE FROM DODGE. OUR VAN ONLY HAS AROUND 67,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE THE EMAIL FROM DODGE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SHOWING HOW THEY RESPOND. *JB

I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IN RAIN STORMS. TWICE NOW THE SERPENTINE BELT CAME OFF WHEN WATER IN THE ROAD SPRAYED ONTO THE BELT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE POWER STEERING, ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP, AND ALL OTHER COMPONENTS POWERED BY THE BELT STOP FUNCTIONING. THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT CAN HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEEDS. SERVICE BULLETIN 07-02-99, "SERPENTINE BELT SLIPS OFF IDLER PULLEY" INSTALLS A BRACKET TO PREVENT THIS. MY CONCERN IS THAT NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS SERVICE BULLETIN UNTIL THE BELT COMES OFF. THERE IS UNDUE RISK TO OWNERS OF THESE VANS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A VEHICLE RECALL NOT A SERVICE BULLETIN. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER VIA THE INTERNET (REFERENCE NUMBER: 7904321) AND WRITTEN TO JAMES HOLDEN'S OFFICE, CHRYSLER PRESIDENT . I WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT NHTSA AS THE INFORMATION WAS PROPRIETARY. I HAVE FRIENDS WITH THE SAME VAN THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN RAIN STORMS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE CHRYSLER TAKES A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO SOLVING THIS ON ALL VEHICLES EFFECTED? A VEHICLE RECALL IS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT INJURIES. I AM VERY DISSAPPOINTED IN CHRYSLER FOR ALLOWING ME AND MY FAMILY TO BE EXPOSED TO THIS DESIGN FLAW FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. JUST TODAY A FRIEND HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER CHRYSLER MINI VAN.

1999 GRAND CARAVAN - SERPENTINE BELT COMES OFF WHEN IT RAINS OR VEHICLE IS DRIVEN THROUGH WATER, EVEN MINOR AMOUNTS. CAUSES SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING ABILITY, ESPECIALLY IF IT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING DURING A TURN. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 6 YEARS AND 125,000+ MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. DURING THE LAST 25,000 MILES BELT HAS COME OFF UNPREDICTABLY 6-8 TIMES IN WET WEATHER. OCCURRENCES STARTED FOLLOWING REPLACEMENT OF FRONT TIRES AND A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. DEALERS AND SERVICE STATIONS HAVE BLAMED THE TENSIONEER, A PULLEY, THE BELT ITSELF, AND WATER. REPLACEMENT OF THESE PARTS DOES NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WHICH OCCURS AGAIN WITH THE NEXT RAIN STORM. SOMETHING CHANGED AT 125,000 MILES THAT CAUSES THE BELT TO DISENGAGE THE PULLEYS AND /OR TENSIONER WHEN WATER IS SPRAYED UP BY THE TIRES IN WET WEATHER. I CHANGED TIRES TO A DIFFERENT TREAD DESIGN AND THIS HELPED FOR A TIME, BUT WITH WEAR THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *JB

I OWN A 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, SPORT EDITION. YESTERDAY WHILE MY WIFE WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON THE STREET, THE STEERING FROZE AND THE BRAKES FAILED. SHE WENT STRAIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CROSS STREET AND THE VAN WENT DEAD. UPON STARTING THE VAN AGAIN, THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME UP. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND SOMEHOW WE BROUGHT THE VAN HOME. THIS IS PROBABLY THE SPEED SENSOR THAT HAS GONE BAD AGAIN. THREE MONTHS AGO WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE VAN ON THE FREEWAY, THE VAN WENT UNRESPONSIVE AND I HAD TO PULLOVER. UPON STARTING THE VAN, IT SHOWED THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT AND WOULD NOT CATCH UP HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAD TO DRIVE AT 35 MPH SPEED ON FREEWAY AT VERY HIGH ENGINE REVOLUTIONS AND COME HOME. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SPEED SENSOR TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SERIOUS THING OF THE PROBLEM IN THIS VAN IS THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURS SUDDENLY WHILE THE VAN IS IN MOTION.

WE WERE ON THE WAY TO OUR VACATION DESTINATION ON 7/30/02 AND PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY FOR GAS. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON AS SOON AS WE PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION. ONCE WE WERE ON THE ROAD AGAIN, THE VAN WOULD NOT COME OUT OF SECOND GEAR. WE WERE THEN FORCED TO STOP IN A PARKING LOT AND GOT DIRECTIONS TO THE CLOSEST FULL SERVICE REPAIR SHOP. (THIS ALL TOOK PLACE AT 8:15PM IN BARSTOW, CA) THE MECHANIC RAN DIAGNOSTICS ON THE VAN AND THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE SENSOR BUT WOULD HAVE TO RUN MORE TESTS THE FOLLOWING MORNING. WE WERE, AT THAT POINT FORCED TO STAY IN BARSTOW FOR THE NIGHT. WE CALLED THE MECHANIC IN THE MORNING AND GOT THE UNBELIEVABLE NEWS. AFTER RUNNING MORE DIAGNOSTICS HE FOUND TWO ADDITIONAL ERRORS IN THE TRANSMISSION RELATED TO A PRESSURE PROBLEM AND INFORMED US OUR TRANSMISSION WAS THE PROBLEM AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO ORDER A FACTORY REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND WE WERE CHARGED A MERE $2,750.00 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. IN THE MEAN TIME WE HAD TO RENT 2 CARS TO GET TO OUR DESTINATION (NO VEHICLES WERE AVAILABLE TO FIT 6 PEOPLE). WE HAD TO STAY AN ADDITIONAL NIGHT IN A HOTEL, AS OUR VAN WOULD NOT BE READY UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT. OUR VAN HAS LESS THAN 43,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE RELIABLE THAN WHAT IT WAS. WE NOW HAVE THE FACTORY REBUILT TRANSMISSION, PROBABLY FROM SOMEONE ELSE VAN AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE TRUSTED. WE DO NOT FEEL THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION IS RELIABLE AND NOW WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. IT IS UNSAFE!! WE FEEL FORTUNATE THAT WE HAD EXITED THE FREEWAY AT APPARENTLY THE RIGHT TIME, WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD THE VAN SHIFTED IN TO SECOND GEAR AT 70MPH. THE STORY WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH DIFFERENT.*AK

WE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSON SINCE SEPTEMBER 1999. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE COMPUTER SHOWS IN SPEC. THE SPEED SENSOR WENT AND THE VAN COULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. REPLACED AND FAILED AGAIN TAKING OUT THE SPEEDOMETER. TOLD IT WAS JUST A LOSE WIRE THIS TIME. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT ALL 1998-99 VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME REV OF SENSOR AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT REPLACE THEM UNTIL THE FAIL. AT THE SAME TIME THE AIRCONDITIONER FAILED -TOLD THAT THE CONDENSER FAILED DUE TO LEAVES ROTTING THE SYSTEM. A VACUUM HOSE FAILED AND ANOTHER ONE CAME LOSE. NOW THE TRANS SHUDDERS WHEN SHIFTING. TOLD THAT THE TRAN IS BUILT LIKE THIS AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T NOTICE IT. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WON'T FIX IT. DEALER SUGGESTED THAT I NOT KEEP THIS VEHICLE PAST WARRANTY AS IT WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL AND BECOME COSTLY TO ME. THEY ALSO TOLD ME MY EXPECTATIONS WERE TOO HIGH AND I SHOULD HAVE PURCHASED A FOREIGN VEHICLE IF I WANTED RELIABILITY. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER. THEIR CUST SERVICE SAID THAT THEY ARE ONLY CONCERNED WITH FIXING THE VEHICLE AND NOT BUILDING CUSTOMER RELATIONS. I WAS TOLD THAT MANAGERS WILL NOT SPEAK TO CUSTOMERS. MY WIFE WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

APPROXIMATEL;Y AN HOUR AFTER MVA (DAMAGE TO FRONT DRIVERS SIDE), I LEFT TO ACCIDENT SCENE. TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT, SO PULLED OVER AT FIRST AVALIABLE AREA. THE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. INSURANCE ESTIMATES IN EXCESS OF $6000 OF STRUCTURAL DAMAGE FORM ACCIDENT IN ADDITION TO FIRE. VEHICLE IS TOTAL LOSS. I DON'T BELIEVE THE CRUMBLE ZONES PROPERLY PROTECTED TO FRAME. I DON'T THINK THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. INVESTIGATION OF NHTSA WEB SITE PRODUCED NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA99013 WHICH PROMPTED CONTACT. *AK

OUR 1999 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WAS MODIFIED FOR MY WIFE WHO IS DISABLED AND CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR. THE MINI VAN WAS CONVERTED BY VANTAGE MOBILITY INTERNATIONAL (VMI) IN PHOENIX AZ. DURING THE MODIFIACATION, THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS RE-ROUTED AND DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, CAUSED THE MUFFLER TO MOVE AND SEVER THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE FLUID LINE AS WELL AS THE ABS ELECTRICAL CONTROLLER LINE. THE MOVEMENT OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ALSO PUNCTURED A HOLE IN THE REAR OF THE MUFFLER THAT WOULD HAVE ALSO PRESENTED A CARBON MONOXIDE SITUATION. IF I HAD NOT HAD MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER LOOK AT MY VAN ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY, MY FAMILY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS COMPANY PROVIDES THESE VEHICLES NATIONWIDE AND THIS SITUATION COULD CONTINUE TO PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD TO OTHER OWNERS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU. *AK
