Richard of Marengo, OH October 7, 2009 I had a Dodge Grand Caravan that I purchased there less than a year before with brake noise. My wife complained on previous occasions but was told nothing was wrong. When they finally looked at it vehicle was out of warranty period and they said the repair would not be covered. It cost us $471.98 to replace front and back pads and resurface rotors. Was not informed that a TSB #05-006-08 had been issued. Part number recommended in TSB does not match part number on my invoice. Now they need replaced again a year later because they were making a squealing noise and overheating. When I took it in to a local mechanic, he said my left rear caliper is leaking and needs to be replaced. No calipers are available as they are on national backorder. I now have a van that is too dangerous to drive and no parts are available to repair it. Richard of Southaven, MS August 19, 2009 I bought a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan new in the fall of 2005. It now has slightly over 90,000 miles on it. During the warranty period, the transmission had to be replaced. After the warranty period was over the transmission had to be replaced again. Since then The power window motors went out, the air blower motor went out, the brake calipers locked up and had to be replaced to include new rotors and pads, the alternator went out, the A/C compressor went out, now the rack and pinion steering is in need of replacement. All prior to breaking 90,000 miles. My van is a money pit. I will never buy another Dodge again. Tamara of San Ramon, CA July 8, 2009 My 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan has had a couple of unusual problems. All of the lug nuts broke off when the wheels were first being changed and had to be replaced. Recently, I heard a pop, the battery light went on (it's a brand new battery) and the heat went to high. The bolts broke and the timing cover broke and sliced the serpentine belt. The auto shop said they had never seen anything like it, but suspected by the way Chrysler sold the part that they knew. They had to replace the timimg cover, belt, and drill out broken bolts. There was metal all over the inside of the car. I believe Chrysler used inferior steel in their bolts. I emailed Chrysler but they don't care. Joseph of Glassboro, NJ April 22, 2009 I bought a new 2008 Dodge Caravan in October 2007. In April 2009 I have replaced all new brakes and rotors on this vehicle with less than 20,000 miles (around town driving). I called Dodge and they told me that brakes and rotors are not covered under the warranty. Dodge tells me that it is normal for brakes to go under 20,000. I disagree and so does my machanic. On several web-sites many people have the same complaint about the brakes on the Dodge Caravan. This is a premature problem with defective brakes and rotors. I hope they recall this problem before Chrysler/Dodge goes out of business so I can get back my $600.00 for the repairs to their new vehicle. $600.00 out of pocket for new brakes and rotors on a new vehicle. Allen of Brookfield, IL March 4, 2009 Allen of Brookfield IL (03/04/09) Ellen of Londonderry, NH February 21, 2009 Ellen of Londonderry NH (02/21/09) Teri of Osseo, WI January 25, 2009 Teri of Osseo WI (01/25/09) Bob of Mount Dora, FL December 15, 2008 Bob of Mount Dora FL (12/15/08) Byron of Quincy, IL October 10, 2008 Byron of Quincy IL (10/10/08) Edna of Vine Grove, KY August 21, 2008
Edna of Vine Grove KY (08/21/08) The Service manger said it needed a new drive belt again..I informed him it had been replaced I thought in April...Then he changed his mind and said it needed adjustin..Well the noise did go away... 8/19/08 My air-conditioning and my electric key opener stopped working. Now I'm taking it in today to have that problem solved 8/21/08.. I did buy an extended Warranty on it for 60,000 miles I don't know what to do..It drives good and I sure wish it could be fixed to give me several good miles on it. I have almost 50,000 miles on it now. I wish someone could give me some advice on whether to keep or trade in on another car... I am a senior and bought this car mostly to travel in... Eric of Apple Valley, CA July 25, 2008 I have a 99 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.8L with a bad transmission. I have read other complaints and it seems like dodge choices to ignore the problem. It shifts rough and gets stuck in second after driving for a cetain period of time. No codes come up when they check and no one knows what to do. Cindy of Clayton, NJ May 7, 2008 In December of 2007 my husband and I purchased a 2000 Dodge Caravan. The day we bought it the passenger window did not work, they fix it. Since then we have had many engine/brake problems with the car. We are told the car is old and used so problems will happen. We were not told this when the sale was made. We relize that an older vehicle would not be perfect but this vehicle should never have been put on the lot. We asked for a copy of the ORIGINAL safety check point paper and noone can seem to get us a copy.The car has been back almost once a month and in March it took over a week to fix the engine. Saturday May 3 the car died. We took it back to the dealership and were told to wait untill Monday. On Monday the 5th, we were told it was a starter. They fixed it. On Tuesday the 6th, we picked up the car and my husband drove it to work. The brakes were loud and the wheel is off line. Todat the 7th, I took the vehicle in and the service man was very rude. He they can't look at the car till tomorrow the 8th.Every time we get something fixed, something else goes wrong. We asked that we get a vehicle of the same valuse and were told no. We also bought a 2005 Equinox there and have no problems, it is the Caravan that is a problem. We aren't looking for something brand new, we wanted a minivan for a family of four and a dog. The dealership is making it like it is our fault, this vehicle was not ready to be sold. Roger of Holtwwod, PA May 2, 2008 I purchased a new Dodge Caravan on oct 12, 2007. on April 10, 2008 I was driving down the Highway in the right lane, when my right side vent window blew out for no reason. I went straight to the dealer and showed him that their was very very little glass in my Car and that it blew out. He told me that something had to have hit it. That a rock just nicked it and it blew out. He said it doesn't take much to break that glass. To top it off I was going to have my right side automatic sliding door fixed as well. It has not been working for weeks prior to this. He told me that it is not working becase a peice of glass got into the track and that it is my problem. Theis are warranty issues and they are covered under my BUMBER to BUMPER warranty. After six months of owning this van they don't care to fix their warranty issues. This is how Dodge deals with their warranty issues. Robert of Benton, MO April 28, 2008 Robert of Benton MO (04/28/08) Michelle of Blaine, MN March 31, 2008 Michelle of Blaine MN (03/31/08) Marilyn of Maple Heights, OH March 10, 2008 well i purchased a 98 dodge caravan from jd byrider in sept. 06.
