DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATES THAT HORN WON'T BLOW. THIS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS, AND ALMOST CAUSED HIM TO HIT ONE PERSON. HE HAS HAD THE HORN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT OWNED A 1998 DODGE CARAVAN. SHE STATED THAT THE TIMING BELT KEPT COMING OFF. DEALER SAID THEY HAD NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, AND THEY DO HAVE A TSB, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN MADE A RECALL YET.*AK

THE LEFT FRONT STRUT TOWER ASSEMBLY WAS RUSTED, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE STRUT TO COME OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER ANTICIPATED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE TO DROP UNEXPECTEDLY.*AK

GAS LEAK AT THE TOP, BEFORE THE OVERFLOW WHEN FILLING. HAVE A SHOP CHECKED, THINKING THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE GAS TANK. THE SHOP FOUND NO LEAK. BROUGHT TO LOCAL DEALER TO FIND IF THERE IS OR WAS ANY RECALL THAT I MISSED. DEALER SAID THAT THRE IS NONE AND IF I WANT IT FIX I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND A RECALL.*AK

WHILE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING, THE TIMING BELT ON HER 1998 DODGE CARAVAN (2.4 L)BROKE. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET CREATING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY. LOOKING AT THE RECOMMENDED MAINTENACE ON THIS CAR I NOTED THAT THERE IS NO RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE FOR THE TIMING BELT UNTIL 120,000 MILES. THUS, SINCE THE CAR ONLY HAD 72,000 MILES, THIS BELT BROKE FAR EARLIER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED. SINCE THIS CAN CREATE A VERY HAZARDOUS/DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IT OCCURS ON A BUSY STREET OR ON A FREEWAY, DODGE SHOULD DETERMINE WHETHER THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND IF SO WHETHER IT SHOULD NOTIFY OWNERS THAT THE BELT SHOULD BE EXAMINED FAR EARLIER THAN AT 120,000 MILES OR IF THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE TIMING BELT REPLACED.*AK

A THICK FILM IS COVERING THE HEADLIGHT LENS. AS A RESULT, THE LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AT NIGHT. *AK...*AK

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 86000 MILES. THE TRANSAXLE WAS PERFORATED BY BROKEN PIN. THE 2ND TRANSMISSION AT THE TRANSMISSION SHOP COULD NOT BE INSTALLED BECAUSE OF A CRACK IN HOUSING DUE TO SAME PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION #3 THAT WAS INSTALLED LASTED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AND FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER. #4 COULD NOT BE INSTALLED BECAUSE IT ARRIVED WITH A CRACK IN HOUSING DUE TO SAME PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE TRANSMISSION #5 INSTALLED IN THIS VEHICLE. THE FAILURE IS A PIN IN THE TRANSAXLE BECOMING LOOSE AND FLYING OUT AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED.THE PIN THEN CREATES A HOLE IN THE TRANSMISSION CASE AND ALLOWS FLUID TO ESCAPE CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE PIN IS USUALLY STOPPED BY THE TRANSMISSION CASE BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ONE FLIES OUT AND INJURES SOMEBODY. ROLL PIN THAT SECURES GEAR PIN IS BREAKING. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS WAS $1950.00. *JB

THE SERVICE TECHS WERE SEEKING THE PROBLEM WITH MY HORN WHICH WASN'T WORKING ON ALL DECIBLES.
