2001 Dodge Caravan complaints

AIR BAG READY LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES THE VEHICLES IS OPERATED. DEALER STATE DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING THIS PART IS NOT AVAILABLE ON BACK ORDER NO DELIVERY DATE KNOWN. *AK

THE VEHICLE BEGAN PULLING TO THE RIGHT, THE DEALER PERFORMED A FRONT END ALIGNENT BUT NOW THE VEHICLE PULLS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. NLM

LANDMARK DODGE REALIGNED THE FRONT END AND REPLACED BOTH CALIPERS DURING A THREE MONTH TIMESPAN. THIS DID NOT ELEMINATE THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE, AND WAS ASKED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO CHAMPION CRYSLER FOR A SECOND OPINION. I DID THIS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ALIGNMENT WAS WAY OUT OF SPECFICATIONS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THEY RESET IT TO SEPCS. I THEN WAS ASKED TO TEST THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF THEY HAD MADE A CHANGE. I DID THIS. WHILE TESTING THE VEHICLE A LARGE FORD PICKUP PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF MY WIFE. SHE HIT THE BRAKES AND THE WHEELS LOCKED AND OUR VEHICLE MADE A 90 DEGREE RIGHT TURN WITHOUT HER EVEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. AT THIS POINT I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO CHAMPION CRYSLER AND REFUSED TO DRIVE IT ANY LONGER. MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN TO LET THEM RIDE IN THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. *AK

THE NEW VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AND THERE WAS A SMELL OF GASOLINE, IT WAS FOUND THAT GASOLINE WAS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. THE CONSUMER STATES THAT RECALL ON DESIGN DEFECT SIMILAR TO WHAT HE EXPERIENCED WAS BEING ISSUED. *YH

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 35 M/P/H UP SMALL INCLINE TRANSMISSION SLIPS TO LOW GEAR AND THEN THE CAR STOPS MOVING FORWARD TOTALLY. NO LIGHTS LIGHT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. NO CODES ARE SET FOR THE MECHANICS TO CHECK. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM AND WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO OF NOTE THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE GEARS ARE LIT ON THE DASH BUT NONE ARE HIGHLIGHTED SO THE CAR APPEARS TO BE TOTALLY OUT OF GEAR. I HAVE BEEN SO VERY LUCKY-IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND I WAS NOT REAR-ENDED IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED IN THE MORNING AND ALWAYS AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN ABOUT 10 MILES AND ABOUT ONE HALF HOUR TO 1 HOUR.*AK

THE INSTRUMENTS ARE RECESSED TOO DEEP INTO THE DASH CAUSING THE FUEL GAUGE AND THE SPEEDOMETER TO BE IN A SHADOW AND MAKE THEM HARD TO READ ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, THE SPEEDOMETER NUMBER SPACING IS IN TWENTY MILE SPACINGS REQUIRING A PERSON TO INTERPRET THEIR SPEED. NLM
