WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WANDERED ON ITS OWN. THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD MAKE A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC FOR AN INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*JB

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE CAUSE WAS NOT DETERMINED.

2003 DODGE CARAVAN STALLING PROBLEM. *MR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STUCK. INCIDENT DATE: JULY 29, 2004. *SC *JB

THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT LUNGED FORWARD. AS A RESULT, CONSUMER SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION AND A BLACK EYE. *AK THE SEAT WAS LEFT RECLINED BY THE OWNER'S DAUGHTER BEFORE INCIDENT OCCURRED. AS CONSUMER TRIED TO RETRIEVE SOME ITEMS FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE, CONSUMER LEANED ACROSS THE SEAT AND PULLED THE LEVER TO RAISE IT FROM THE RECLINED POSITION. AS THE SEAT LUNGED FORWARD, IT HIT THE CONSUMER'S HEAD FORCING IT TO HIT THE HANDLE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. *LA

DURING A RAIN SHOWER, WITH MY WIPERS ON. THE WIPERS STOPPED HALF WAY. THIS WAY THE SECOND TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED DURING A RAIN SHOWER. THE WIPERS WILL RESTART AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE SCHEDULED THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE, BUT I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I WAS LUCKY, SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT BE!!*AK

TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS REPLACED BY DEALER AT 34,000 MILES. AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP, VAN EXPERIENCED HARD DOWNSHIFTING AT 30 MPH. DEALER SAID A CONTROL MODULE ON THE SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND IT WAS REPLACED. VAN CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE HARD DOWNSHIFT AT 30MPH, SO IT WAS AGAIN RETURNED TO THE DEALER. PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED, BUT NO FURTHER EXPLANATION OFFERED.*AK

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON SMALL INCLINE, WITHOUT ANY WARNING VEHICLE START ROLL BACKWARD. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED WHEN IT HIT A UTILITY POLL. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. *LA

VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN THE DRIVER. THE AIR BAGS ALSO FAILED TO DEPLOY UNTIL AFTER THE DRIVER HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. *NM *LA

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THIS CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO LOSE BRAKING POWER. BUT THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE'S MANUAL AND THE TIRE MANUAL HAVE SPECIAL CUSTOM SHOWING A TREAD PATTERN WITH SOLID RUBBER ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE. AS A RESULT, WATER WAS UNABLE TO ESCAPE WHICH CAUSED THE TIRE TO HYDRO PLANE OR SPIN EASILY WHEN DRIVING ON WET SURFACES. THE CONSUMER REPLACED THE TIRES WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM, BUT THE FUEL WAS LESS PER GALLON THAN ANTICIPATED IN THE MANUALS. *AK *JB

POWER STEERING PUMP WHINES WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP A LOUD WHINING NOISE COMES FROM POWER STEERING. WHINING IS AGGREVATED WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. NOISE CHANGES WITH SPEED OF THE ENGINE. MY FLUID LEVEL IS AT NORMAL. MY DEALERS ANSWER WAS TO OVERFILL THE RESERVOIR WITH FLUID. NOW THAT THE FLUID LEVEL IS COMPLETELY FILLED TO THE TOP OF THE RESERVOIR, INCLUDING THE NECK OF THE RESERVOIR, THE NOISE HAS GONE AWAY. IT APPEARS THE RESERVOIR IS TOO SMALL FOR THE VEHICLE.*AK

THE FIRST PROBLEM HAPPENED ON 4/24/03 TRANSMISSION STUCK IN SECOND GEAR WOULD NOT SHIFT. DEALERSHIP REMOVED AND DISASSEMBLED TRANSMISSION. FOUND A LOT OF METAL FILINGS AND FOUND TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. THEY REPLACED CLUTCHES AND CONVERTER, REASSEMBLED. THE SECOND TIME THE TRANSMISSION BLEW. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED TRANSMISSION AND THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE CASE, DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THE BRAND NEW FROM THE FACTORY TRANSMISSION IS DOING THE SAME AS WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT IT. I BELIEVE IT IS A LEMON.

POOR GAS MILAGE 13MILES/GALLON

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME STUCK TOGETHER DURING AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP. THERE WAS A HARD RAIN AND WE WERE DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE WITH MANY OTHER PERSONAL AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES WHEN WE ENCOUNTERED THE PROBLEM. WE WERE FORCED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND MANUALLY DISENGAGE THE WIPER BLADES FROM ONE ANOTHER. WE THEN PROCEEDED TOWARD OUR DESTINATION WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. UPON OUR RETURN HOME OUR VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED. THE SERVICE PERSONNEL SEEMED VERY DISINTERESTED AND SIMPLY REPLACED THE BLADES WITH CHEAP REFILLS. WE WERE TOLD THAT NEW WIPER BLADES WERE BEING ORDERED BUT WE HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM ANYONE (ONE MONTH LATER). WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCATIONS BUT WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THEIR SERVICE AFTER THE SELL IS EXTREMELY LOUSY TO SAY THE LEAST! STILL WAITING

2003 DODGE CARAVAN IS A PIECE OF GARBAGE! MY NEW CARAVAN HAD A RECALL FOR A PART IN THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS NOISY, RUFF RUNNING, AND IT DOES NOT GET 21-27 MILES PER GALLON AS ADVERTISED!! 12 MILES PER GALLON IS MORE REALISTIC. BE WARNED! THIS VAN IS TERRIBLE. LOOK AT OTHER VANS DO NOT BUY OR LEASE THIS VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF CHRYSLER AND MAROONE DODGE AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. GO ELSEWHERE! THEY ARE NOT 5 STAR THEY SUCK! *NLM

I AM WRITING IN RESPONSE TO A REPORT THAT WAS FEATURED ON THE NEWS ON 4/27/03 CONCERNING THE GEN 3 SEAT BELTS ON CHRYSLER AND DODGE VEHICLES. I WAS VERY ALARMED AT THE INFORMATION THAT THESE SEAT BELTS CAN EASILY BECOME UNLATCHED WITH MINIMAL PRESSURE SUCH AS AN ELBOW OR DRINK CONTAINER. THE REPORT ALSO SHOWED THE "BALL TEST" WHICH EASILY DISENGAGED THE SEAT BELT. THERE WERE SEVERAL OWNERS OF VEHICLES FEATURED, INCLUDING A WOMAN WHO LOST HER HUSBAND IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN HIS GEN 3 SEAT BELT UNLATCHED DURING AN ACCIDENT AND HE WAS THROWN 30 FEET. CHRYSLER HAS INSISTED THAT THE SEAT BELT MEETS ALL SAFETY STANDARDS, HOWEVER IT WAS REPORTED THAT THEY HAVE CHANGED THE SEAT BELTS IN SOME OF THEIR NEWER MODEL CARS, INCLUDING THE FRONT SEAT, BUT NOT THE REAR SEAT OF THE CARAVAN, I QUESTION WHY THEY WOULD CHANGE THE BELT IF THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. I FEEL A SERIOUS INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF ALL DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS OF CHRYSLER AND DODGE VEHICLES. *NLM

I WAS JUST MADE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT MY 2003 DODGE CARAVAN HAS THE GEN. 3 SEAT BELTS IN THE REAR SEATS. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND THEIR SAFETY IS IMPERATIVE. MY 4 YEAR OLD SON HAS ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED MY 2 YEAR OLD'S CAR SEAT AT LEAST TEN TIMES, OPENING THE GEN 3 SEAT BELT...THEREBY MAKING MY DAUGHTER UNSAFE. *NLM

MY "BRAND-NEW" 03 DODGE CARAVAN HAS RUSTY AND OLD PARTS INSIDE. IT HAS LESS THAN 3500 MILES, AND THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ALREADY, THE BRAKES MAKE A SLIGHT NOISE, AND THE BATTERY STARTED CORRODING, TOO. WHEN I CALLED DAIMLER-CHRYSLER, THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME SPECIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT MY VEHICLE. I AM QUESTIONING WHETHER MY VEHICLE IS REALLY NEW... I PAID WAY TOO MUCH FOR IT TO BE ACTING THIS WAY - AGAIN UNDER 3500 MILES! *NLM

BACK WHEEL FREEZE UP WHEN DRIVEN ON WET ROADS AND WHEN IT GETS COLD AT NIGHT.THE NEXT MORNING YOU CAN'T MOVE IT.

BOUGHT A 2003 SPORT GRAND CARAVAN ON DEC 30, 2003. THE SAME DAY, I DISCOVERED THE VEHICAL VIBRATE ON REVERSE ON GENTLE SLOPE. LATER, TEST DRIVE TWO OTHER NEW 2003 SPORT GRAND CARAVAN = LESS VIBRATION. TEST DRIVE 2002 (13000 MILES) SPORT GRAND CARAVAN = NO VIBRATION AT ALL. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

CONSUMER STATE WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH THEIR WAS A SMALL ROCK ON ROAD CONSUMER AVOID THE WITH TIRE CAUSING ROCK TO TRAVEL UNDER VEHICLE. CONSUMER NOTICE A LOUD NOISE FLOWING FUEL SMELL. CONSUMER PULL VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICE FUEL SPRAYING FROM UNDER VEHICLE. DEALER AND MANUFACTURE HAS BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. TS

ON THE NIGHT OF OCTOBER 24, 2002, I PURCHASED A NEW 2003 DODGE SXT MINIVAN. ON OCTOBER 25, 2002, I DISCOVERED EXPOSED ELECTRICAL WIRES UNDER BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT SEATS. WHEN I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER ON OCTOBER 25, 2002, SALES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES INFORMED ME THIS IS THE CONFIGURATION FOR THE NEW 2003 DODGE CARAVAN SXT. DAIMLER-CHRYSLER MADE A DECISION TO ELIMINATE WHAT HAD BEEN STORAGE COMPARTMENTS UNDER THE TWO SEATS. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER CHAIR BASE HAS HOLES DRILLED TO ACCEPT STORAGE DRAWERS, HOWEVER, NONE ARE INSTALLED. UNDER BOTH SEATS ONE FINDS AN ACCUMULATION OF EXPOSED ELECTRICAL WIRES. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE VAN HAD I DISCOVERED THIS THE NIGHT OF THE PURCHASE. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. ON OCTOBER 25, 2002, THE DAVID STANLEY DODGE SALES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE INFORMED ME THIS IS STANDARD ON THE NEW CARAVAN STX. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD AFFECTING EVERY 2003 DODGE CARAVAN SXT MINIVAN PRODUCED. CONSEQUENTLY, EVERY OWNER SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THIS HAZARD; DAIMLER-CHRYSLER SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM ON ALL FUTURE PRODUCTION, A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE TO INSTALL DRAWERS TO COVER THE EXPOSED WIRES OR SOME SORT OF FACE PLATE SHOULD BE MANUFACTURED WHICH COULD BE INSTALLED OVER THE OPENING ON THE FRONT OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER CHAIR BASE TO COVER THESE EXPOSED ELECTRICAL WIRES. AGAIN, I REPEAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THESE EXPOSED ELECTRICAL WIRES EXIST ON EVERY 2003 DODGE CARAVAN
