Extended Warranty on the Fuel Tank/Vapor Cannister

Air bag Light stays On, even with seat belt attached, so this means air bag is not working, not sure driver side, or passenger. went to Dodge dealer, they would NOT fix it!!

The door locks do not work for the sliding doors or the passenger side of the vehicle. We tried to fix this issue by checking the door lock fuse out to make sure it was okay, and it was. The driver's side is the only one that locks. The passenger door lock will not push down and lock when pressed down manually. I feel this is a safety issue and I have seen that others online are having problems with their door locks not working or getting stuck and not unlocking. I don't understand why there is no recall on this issue with the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. This is a serious safe issue on any vehicle. My sliding doors have to be manually locked and as I said, the passenger side won't lock, so it's dangerous for me to have passengers. My local Dodge dealership offered to diagnose it, but it's $125.00 for them to just find out what's causing this if they could even do that. Clearly it is an issue of some kind since one door locks. Can you please look into this? Again, I know others have had door lock issues with the Dodge Caravan. Why hasn't this been fixed and recalled already? This is very frustrating. Also, I don't remember the exact date I purchased my vehicle in June, so I've given it my best guess. Thank you for your time in reviewing this. Resolution that fixes this for myself and everyone else who is dealing with this, would be much appreciated.

WHEN PUMPING GASOLINE INTO THE TANK, WITHIN A FEW SECONDS THE GASOLINE BACKLOWS AND TURNS OFF THE PUMP. IN ORDER TO GET 5 GALLONS INTO THE TANK IT MAY TAKE 20 STOPS, WAIT & STARTS WHICH MAY TAKE 5 MINUTES. THE CHARCOAL VAPOR TRAP IS WORKING FINE SINCE THE HOSE TO IT FROM THE GASOLINE TANK WAS DISCONNECTED TO TEST THE VAPOR CANISTER. MECHANIC DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE HOW TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OVER A MONTH AND A HALF.

COMES ON 10 MINUTES INTO DRIVE,GOES OFF AFTER SITTING 2 MINUTES WITH SWITCH OFF

TIRE CRACKING AND TREAD SEPARATION ON TOURMAX GFT SOLD BY ELDORADO. ITS NOT IN YOUR LIST. POOR WEAR CHARACTERISTICS.

WHEN FILLING WITH GAS THE ENGINE TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING, THIS HAPPENED ON A LEFT TURN WITH VEHICLES APPROACHING, CARS HAD TO STOP AND HELP PUSH VAN OUT OF STREET. LUCKILY IT DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, HAD TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN VEHICLE , VERY FORTUNATE FOR THE QUICK RESPONSE OF OTHER DRIVERS. FUEL READING WRONG FIRST TIME CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING SHOWING 1/ 4 TANK OF GAS. NOW SHUTS OFF SHOWING MORE THAN 3/4 TANK OF GAS THIS HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY, LOST ALL POWER STEERING AS WELL. AGAIN I HAD TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN CAR. SEAT BELT NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HEADLIGHT VERY DIM AT NIGHT NOT GOOD FEW FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS BECOMING MORE UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

MY VAN STALLS EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE TANK. I DO NOT TAP OFF THE TANK I FILL IT TILL THE HANDLE CLICKS ONCE AND THATS IT. I HAVE DONE A TON OF RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT ITS THE FUEL VAPOR SEPARATOR. THEN ONLY WAY TO FIX SAID PROBLEM WHICH IS TOTALLY COMMON ON ALL CHYSLER VANS THE WAY I AM READING IT IS THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. IT STALLS AFTER FILLING UP AND WHEN I START TO DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSES POWER. BEFORE COMING TO A STOP, POWER RETURNS. THIS HAS HAPPENED DURING CITY DRIVING, AT A VARIETY OF SPEEDS.

MYSELF AND TWO OTHERS JUST RECENTLY GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAGS DIDNT GO OFF . THANK GOD THAT WE HAD OUR SEATBELTS ON.

MY VAN WHEN I FILL IT UP WOULD RUNN SO RUFF AND THEN WOULD DIE TRYING TO CROSS THE STREET. THEN IT STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS WHEN I FILLED IT UP.. THEN IT STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS AND TRYING TO DIE WHEN I FILLED IT UP. SO AS LONG AS I DONT FILL IT MORE THAN HALF WAY I WAS OK. MY SON FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS AND MAKES ME TAKE THE CAR IN. THEY TELL ME IT IS THE FUEL PUMP, FUEL TANK AND CANNISTER. I ASK HOW CAN IT BE ALL 3 ? GO HEAD AND TAKE IT APART AND MAKE SURE WHATS PROKEN AND FIX IT. THEY SAY ITS UNDER RECALL AND NEEDS A NEW TANK AND CANNISTER BUT PUMP IS NOT INCLUDED. WELL IF IT PUMPS FINE UNDER HALF A TANK AND RUNS FINE UNDER HALF A TANK THEN WHAT GOING ON. THEY REPLACE EVERYTHING CNLY CHARGE ME 7.00 FOR LABOR BUT 397.00 FOR PARTS. A MONTH LATER CALL ME BACK TO REPLACE IT ALL AGAIN. THEY NEVER SHOWER ME THE BAD PARTS AS REQUESTED.

FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS OR SO, IN THE WINTER TIME, MY HEAD LIGHTS WOULD JUST RANDOMLY COME ON WHEN IT STARTED TO GET COLD OUTSIDE. THEY WOULD GO OUT LATER BUT THEY WOULD DO THIS ALL NIGHT AND DAY. THIS YEAR, THEY NOW DO THIS ALL YEAR LONG AND NOW THEY ARE DOING WHILE I AM DRIVING. MY LIGHTS WILL FLICKER AND JUST GO BLACK. I LOSE ALL MY LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. I LOVE MY VAN AND THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I UNDERSTAND BUT THIS HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN THE VAN THAT IS FAULTY. IN THE PAST, I WOULD JUST GRAB THE LIGHT SWITCH AND TURN IT BACK AND FORTH QUICKLY AND IT WOULD TURN THE LIGHTS OFF. THIS NO LONGER WORKS. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR ISSUES LIKE THIS REPORTED. I AM SO AFRAID TO TAKE IT TO A SHOP AND FIND OUT IT IS GOING TO COST MORE THAN MY VAN IS WORTH. AGAIN, THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING OR WHEN THE VAN IS STATIONARY, NOT RUNNING AT ALL. THIS STARTED ABOUT 3-4 YEARS AGO AND IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE. I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN IT THINKING THAT WOULD HELP. NOPE!

I WAS DRIVING AND OUT OF NO WHERE MY HAZARD SWITCH CAME ON. CONFUSED I PUSHED IT AND IT CONTINUED TO STAY ON, AND MY BLINKERS FLASHED LIKE THEY SHOULD. SO I TURNED THEM OFF AND THE SWITCH LIGHT STAYED ON. ALSO, EVERY LIGHT AVAILABLE LIGHTS UP ON MY DASH PANEL WHEN I START THE VAN. BUT ONLY EVERY NOW AND THEN. MY O2 SENSOR HAS BEEN CHANGES 2 TIMES BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR IT STAYS ON. AS WELL AS MY ABS LIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AND ILLUMINATED AGAIN AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED A FEW WEEKS LATER AND THE LIGHTS REMAINED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER, BUT REFUSED TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BULBS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT DID NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN DUE TO STATE LAWS THAT REQUIRE THE LIGHTS ON IN THOSE CONDITIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172,000.

THE VEHICLE HAS THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. WHEN PARKED AND BEING DRIVEN THE GAS FUMES ARE STRONG. I CHANGED THE FUEL TANK, THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IF THE WINDOWS ARE OPENED THE FUMES ENTER THE CAB. WHEN OPEN THE DOOR, I HAVE TO STAND BACK AND LET THE FUMES DISSIPATE BEFORE GETTING IN. I CRINGE WHEN A LIT CIGARETTE IS THROWN OUT AHEAD OF ME. IS THIS THE TIME THAT I WILL GO UP IN A BLAZE OF GLORY? WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE DOORS FAILED TO LOCK. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE CONTACT VEERED OFF THE ROAD AND CRASHED IN A FIELD. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ASSIGNED AN INVESTIGATOR TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS AND THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER AFTER THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER BUT THE FAILURE WAS STILL UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE MIGHT HAVE BEEN DUE TO THE BATTERY NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT WARNING INDICATORS WERE NO LONGER ILLUMINATED BUT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLICKER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON MY 2005 DODGE CARAVAN WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE MINIVAN FAILED COMPLETELY, SHUTTING DOWN MY POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, ALL DASHBOARD INDICATORS, AND ALL VEHICLE LIGHTS (INCLUDING THE FOUR-WAY FLASHERS). FORTUNATELY, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN, SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT TO OUR REGULAR MECHANIC, WHO COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AFTER IT HAPPENED THE SECOND TIME, A DODGE DEALER MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM LOCKING MECHANISM HAD FAILED AND SHORTED OUT THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND WOULD COST $900 TO REPAIR. IT ALSO COST AN EXTRA $500 TO REPLACE THE MECHANISM THAT THE PART IS ATTACHED TO BECAUSE IT HAD RUSTED SO SEVERELY. THESE INCIDENTS WERE FRIGHTENING BECAUSE IT WAS DIFFICULT TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE IF IT HAD HAPPENED AT A HIGHER SPEED OR AT NIGHT SINCE ALL MY LIGHTS WOULD HAVE SHUT OFF. I WOULD CONSIDER BUYING A NEWER WHEELCHAIR VAN IF THEY WERE NOT SO INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE.

I HAD THIS VAN 2005 CARAVAN FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS AND PAST YEAR I HAD 3 ISSUES, ONE OF THEM IS THAT MY LIGHTS TURNED OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY AND IT WAS VERY SCARY , I FIXED IT BY REPLACING THE LIGHT SWITCH AND NOW IS OK BUT IT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE THERE IS MORE INCIDENTS OF THAT TYPE ON OTHER CARAVANS AS I CAN SEE,SECOND IS MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT COMES ,STAYS ,GOES AWAY AND THEN COMES BACK UP AS IT WILLS ,I DID NOT FIX IT SINCE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BUT WILL TRY TO GET IT DONE AS A RECALL, THIRD ONE IS MY FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING AT A SAME POINT WHERE I SAW PICTURES AND COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS SO I WOULD LIKE JUST TO ADD MY OWN COMPLAINT,I WILL REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP SINCE I DOUBT I CAN GET RECALL IN NEAR FUTURE BUT HOPEFULLY KEEP THE RECEIPT IF IT GETS APPROVED SO I CAN TRY TO GET MY MONEY BACK,THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A DODGE CARAVAN FROM A DEALER AND SINCE PURCHASING IT, WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. OUR DOOR LOCK SYSTEM HAS STOPPED WORKING IN WHICH MY MOTHER WHO IS DISABLED AND CAN ONLY BE PUT ON ONE SIDE OF THE VAN RELATED TO HER STROKE, WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE LOCKING MECHANISM WOULDN'T LET US OPEN THE DOOR AND WE LIVE IN TEXAS. WE HAD TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO TRANSFER HER TO THE OTHER DOOR. WE NOW CAN ONLY PUT HER IN ON HER "BAD" SIDE WHICH PUTS HER AT RISK FOR INJURY (AND US). AFTER THAT WE HAD PROBLEMS THAT STARTED WITH THE GAGES BOBBING UP AND DOWN AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING RIGHT HALF THE TIME. IT ALSO HAS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT COME ON AND THEN THE FRONT END SHAKES. WE HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, GROUNDING WIRES, CHECKED FUSES AND BATTERY AND CABLES. NOTHING HAS WORKED, BUT THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GET CODES FROM UNTIL THE CAR WAS AT AN INTERSECTION AND DIED!!!!! NOW IT IS FREQUENTLY DYING WHEN WE ARE AT A STOP FOR RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS AND ...RECENTLY IT DIED WHILE I WAS YIELDING FOR A LEFT TURN. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CAR ACCIDENTS AND I NEARLY GOT T-BONED AT THIS INTERSECTION. EVEN WHEN THE CAR DIES, IT WOULD USUALLY START RIGHT UP UNTIL A MONTH AGO. NOW IT MAY START UP RIGHT AWAY OR IT MAY NOT START FOR 15-30 MINUTES AFTER IT DIES. IN TEXAS WE NEED THE AIR CONDITIONING. I AM NOW REFUSING TO PUT HER IN SOMETHING I CONSIDER A "DEATH TRAP". I AM NOW PUTTING THIS DOWN IN WRITING

CRACKED FUEL PUMP HOUSING LEAKING FUEL BY EXHAUST SYSTEM.

JUST FILLED UP WITH FUEL, STARTED TO PULL IN TO TRAFFIC, ENGINE STALLED. ALMOST BROADSIDED BY A SEMI. NOW EVERY TIME I FILL UP, THE ENGINE STALLS UPON ACCELERATION. UPON DOING SOME CHECKING I HAVE FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND THAT THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS ALL OF A SUDDEN HESITATION. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THESE PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. HOW COME NO RECALL?

ENGINE CAN STALL OUT AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. *TR

DRIVING AT NIGHT RECENTLY , LIGHTS TURNED OFF, WORKED SWITCH BACK AND FORTH UNTIL CAME BACK ON DID NOT CRASH BUT WAS VERY ALARMED, RETURNED SAFELY HOME.PLEASE CHECK IF THERE IS RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM,ALSO KNOCK FROM SUSPENSION OCCURS. *TR

MY DAUGHTERS AND I WERE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN AND I JUST PRESSED ON THE GAS WHEN THE BACK BENCH SEAT THAT HAS THE STOW AND GO SEATING UNLATCHED FROM THE FLOOR AND FLUNG HER BACKWARDS. THOUGH SHE DIDN'T GET TO HURT. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH. IS THIS A PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE? I AM NERVOUS TO LET THEM SIT IN THAT SEAT BUT THE BENCH AND BOTH BUCKET SEATS HAVE THIS LOCKING MECHANISM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,531. ..UPDATED 06-08-15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEREFORE THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT REPAIR THE FAILURE. UPDATED 11/23/2015*JS

WHY ARE NOT ALL THE 2005 DODGE CARAVANS NOT COVERED ON THE RECALL FOR THE SENSORS THAT CAUSE THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON. IT SHOULD NOT JUST COVER THE STATES THAT THEY FIGURE THAT SALT IS USED. IT IS USED HERE IN ABUNDANCE BECAUSE OF COST AND CLOSE VICINITY OF SALT LAKE. IF YOUR VIN NUMBER DOESN'T COME UP THEY WON'T COVER IT BUT IT IS A SAFETY ITEM AND I FELL IT SHOULD BE COVERED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED BY LOCATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY DODGE CARAVAN 2005 ON THE FREEWAY AND THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS KEPT TURNING OFF AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IS WOULD TOO. I WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS HAD MY THREE CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WIFE WITH ME AT THE TIME. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. *JS
