2003 Dodge Grand Caravan complaints

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT THE LIFT GATE DOES NOT PROPERLY LOCK AND OPENS WHILE DRIVING. IF THE REAR LIFT IS UNLOCKED AND OPENED USING THE KELSEY ENTRY, IT MAY CLOSE THE LOCK WHILE ITS BEING OPENED AND WHEN YOU CLOSE USING THE KEYPAD, IT WILL APPEAR TO CLOSE AND YOU HEAR THE MECHANISM CLOSING THE DOOR BUT IT DOES NOT CLOSE BECAUSE THE LOCK IS ALREADY CLOSED. THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL EXTINGUISHES BECAUSE IT BELIEVES THE DOOR IS CLOSED. ON ONE OCCASION I FOUND MYSELF DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH AND OPENED BACK. ALSO THE INTERIOR PASSENGER DOME LIGHT TURNS ON BY ITSELF. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES. *LA

TIRE BLOW OUT OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING AT 75 MPH.*MR *PH *JB

THE WEATHER STRIPPING SECURING THE WINDSHEILD CAME LOOSE AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO STOP IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO HOLD THE FLAPPING PIECE OF WEATHER STRIPPING WHILE DRIVING. THE LONGER I DROVE THE MORE IT BECAME DETACHED DUE TO THE WIND PREASURE.*AK

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED VERY ROUGHLY WHEN DECELERATING. THE VEHICLE ALSO MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN STARTED AFTER BEING PARKED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS 3 TIMES. A NEW TRANSMISSION PACKAGE WAS ORDERED AN INSTALLED. *AK *CB *NLM

VEHICLE STALLED, SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE IN GEAR AT STOP LIGHT. IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY START UP, BUT WOULD STALL AT THE NEXT LIGHT. ALSO, STALLED ONCE WHILE IN "PARK". DEALERSHIP RETRIEVED VEHICLE AND CLAIMED IT WAS THE CRANK SENSOR AND REPLACED IT. THE SAME EVENING, AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE OVER A HUNDRED MILES OUT OF TOWN, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN, BUT IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. THE NEXT DAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN, SEVERAL TIMES, AND RESTARTED. HOWEVER, IT DID FINALLY STALL AND WOULD NOT RESTART. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CLOSEST DEALERSHIP.*AK

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE EXPLODED UNEXPECTEDLY (GOODYEAR INTEGRITY 215/70R15). *AK *CB *NLM

THE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON CONTINUOUS, THE HORN IS NOT WORKING, THE CRUISE CONTROL ISN'T WORKING, AND DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW MAKES A SQUEALING NOISE. I CALLED AN AUTOMOBILE REPAIR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I CALLED A DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE PART. *AK

CONSUMER STATES SERPENTINE BELT MAKES ONGOING NOISE. DEALER HAD REPLACED A COUPLE OF TIMES THE SERPENTINE BELT; BUT, PROBLEM STILL RECURRING.*AK

ON 6/18/03, VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM WITH CONTROL MODULE AND REPLACED. THE NEXT DAY, VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING.*AK

EVERY DODGE VEHICLE ON MY STREET, INCLUDING MY BRAND NEW DODGE GRAND CARAVAN THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR LESS THAN 3 WEEKS, WAS BROKEN INTO AND BURGLARIZED. APPARENTLY THIS VEHICLE IS VERY EASY TO BREAK INTO AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY UNSECURED UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. *NLM

I HAVE A 2003 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SE WITH THE MIDDLE CHILD BENCH SEATS. MY 4 YEAR OLD SON PUT HIS JUICE CUP DOWN BETWEEN HIM AND THE INFANT SEAT BUCKLED NEXT TO HIM. THE JUICE CUP HIT THE SEAT BELT RELEASE FOR THE INFANT SEAT AND RELEASED IT. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN. IF I HADN'T HEARD THE CLICK OF THE RELEASE , I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN MY 4 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WAS UNPROTECTED. *NLM

UNSAFE GEN3 SEAT BELTS - REQUEST TO DEMAND THAT DAIMLERCHRYLER RECALL ALL VEHICLE TYPES THAT HAVE THE GEN3 SEAT BELTS.

I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE DODGE SEAT BELTS. WITH THE STUDIES DONE WHY DODGE HASN'T CHANGED ALL SEAT BELTS THAT AREN'T SAFE OR ACHIEVED A HIGH SAFETY RATING. I HAVE ORDERED A 2003 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SEAT BELTS IN THE BACK AND MIDDLE SEATS. I WOULD LIKE FOR DODGE TO AS AN OPTION ON NEW VEHICLES AT THE LEAST BE ABLE TO TRADE IN THE 3 SEAT BELTS FOR THE 4 GRAND CARAVAN FRONT SEAT BELTS. DT
