Windshield wipers do not function properly; intermittent mode will sometimes run constant, or will stop completely in the middle of the windshield and will not immediately come back on. twice, in the past month, i have had to abruptly pull off the road because of not being able to see through the windshield. this is extremely dangerous and will most certainly cause an accident at some point in time, if it already hasn't. the dealership (white bear dodge, in mn) suggested i replace the multi function switch, which i did and paid $273.45, but it did not correct the problem. also, after very little time researching this exact problem via message boards and forums on the internet, it is quite apparent to me that this is a common problem on many year, makes and models of dodge/plymouth/chrysler mini vans. i purchased this car in nov. 2004 and have experienced this problem each time it has rained, or snowed. *ak | |||

Since i have had this vehicle, the air bag light comes on and will stay on thus i do not know if the air bag would work or not if needed. my cruise control alternates working and not as does the check engine light. most of the time the check engine light is on and everytime i have had it checked, i have been told they reset it and everything look good. the computer does not show anything wrong. the cruise will come on sometimes and it will not at others. i think this vehicle as well as others i have talked to has a defect and i would like to see you check it out and have them do a recall and correct the electrical problems. i took my vehicle back several times during the first few months i had it for repairs and the same type probles keep occurring. my wipers will also at times come on with out being turned on. my sisters caravan does the same thing.*ak | |||

Vehicle has been having ongoing problem with windshield wipers since vehicle was purchased. windshield wipers do not work properly in the rain. windshield wipers would either stop working or change speeds on their own. also, when thedy are on while wet, and consumer attempts to turn them off, windshield wipers would continue to move, even while the engine is turned off. vehicle has been taken to the dealership on numerous occasions, and have been replaced. per technician, no further repairs were going to be made since there were no remedies to the problem. *ak | |||

Windshield wipers would work intermittently. would come on or go off on their own. this caused visibility problems for driver. also, turn signal sometimes activated windshield wipers. speed was not a factor. taken vehicle to dealership & informed to contact manufacturer. no repairs done. | |||

Windsheild wipers stop functioning in the middle of the winsheild. the wipers start functioning again after i operate the switch again, but they start and stop continiously. i have had the multi-function switch replaced (proven not-defective as per dealer), and the failure still persists. in fact, it seems that every caravan owner i speak to has the same problem. | |||
