| I own a 2003 dodge caravan this vehicle has had a repetitive problem of driver side passenger window motors stop working. upon a visit to a dodge dealer ship in my area of orlando florida the repair person admitted that these a bad parts and continue to have the problem with many dodge vehicles. also my second problem he admits is also a common problem of the vehicle which is the a/c to leak into the passenger side carpet causing mold to be created until you realize the problem exist. i took my vehicle to be repaired at the dealership and after hearing the repair man say that this happens to majority of the vehicles they repair i decided not to repair it and instead complain to all agencies including daimler chrysler who's respond is the item is out of warranty. yet they receive the same complaints over and over and refuse to recall items they know to be faulty. i learned and will never purchase a dodge. i feel that this automaker should be reviewed and asked to recall items that are faulty instead of making money repairing parts they know are faulty and will continue to malfunction. i have a vehicle with mold and mildew due to the leakage problem they are aware that exist on this a/c unit. *nm | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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 | |||
