| I have 2006 dodge caravan with about 70000 kms. just found out that there's leak in rack o pinion which leaks out the power steering fluid and its going to cost about $900 to fix it. don't understand why there's been no recall yet even though there has been thousands of complaints about it and seems like a known issue to manufacturer. | |||

| Have had '06 grand sxt to dealer twice about sliding doors on both pass/drive side. in trying to close door using either push button/remote/visor button door will clunk and door motor runs for 2~3 seconds and door does not move. dealer has replaced door motors twice... i think this is becoming close to being a lemon ! that was one of the buying points of this model was electric doors :((((( been very dissatisfied thus far. *tr | |||
