| Soon after temperatures went below freezing, the blower fan stopped working in my vehicle. therefore, sufficient heat could not be brought through vehicle to warm passengers, defrost windows, and most dangerously, keep windows from fogging up while driving. at first the dealership replaced the resistor switch - but 2 days later it happened again, today they replaced the blower motor and i have yet to see if it will continue to be a problem. they suggested a defect where moisture may be getting inside the blower motor & freezing, causing it to burn out. *jb | |||

| I had purchased a 2006 dodge sxt caravan,the end of sept, 2006. in feb during the snow and ice i had notice a crack in the cowl. the ice had frozen underneath and completely damaded the cowl. the dealer failed to get back to me, after a month i called they just stated they refuse to replace this saying it was damaged due to external force though there was no external force? this is cheap thin flexible plastic that should have not cracked completely across this cowl, now. please help. any water entering on the windshield does not hold from the loose molding and broken cowl around the front windshield, this is continuing to get worse. i also have a crack in the sliding glass window left side door. *tr | |||

| We were on our way back from tennessee, it was raining very hard, and the windshield wipers just stopped suddenly. i could hear a winning noise coming from them. we had to pull over to the side of a very busy highway and sit there because we could not see at all to drive. we were in a very dangerous situation so i called the jellico tennessee police department and they were on their way to sit with us until the rain stopped and there was a bad wreck in front of us and they all had to go there. fortunately, we were all ok and the wipers were fixed. there were no warning signs to let us know there was a problem with the wipers before hand. *jb | |||
