| I purchased this vehicle used in 2011 and about three months later i took into the dealer for an oil change and they said i need to change out my rack/pinion/steering since it had a small leak. now i have a larger leak underneath the van wherever i park. i checked myself to see that the small plastic clamps have come loose and transmission fluid was leaking out. that did not fix it since it is now leaking in the front passenger side. also i have a sunroof that leaks when we wash the van and when it rains, i have cleaned out the drains but the seal is worn down and i would have to purchase the entire assemble to fix the problem at $500 for the part does not include labor? i am happy with the vehicle other than the lemon part of the axle going bad. *tr | |||

| I own a 2006 dodge grand caravan with approx 40k, i have never had daytime running lights which seems odd but my main complaint is one of my power sliding doors wont open when i press the button on my key or the button on the dash, it seems to not be unlocking. if you manually unlock the door from the inside and then press the button then the door opens fine. i see numerous other people on line with the same exact problem which makes me wonder why dodge has done nothing. *tr | |||

| Automatic door locks on rear sliding doors with powered door closures. the cam that allows the door lock/unlock circuit to complete gets out of position and blocks the lock/unlock from occurring. happens whenever an object blocks the door from closing. door will not lock/unlock via buttons for 16 attempts in a row, regardless of time between interrupt and attempt to lock/unlock. could hamper vehicle evacuation. *tr | |||

| Our 2006 dodge grand caravan with less the 28,000 felt like it would not fully stop when hitting the brakes. i already had the front brakes done and take it to the dealer routinely for oil change and inspection. so i thought it was the tires since they were greatly worn (which is hard to believe @ this mileage) we changed all 4 tires. when we took it in to the dealer for an oil change and to get the automatic door failure looked @ they found the rear brakes were completely worn out and when they went to change the pads and machine the rotors it was so bad that everything started braking on them . mechanics own description on receipt ck. brakes are scrubbing in rear rotors were rusted to hub. pins for parking brake shoes to backing plate broke when taking off. replaced brake pins & 2 broken wheel stubs. chrysler has no respect for customers safety. tires and brakes are worthless, automatic doors malfunction all these are safety issues! not to mention there cars are lemons water pump broken, issues with air bag, engine light on (5 times) and air conditioning all this with less then 28,000 miles on the car. when is government going to stop giving these thieves bail out money and going to dedicate time to keeping us safe and not allowing car manufactures to rip us off! i am a mother of 4 and fear for my family's safety not to mention that these rip offs really hurt family's financially. *tr | |||
