This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Instrument panel lights failed to work and caused a distraction to the driver. The consumer did not know what was going on with the vehicle due to the problem.
My 1999 Dodge Caravan "air bag" light illuminated. The horn and cruise control do not work. The dealer informed me that my clockspring needed replacement, but that my vehicle is not covered by the current recall. I find the explanation that my problem is "coincidental" to the recall of the 1996-1998 vehicles somewhat dubious. If the problem was that the clockspring was installed off center on the earlier vehicles causing a subsequent failure, is it not likely that my problem was similarly caused, warranting a repair at Chrysler's expense?
To: whom it may concerns: I am writing to you as a dissatisfied Dodge Caravan owner. I purchased my van brand new on March 1999. I have had consistent problems with the car, since the day I purchased it: A) on January 24, 2000 we replaced the, sensor, transax le, turbin input in the transmission. B) February 17, 2000 we replaced the battery. C) February 20, 2001. We replaced the evaporetor, suction line, liquid line and the coil in the air condition unit. D) replaced the window lift motor. E) January 8,2002 replaced sop belt tensioner coil. F) January 4,2002 replace the battery. G) March 2, 2002 replaced windshield washer pump. H) June 2, 2002 replaced fuel seal. I) November 13, 2002 replaced the high pressure valve of the A/C now they are asking us to replace the evaporetor and the compressor which was replaced by maroone Dodge on February 2001!!! all repairs were done at authorize Dodge dealer: Maroone Dodge located: 21151 N.w 2nd ave miami, fl 33169 tel: 305-653-6343. We feel that for 44,000 miles car we should not experienced so much problem especially with the A/C which was fixed in 2001.
