CARS THAT DON'T LAST PAST THE FINANCING... AMERICAN BUILDS PLASTIC CRAP FOR HIGH DOLLAR, AND SOME HOW ARE PROUD OF IT. PAY $51000 FOR A TRUCK AND THE WINDOW REGULATORS GO BAD ONE BY ONE,,,,FORD BUILD CRAP.

MANUFACTURES DON'T KNOW HOW TO BUILD CARS ONLY HOW TO MAKE THEM PRETTY, FOR THE MONEY KNOWING THEY HAVE MANUFACTURED PARTS DESIGNED TO FAIL AND THERE FOR RIPPING THE CONSUMER TO KEEP THEIR JOBS.

CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY? I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN, SEE CRAIG'S LIST FOR MY TRUCK.

Grand Caravan SE Plus 3.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 86,000 miles

Purchased car used in 2012, noticed some bubbling along the front of the hood. This has progressed to severe rust and a piece of the hood about the size of a quarter rusting off. I have noticed every other car my age/model has the same rust pattern on the hood, as if it were a defective paint job.

I own a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, the clear coat has started peeling off, and now the paint is flaking off. I can start seeing the metal of the van, also I have rust not only where the clear coat and paint have flaked off but also in and around all of my door jams. I have taken care of the van with regular washing and waxes, but obviously it was a large waste of my time.

clear coat bubbling and peeling off

I have taken my van to two different body shops. I am told my van has "cancer." It will cost about $4,000 to fix it. Dodge will not do anything because it is out of warranty. I have maintained my van and have never had a vehicle do this to me before.

Grand Caravan SXT 3.8L

  • Automatic transmission

I can't believe this is happening. I have a 2000 and the paint is fine and it is Metallic Gold. The 2005 is white, but the clear coat has yellowed and peeling all over.
