STRUCTURE, TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
I PURCHASED A DODGE GRAND CARAVAN NEW IN 2005. YESTERDAY I HAD A FLAT TIRE AND TRIED TO ACCESS THE SPARE TIRE. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE AS IT WAS FROZEN IN PLACE. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUGGESTED I USE A PRY BAR TO FREE IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND BELIEVING THEY HAVE A SPARE TIRE WHILE IN REALITY, THE SPARE IS INACCESSIBLE. I COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED OR IN AN UNSAFE AREA. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
I PURCHASED TWO GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES ON 6/10/11 FROM DUNCAN'S AUTO REPAIR IN LINCOLNTON, NC. YESTERDAY, 8/7/11, I DROVE LESS THAN 5 MILES FROM MY HOME TO PICK UP DINNER AND BACK HOME (ALL ON HARD SURFACE ROADS). THERE WAS NO DEBRIS IN THE ROAD, I DID NOT RUN OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. WHEN I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, I HEARD A HISSING NOISE AND FOUND THAT MY TIRE WAS RAPIDLY GOING FLAT. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE TIRE OFF AND FOUND THAT THE INSIDE SIDEWALL ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS SPLIT IN THREE PLACES. HE PUT THE SPARE TIRE ON SO THAT I COULD GO TO DUNCAN'S AUTO REPAIR IMMEDIATELY THE NEXT MORNING. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH PRIOR TO TAKING THE TIRE TO THE SHOP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND SAW MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR SIDEWALL SPLITS IN GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES. I HAVE THREE OTHER GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES ON MY CAR, ALL LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SIMILAR INCIDENTS. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT GOING ABOVE 55 MPH AND DID NOT HAVE MY TWO CHILDREN WITH ME. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED IF I HAD BEEN GOING FASTER OR WAS FURTHER FROM HOME. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE POWER LOCKS ON THE 2005 DODGE CARAVAN COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING . A QUICK FIX IS TO PULL THE IOD FUSE FOR FIVE SECONDS AND PUT IT BACK . IT WILL WORK FOR A LITTLE WHILE THEN LOCKS GONE AGAIN. THOUGH THE VEHICLE DOES AUTOMATIC LOCK AT 15MPH STILL. THIS POSES A ISSUE BECAUSE IF IN AN ACCIDENT YOU WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOORS TO GET OUT .FORUMS HAVE BEEN POSTING THIS ISSUE FOR AWHILE WHILE DODGE WILL NOT RECALL. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY ELECTRICAL ISSUE THE RESISTER TO THE BLOWER MOTOR WILL CONTINUOUSLY GO OUT . PERSONALLY I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY 4 TIMES IN ONE YEAR ALREADY. I BELIEVE DODGE NEEDS TO FIND A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO ITS ELECTRICAL ISSUES BEFORE SOMETHING WORSE HAPPENS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY AND 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN MALFUNCTIONS WHILE DRIVING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. *TR THE SWITCH ON SOME OF THESE VEHICLES SEEM TO BE INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. THERE ARE 4 SETTINGS ON THE SWITCH THAT WHEN CONNECTED WILL TURN ON THE LIGHTS APPROPRIATELY. IN SOME CASES THE SWITCH IS MISALIGNED AND THE CONTACT WILL EITHER NOT WORK AT ALL, OR, MAKE RANDOM DISCONNECTIONS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AS THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE, KNOWN TO HAVE MULTIPLE PASSENGERS. IF THE HEADLIGHT FAIL AT NIGHT, THIS COULD BE DEADLY. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS FORUMS, AND BLOGS DESCRIBING THESE ISSUES WITH TOWN AND COUNTRY, AND CARAVAN, AND GRAND CARAVAN OWNERS. THE FAILURE OCCURS RANDOMLY, AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS IS TO EITHER OPEN/REPAIR THE SWITCH, OR REPLACE THE SWITCH. CURRENTLY I AM HAVING TO FLIP THIS SWITCH OFF AND ON BACK AND FORTH UNTIL THE CONTACTS CONNECT. IF IT DOES NOT WORK, THEN I HAVE TO DRIVE WHILE I HOLD THE HI-BEAMS ON. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR MYSELF NOR OTHER DRIVERS DRIVING TOWARD ME.
