#741823March 2, 2001
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1. TRANSMISSION SOLENOID BODY LOCKS TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE/2/1 RANGE. (THE TRANSMISSION CANNOT BE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, REVERSE OR PARK WITHOUT A GREAT AMOUNT OF FORCE.) DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY RESETS THE CONTROLS AND ALLOWS THE GEARS TO BE CHANGED NORMALLY FOR A MONTH OR SO. 2. IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR STICKS IN THE OPEN POSITION, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO IDLE AT A HIGH RPM (1000 TO START WITH, MORE IF NOT REPLACED RIGHT AWAY). THIS MAKES STOPPING THE VEHICLE MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT. *AK

#736346November 15, 2000
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
FRONT HEADLAMP PLASTIC LENSES OF THIS MODEL GROW OPAQUE WITH TIME AND VERY LITTLE LIGHT IS ABLE TO PASS THROUGH MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. THE MODEL INCLUDES YEARS 1991 THROUGH 1995 AND POSSIBLY THE MODEL PREVIOUS. THE LACK OF LIGHT AT NIGHT IS A ROAD HAZARD BOTH TO THE DRIVER AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THERE IS POSSIBLY A DEFECT IN THE TYPE OF PLASTIC USED OR A REACTION WITH THE HEAT OF THE LAMPS WITH THE PLASTIC. I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN CLEAR FRONT LENSE IN THESE MODELS WHICH INCLUDE THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, CARAVAN, PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER AND VOYAGER. *AK
