LOST AND FOUND ITEMS THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HIDE ON IMPORTANT PERSONAL ITEMS. FOR EXAMPLE, CREDIT OR DEBIT CARDS. THIS IS IN THE ARMREST CONSOLE. THIS CAUSES ARGUMENTS BETWEEN THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGERS. THIS CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AS IT CAUSES SUSPICION OF ATTEMPTED ILLEGAL APPROPRIATION. NOBODY TOUCHED THE CARD BUT THE DESIGN OF THE TRUCK YES. IT IS NOT OBVIOUS TO DECIPHER THE ENIGMA. RECALL, PLEASE. REFERENCE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=4ZJ2BDOVFLO IMAGINE YOU ARE WITH A NEW FRIEND AND YOUR CREDIT CARD DISAPPEAR.!! IN MOTION JUST BEFORE YOUR TURN IN A ATH CAR LINE. I SOLD IT. MAYBE A LITTLE STICKER CAN SOLVE THIS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILING DRIVING. IGNITION SWITCH WOULD CHANGE POSITIONS IF BUMPED OR WHILE DRIVING OVER ROUGH TERRAIN. THUS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. 2008-2011 MODEL YEARS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE FOR THE 2012 MODEL YEAR, WHICH USES THE SAME PART, TO BE RECALLED AS WELL.

THE COOLING SYSTEM STARTED A LEAK NEAR THE FIREWALL WHERE ARE THE METAL TUBING CONNECTS 2 EACH Y PLASTIC CONNECTORS. IT IS ONE SOLID PIECE THAT WRAPS AROUND THE TOP OF THE ENGINE AND FACTORY PRICE IS $185 NO THIRD PARTY AVAILABLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE Y CONNECTORS THEY ARE MADE OF VERY VERY THIN ABS PLASTIC. AT 125000 MILES HAD TO REPLACE IT TWICE WITHIN 50000 MILES THE SECOND TIME I USED 2 EACH BRASS TEE CONNECTORS WITH ADDITIONAL 5/8 HEATER HOSE AND SPLICED IT TOGETHER FOR A BETTER STRONGER CONNECTION. THIS HAS MADE THE FOURTH HIGH PRESSURE LEAK I'VE HAD AND 60,000 MILES.

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR IS UNRESPONSIVE. THE DOOR DOESN'T OPEN OR CLOSE MANUALLY, WITH THE POWER BUTTON, OR WITH THE KEY FOB. ALL THE OTHER DOORS WORK AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO. WHEN THE BUTTON ON THE FOB IS PRESSED, THE VEHICLE LIGHTS FLASH, ACKNOWLEDGING THE COMMAND, HOWEVER NOTHING HAPPENS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT MY HOME, AND WHILE TRYING TO LOAD MY INFANT CHILDREN INTO THEIR CAREERS, WE DISCOVERED THE DOOR WAS INOPERABLE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH A FUSE, BECAUSE THE PASSENGER SLIDER IS ON THE SAME FUSE AND WORKS FINE. I CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR TO INSPECT THE WIRING HARNESSES; BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A POORLY DESIGNED WIRING HARNESS OR PROBLEM WITH THE ACTUATOR. IF MY VEHICLE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, I WOULD BE UNABLE TO FREE MY CHILDREN FROM THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO LOW OIL PRESSURE CAUSED BY FAULTY ENGINE CONNECTING RODS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. SWANTYS DODGE (2494 SOUTH HWY 95, BULLHEAD CITY, AZ) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 261,000.

THE LOCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. THE DOOR IS STUCK AND WILL NOT OPEN SINCE THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS STUCK. IT WILL NOT OPEN MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY. IT CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING HAPPENED, THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED TO LET MY CHILDREN OUT.

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG FAILURE REPORTED TO DODGE IN 2003 AND MANY ATTEMPTS TO HAVE IT FIXED HAVE FAILED. CODE SAYS PASSANGER AIR BAG DEFECTIVE AND AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. IN MANY YEARS THE DEALER HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEY SIMPLY RESET THE CODE TO TURN THE LIGHT OFF AND LATER IT COMES BACK ON. THE FIRST REPORTED FAILURES WERE UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEN THEY CHARGE $ 100.00 TO TURN THE LIGHT AND THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES IN THE PAST YEARS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM (NOT A WEAR ITEM) AND SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE DEALER NOW WANTS OVER A 1,000 TO REMOVE THE DASH ASM JUSTR TO DETERMINE IF IT IS A WIRING, CONNECTION PROBLEM OR IF THE AIR BAG IS ACTUALLY BAD. I HAVE ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS VERIFYING MY CLAIM.

STEERING
STEERING WHEEL HAS A SUPPORT BRACKET AT THE BOTTOM WHERE IS YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL YOU CAN GET YOUR FINGER STUCK IN THE WHEEL AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET IT OUT EASILY. I DID THIS BY ACCIDENT AND HAD A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING MY FINGER FREE WHILE TRYING TO STEER THE VAN. ALSO THE SPACE AROUND THE HORN BUTTON IS SUCH IF YOU HAVE BUTTONS ON A SPORT'S JACKET THOSE BUTTONS CAN GET CAUGHT UNDER THE HORN BUTTON AND MAKES CONTROLLING THE STEERING WHEEL ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. SO WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL IF ANY OF THESE CONDITIONS HAPPEN YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE THE CONTROL OF THE STEERING THAT ONE WOULD NEED. I JUST LOOKED AT THE DODGE SITE AND THEY STILL ARE USING THE SAME DESIGN ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAS HAPPENED TO BE VERY MUCH BUT WHEN I AM MORE AWARE OF THIS AND I DO NOT WEAR THAT JACKET WHILE DRIVING THIS VAN.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY VAN DRAWS DOWN THE BATTERY, FOUND THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT SHUTTING OFF. THE TIPM IS BAD AND I CONTINUE TO WRESTLE WITH THE PROBLEM. WHEN I FIRST COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME I HAD A DEAD CELL IN MY BATTERY. THEY SAID TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. I ALLOWED THEM TO REPLACE IT. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER , THE CAR WOULD NOT START. SAME PROBLEM, OVER AND OVER. THE FUEL PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO RUN, NOW I HAVE TO PULL THE FUSE SO AS TO NOT DRAIN MY BATTERY AND HOPE AND PRAY THE VAN WILL START. ONCE IT STARTS, I TEND NOT TO SHUT IT OFF BUT THIS WEEK IT HAS BEEN STALLING ON ME AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY. IT STALLED ON ST RD 74, WHICH IS A 4 LANE HIGH WAY THAT IS HEAVILY TRAVELED THRU MY TOWN. IS THERE ANY CLASS ACTION SUITS GOING ON FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM? I SAW ONE RAN BACK IN 2013, I THINK IT WAS WITH THE CHRYSLER CORP. NEED HELP TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE ONCE AND FOR ALL. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM
