SERVICE BRAKES
WE HAVE A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WE ARE GETTING TO THE POINT THAT THIS VAN IS NOT WORTH THE STRESS. WE DID NOT GET THIS VAN BRAND NEW HOWEVER IT DIDN'T HAVE MANY MILES, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT 62,000 ON IT. LESS THEN A YEAR AGO WE HAD TO FIX ALL FOUR BRAKES AND ROTORS (AT 65,000 MILES) . LAST WEEK WHEN IT WENT FOR INSPECTION (AT 73600 MILES) IT WOULDN'T PASS BECAUSE OF THE ROTORS, SO ONCE AGAIN WE HAD TO GET THEM FIXED. WE ARE ON DAY 7 AND ARE ALREADY SEEING THE SAME PROBLEM AND KNOWING WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE THEM FIXED AGAIN! I CAN TELL BY HOW THE VAN IS SQUEALING THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND ROTORS AGAIN SOON. WE HAVE ALREADY SPENT OVER $1500 IN THE SAME REPAIRS IN LESS THEN A YEAR. I HAVE LOOKED UP DODGE VANS AND I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SERIOUSLY I HAVE A FAMILY AND IF THESE BRAKES AND ROTORS FAIL I WILL NOT BE HAPPY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE IS NO RECALL AFTER FINDING SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS VAN. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, ENGINE HESITATED AND KILLED. AFTER RESEARCHING, DETERMINED THIS IS A FUEL TANK VALVE ISSUE COMMON TO MINIVANS. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, OBVIOUS MANUFACTURE DEFECT. VALVE ALLOWS LIQUID GAS INTO VAPOR SYSTEM. ISSUE STILL EXISTS, TEMPORARY FIX IS TO NOT FILL TANK COMPLETELY WHEN REFUELING. EXPENSIVE REPAIR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NUMEROUS TIMES RIGHT AFTER I FUEL UP, THE VAN SPUTTERS, SHAKES, AND THE ENGINE QUITS. EVEN IF I HOLD THE GAS PEDAL STEADY, IT JERKS AS IF I WAS PRESSING THE PEDAL QUICKLY THEN LETTING GO. WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT, THE ENGINE DIES COMPLETELY. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FUEL UP. IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEYOND 1 DAY AFTER I FUEL UP. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I FILL UP AT, NOR THE QUALITY OF THE FUEL I BUY, THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS. ONE TIME THE ENGINE EVEN QUIT WHILE I WAS DRIVING! (USUALLY IT QUITS WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.) IT TAKES 2-3 TRIES AND THEN THE ENGINE STARTS AGAIN AND THE VAN SHAKES, JERKS, AND SPUTTERS ONCE AGAIN AS IF IT IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
DASH LIGHTS INDICATING FAILURE OF STABILITY CONTROL AND BRAKE FORCE HELP HAVE ILLUMINATED AND WON'T RESET. MECHANIC STATES VEHICLE REQUIRES STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. GETTING PART FOR REPAIR SEEMS TO BE DIFFICULT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY AREA AS ROADS ARE HEAVILY COVERED IN SNOW AND ICE FOR MONTHS AT A TIME.

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS VAN EATS BRAKES. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE NUMEROUS REPAIRS TO MY BRAKING SYSTEM DONE APPROXIMATELY EVERY 25,000 MILES AT GREAT COST. BRAKE CALIPERS FREEZE UP, ROTORS WARP AND PADS WEAR OUT FROM HANGING UP. BRAKES THEN BECOME DIFFICULT TO MODULATE AND VIBRATION CAUSED BY ATTEMPTING TO STOP FROM INTERSTATE SPEEDS MAKE VEHICLE CONTROL DIFFICULT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FOR YEARS MY POWER LOCKS HAVE NOT WORKED ON MY 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR, NOT ONLY DO THE LOCKS NOT FUNCTION, BUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR IS LOCKED, AND I CANNOT UNLOCK IT. THE COST TO REPLACE THE DOOR IS EQUIVALENT TO THE THE COST OF A HEALTHY DOWN PAYMENT ON A CAR, AND THE COST-PROHIBITIVE NATURE OF THE REPAIR MEANS THAT THE DOOR IN QUESTION CANNOT BE REPAIRED. I WOULD ASSERT THAT THE INABILITY TO OPEN THE DOORS ON A PASSENGER VEHICLE CREATES AN DANGER TO ANY WOULD-BE PASSENGERS. IF THERE WERE AN ACCIDENT, THEN A PERCEIVED METHOD OF EGRESS IS RENDERED UNAVAILABLE BY THESE FAULTY PARTS.
