TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
FIRESTONE TIRES SPLIT ON THE SIDE WITH LESS THAN AVERAGE MILEAGE. I PURCHASED 4 TIRES APPROXIMATELY 03/10 16 MONTHS ONE TIRE HAD 2-3 SPLITS ON THE SIDE WALL. SEARS WAS UNWILLING TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE TIRE. ON 03/12 I HAS A SECOND TIRE WITH SIMILAR SPLITS AND SEARS REPLACED THE TIRE BECAUSE IT WAS DEEMED FAULTY. THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE OTHER THREE TIRES. THIS TIRE MODEL SEEMS FAULTY AND I AM MAKING A REQUEST THAT THE MANUFACTURE REPLACE/RECALL THE TIRE FOR SAFETY REASONS. *JS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLES HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT TURN ON. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THE LIGHTS WORKED FINE WHEN LEAVING THE HOUSE AND THEN WOULD NOT TURN ON WHEN LEAVING TO RETURN HOME. THIS HAS CAUSED US TO DRIVE HOME ON MULTIPLE OCCASION WITH NO HEADLIGHTS, OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND HAVE NOT HAD ANYONE FIND A PROBLEM, THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO WORK WHEN WE TAKE IT IN. WE REPLACED THE SWITCH TO NO AVAIL. WE SIMPLY DO NOT DRIVE IT WHEN WE THINK WE WILL BE OUT AFTER DARK. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM ONLINE, PLEASE MAKE DODGE FIND AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
OUR 2004 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WILL STALL OUT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IF YOU FILL THE GAS TANK UNTIL THE GAS PUMP NOZZLES STOPS AUTOMATICALLY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK BECAUSE OF A BAD VALVE IN THE TOP OF THE TANK IN THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. I FOUND THIS INFORMATION ON LINE. IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES AND WE NOW UNDER FILL THE TANK WHICH IS NOT EASY TO DO. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE HAVE A DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH ELECTRIC SIDE DOORS. THE MOTORS MECHANISM HAS STOPPED THE ABILITY FOR MY DAUGHTERS TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THEM MANUALLY. IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT I AM AFRAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THEM TO GET OUT. WHEN THE VAN WAS UNDER WARRANTY DODGE REPLACED ONE THAT WAS NOT AS BAD AS THEY BOTH ARE NOW. *TR

THE ABS UNIT IN MY DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AWD HAS AIR GOING INTO IT, CAUSING MY BRAKES TO HAVE NO PRESSURE. MY FOOT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP MY VEHICLE!!!! THIS IS NO GOOD I CARRY THREE CHILDREN IN MY CAR. I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY MECHANICS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE AND THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY TO FIX THIS. I'M BASICALLY RIDING IN A DEATH MOBILE. MY HUSBAND HAS NEVER SCENE SOOOO MUCH AIR COME OUT WHEN HE BLEEDS THE BRAKES. DODGE SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY!!!! *TR

1. METAL COOLANT LINES GOING TO REAR HEATER FAILED ,MASSIVE CORROSION WHERE THE HEATER HOSE ATTACHES TO THE PIPE COMPLETELY ROTTED/RUSTED OUT, THE VEHICLE HAD 75K MILES ON IT. 2.
