I HAVE A DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 2003. IT DID OK FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER THAT IT HAS BEEN ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER. WHEN I'M WAITING TO GO ON A ROAD IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF BRAKE IT STARTS ROLLING BACKWARD FAST. YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE BRAKE WHILE PUSHING THE GAS TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING BACK. IT'S STEERING HAS GIVEN ME TROUBLE, THE GAS GAUGE HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS, ETC.... I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE SEVERAL TIMES, BUT HAVE GOTTEN NO HELP FROM THEM. *JB
