Sway Bar problems of the 2001 Dodge Caravan

Vehicle has been serviced multiple times for repair or replacement of sway bar bushing or sway bar links dating back from 03' until present.

I recently had to take my 2001 Caravan in for servicing at charapp Dodge north (natrona heights, PA 15065)and I had a $100. 00 deductible. The mechanic servicing my vehicle told me that I had a bad sway bar link and bushings, which required him to replace the bushing - sway eliminator and the link-sway eliminator. I feel this could not be correct as my vehicle is a 2001 and these parts should not have worn out as soon as they did. I have two friends with the same year vehicles but one is a Dodge and the other is a Chrysler and they are experiencing the same problem I did and we all bought our vehicle within a month and a half of each other. I feel I should not have had to pay for this repair because I believe the parts to be defective coming from the assembly line from where these vehicles were built.

Consumer had the sway bar links replaced for the third time in the past 18 months. Manufacturer insisted that there was nothing they could do.

All seem to be related to a handling problem. The van/motorhome violently wanders at highway speeds, 60 + mph. It is extremly difficult to handle the vehicle. When you pay $60k plus for a vehicle, you expect a better handling vechicle than this van/motorhome. I'm very disapointed with Dodge. The rear sway bar was replaced, but with no improvement in the handling. The handling is even worse when there's a slight side wind. I don't know much about the "lemon law" but if I could return the vechicle to Dodge and get the purchase price back, I would do it as soon as possible. I don't know what it might take to fix the handling problem, stronger front springs, different tires, different steering box, different steering rods and arms, but something needs to get changed at Dodge's expense.
