I have read time and time again about the power train module or computer going out on the Dodge 2003 Caravans and shouldn't this be a recall by now? the van runs beautiful but will stop at any time while driving! why do we have to wait for so many people to die before it is a recall? I want my van fixed but knowing this has been and still is a problem with Dodge and they should be held accountable!.
Car has been making loud "pop" sounds when steering wheel is turned to the left. The sound is not continuous. It may not happen again for another 2-3 weeks. Car continues to drive until it happens again within another week or two. It came to complete halt while turning in my driveway on may 10th 2008. Towed car to firestone Sunday may 11th and on Monday may 12th was told that they could not hear any sounds when driven and could see nothing wrong from inspection. Knocking sounds could possibly mean transmission. My car was driven home from firestone by my brother-in-law who also did not hear any sounds. Sounds occur randomly when you least expect. On Wednesday may 14th my brother who works at a Ford dealership drove it to work for a second opinion they too can see nothing wrong with the car. I am very frightened to drive this car fairing the worst is yet to come. First occurrence was on April 22nd 2008.
Bought a 2003 sport grand Caravan on Dec 30, 2003. The same day, I discovered the vehical vibrate on reverse on gentle slope. Later, test drive two other new 2003 sport grand Caravan = less vibration. Test drive 2002 (13000 miles) sport grand Caravan = no vibration at all. The dealer acknowledge the problem and refuse to fix the problem because there is no recall from the manufacturer.
