Two problems related to battery dead have been reported for the 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
We could insert the key into the ignition but it would not turn the ignition switch. Thsi happened many times before 10/28, but we were always able to get it started later. This time we could not. I contacted dealer in colorado, where we now live, and they suggested that we bring in the car. They looked it over on 11/1/99 and said that the ignition, cylinder lock needed to be repaired. I asked why this failed and they could not give any reason other than it was no good. I do not feel that at only 39000 miles this major piece should have failed, they agreed but said there was nothing they could do. Dealer was: cheery creek Dodge, 2727 s. Havana st. Denver, CO 80014, 303-751-1104. What was strange was the battery died at same time, could have been related, do not know. Total cost of repairs was $322.
Battery failed. Yh.
