Three problems related to dashboard failed have been reported for the 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I only owned the van for about 2 weeks(it was used) and all my gauges went out. The first time I turned on the mirror button it came back on for a few days went out again. The second time it happened I turned on the wipers it came back on for about a day, then it went out completely. It seems alot of people have the same problems.
Caravan will attempt to start then stalls out. Once done 3 times it will not start for hours or days. All gauges fail at this time as well. Dealer cannot duplicate so tries to charge me for replacing various parts. Dodge needs to be responsible and place a recall on this problem.
After having my transmission replace I noticed everything on my dash was dead, my abs and alarm set light would come on. It only stayed that way for a few minutes and then everything would come back on, but then the problem only got worse. I would try to start the van but when I did it would shut back off because my dash gauges were not working and my abs light was on. I have 3 kids and I depend on my van for transportation. I went on a website " topix" and found that there are alot of people with the same problem, also that is how I got this address. It seems like nobody has the right solution, there are just different suggestions. I think there should be a recall so that way everybody can stop wasting money on what repair shops try (say) and let Dodge figure it out and compensate for all of the hassles, missed appointments, and everything else.
