Three problems related to radiator have been reported for the 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Consumer complained about a rack and pinion steering and other problems. Consumer drove over a rough pothole with a metal flatbed on top at a low speed. While driving at a street at 25 mph consumer made a right turn and there was popping noise in the steering wheel. The noise was evident only when turning to the left or right. Took vehicle back to dealer, who said there was a problem with front alignment , but that was all. However, insurance company noted there were problems with rack and pinion steering /front alignment/ radiator, and the transmission pan. Also, consumer noted the engine light was constantly on and it smoked after driving a long period of time. Oil was changed regularly. Vehicle has had a recent front end alignment but no other repairs.
The radiator relay switch on my 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan keeps going out, causing radiator fans to not run and vehicle to overheat. This is third time. Once in April, July and now August. Dealer repalces relay each time and moves it on second time with new ground. Failed a third time.
Consumer had taken vehicle to mechanic for an oil change , and mechanic found out that anti-freez was leaking from head gasket. Then, took vehicle to dealer to be repaired, and drove home finding out that dealer did not put fluid in transmission, and had to return for repairs. Consumer states that dealer did not perform all repairs, only fixed head gasket, did not properly re-clamp fuel line. Consumer states there was transmission problem due to dealer possibly removing radiator and not properly re-attaching the transmission line, causing loss of transmission fluid and noise.
