general problems of the 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan

Nothing unusual leading up to this. Had a check engine light. When we brought it to the dealer, there was a small leak on the fuel filler neck. The car was only 5 years old and is washed, garaged every night, and taken care of. Fuel necks should not be failing in such short time.

When refueling, I slightly bumped the gas door and it broke in two. Not a real big deal, but it is made of plastic and it broke very easily. Not a great design. Have there been more complaints of this problem? thank you.

I only have 25,000 miles on my 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan. (1) the sway bar links were repaired twice, and parts are on back order for a third repair. (2) I had to replace the front brakes after only 14,000 miles, and they are half gone already at 25,000 miles, plus the rear brakes have to be replaced. (3) the engine has a flat spot during acceleration, and I get about 11 miles per gallon in the city, and about 15-16 miles per gallon on the highway. It stated it got 18 miles per gallon in the city, and 24 miles per gallon on the highway. (4) the transmission makes a moaning sound; the power steering was leaking fluid, (5) I had to replace the battery the first summer I had it, the anti lock brakes went out early this summer (6) the driver?s side window would not roll up when we were at bear country USA surrounded by bears (7) the shift gear lever sometimes slips from drive to neutral, and I have had that looked at twice (8) the cruise control went out last summer.

Fuel leak was causing loss of power. Vehicle has been towed to dealership.

Fuel system part cracked in tow crash test, an explosion fire could result after a collision. This system need to be corrected.
