First and foremost, I see 822 previous complaints (most refer to the exact same problems) with no sign of any intent by the NHTSA-odi or the manufacturer to respond and/or rectify this situation. Electrical problems: vehicle repeatedly loses power and stalls while driving. Power door locks stopped working completely from both interior switches and the key fob; will not lock or unlock any of the 5 doors from interior. Manually able to lock and unlock doors individually. Unable to lock back hatch with key fob or from inside vehicle therefore, vehicle remains unlocked. Both power sliding doors and power hatch stopped working. Other mechanical problems: vehicle shakes uncontrollably when applying brakes downhill; new brake pads installed, problem still exhists. My nieghbors had the exact same problems with their 2005 town and country. Bottom line: this is a widespead safety issue that requires immediate action. Unfortunately, as you can clearly see below, it is highly unlikely that any of us will ever see a response by the manufacturer, NHTSA-odi or anyone else for that matter. The manufacturer has no intent to admit responsibility and help consumers resolve this issue. Without action by the NHTSA-odi we as consumers do not stand a chance in solving this problem.
I was braking as I was descending a hill on the highway when the front brakes got so hot that my automobile started to shimmy. I stopped and discovered that my right front brakes were on fire. I had my front brakes pads and rotors replaced about 7,000 miles ago with mopar value line brakes at the Dodge dealership. My vehicle is a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan with 56,380 miles on it.
Cracks in roof under plastic molding in body assembly , which was not covered after 36,000 miles,denied by Dodge but some assistance from dealer after yelling, caused water leakage into right pillar assembly , floor compartment and unknowing to us sub carpeting. Our worries are structural safety , mold and odor possibly electrical wiring and if there are more in roof that we don't know about ,and on added note premature disc brake wear rotors and pads date is approximate have to look up service record ,dealer greenfield Dodge lawrenceville NJ.
