Axle problem summary: I took my 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan in on a Friday to the dealer for the air bag recall (clockspring- which by the way the airbag really stays on now, where it did not before the dealer replaced/repaired the clockspring) and plus the dealer called me to tell me that had found a leak in the master cylinder which they wanted to fix. I said yes (now I see there are several complaints about master cylinder leaks) I picked up my van up on Friday evening after work. Saturday morning I ran a couple of errands around town and at 12:30 p. M. Began to back out of a parking spot and heard a loud noise. I proceeded out of the parking structure and only made it as far as the street before coming to a complete stop. I called for a tow. The tow truck driver said that my wheel on the front driver's side did not appear to be completely attached to the axle. He towed it to the dealer. The service department on Monday informed me that my cv joint/axle had broken. A broken axle on a 2000 that has 18,222 miles on it. How does this happen under normal driving conditions? my kids and I were lucky that I was not going fast or driving down a freeway. Now I see on the news this morning that there is a recall for dakota trucks and durangos, but not caravans. What's up with that?.

Since purchase of vehicle we have had an ongoing noise from the rear axles of the van. We have reported this at every service and the vehicle has had one of the rear axles replaced. Dealer states this is a common problem with 4 wheel drive Mini-vans and that reduced milage on rear brakes is common. We had less than 30k miles on a set of rear disc brakes and pad failure resulted in damage to one rotor. We have owned many different vehicles and have never had such poor performance of rear brakes.

The rear axle warped. When the rear tire vibrated and made an erratic sound, the consumer pulled over and discovered the one rear tire had worn to the cord. (the second tire showed severe wear).

My Grand Caravan was hit from behind with such force the rear of the van lifted off the ground. At impact my drivers seat broke, reclining me, making it impossible for me to reach the brakes to stop my van. I hit the center median (fast lane) with the left front fender, blowing the tire and breaking axle the van then bounced across lanes hitting bridge railing and cement wall with right front fender blowing that tire and then back to the median (fast lane), and came to a stop against the median. I was told by the insurance investagator my caravan was beyond repair due to the amount of damage.

Trans axle failed completely. Yh.
