| 1996 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR | THIS VEHICLE HAS GONE THROUGH 5 ALTERNATOR/POWER STEERING BELTS (SERPENTINE) AND 3 BELT TENSIONERS OVER A PERIOD FROM 1/30/98 (12,858 MILES) TO 9/29/00 (39,761 MILES). THIS SEEMS TO BE FAR TOO MANY PROBLEMS FROM THIS COMPONENT AND COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF IT FAILS WHILE DRIVING (NO POWER STEERING). |
| 2003 | POWER TRAIN | BOUGHT A 2003 SPORT GRAND CARAVAN ON DEC 30, 2003. THE SAME DAY, I DISCOVERED THE VEHICAL VIBRATE ON REVERSE ON GENTLE SLOPE. LATER, TEST DRIVE TWO OTHER NEW 2003 SPORT GRAND CARAVAN = LESS VIBRATION. TEST DRIVE 2002 (13000 MILES) SPORT GRAND CARAVAN = NO VIBRATION AT ALL. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL FROM THE MANUFACTURER. |
