| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2002 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | MY DODGE CARAVAN WORKED WELL UNTIL I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE TO REPLACE POWER STEERING HOSES. WHEN THAT REPAIR WAS COMPLETE, THE THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. AS SOON AS THE CAR WAS RETURNED FROM THAT REPAIR, THE FUEL GUAGE MALFUNCTIONED, AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE TRANSMISSION BROKE (AT 46000 MILES). EITHER A VERY BAD VEHICLE OR DEALERSHIP IS CAUSING DAMAGE DURING REPAIR WORK. |
| 1997 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING | CAR HAD SERIOUS DAMAGE WHOSES SOURCE CANNOT BE DETERMINED BY DEALER AND MANUFACTURE WILL NOT INVESTIGATE. |
