Repeated pulley and then belt failure causing steering and breaking trouble. Repairs do not last. Local dealers don't have laser alignment tool to check alignment. The internet is filled with belts flying off because of rain or slush in this vehicle, my pulleys just disintegrate with out the water. There seems to be a lot of aftermarket solutions but they seem hit or miss. It always happens when vehicle is being driven by grand mother with the grand children aboard far enough away for a $150.00 tow bill. Its lucky so fare its been on city streets and at low enough speeds that a place to safely pull over can be found. The pulleys that seem to fail are the idler and the tensioner pulleys. This 3.3 engine is well maintained with 145,000 miles. Though it seems that millage does not matter when it comes to pulley issues.

Hello, I have a ABS recall done and it was not done correctly and caused my van to almost go of the road, the dealer will not do anything about it and said take it somewhere else, I need help with this. E-mail copies attached: [xxx], my name is [xxx], I live in cottage grove and had our dodge caravan's ABS brakes repaired at your dealership and we have a major issue concerning the repetitive and incompetent repairs done at your facility. Chrysler's safety defect report # (96v‑099), the federal safety agency campaign id number: 96v099000 to be specific. A pdf file of this is attached for your viewing, please take the time to read this letter and then the campaign pdf completely, the odi resume dated 6-24-1996 page 39 sums it up quickly. This will help you and your service managers ability to understand the seriousness and your failure to perform the repairs correctly. An incident that could have taken the lives or cause injury to all my children, maybe another vehicle and passengers occurred. This happened on 4-1-2011, this is not a joke! My two daughter's, my son and another person riding in the van and the vehicle unexpectedly lost braking on a winding road and almost crashed. This is not the first time this brake failure was unexpected after your repairs! The repairs were not performed correctly for ABS recall 0685, the proper testing fixture's were not installed during any of the operations you provided, diagnostic and repair recommendations were grossly incorrect, technicians and service writers story's on all r.o.'s are inadequate and incorrect. I can prove all of this in a court of law, and am ready to do so if needed. If the proper testing and inspection procedure were performed it would have reviled the defective actuator piston (brake master cylinder) which causes debris in the hydraulic system and compromises sensitive electrical components that control the bendix antilock 10 braking system, this part (brake master cylinder.

Tl*the contact owns a 1992 dodge caravan. While driving less than 55 MPH, the ABS warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact depressed the brake pedal and found it to be extremely stiff. The brakes were inoperative and he eventually was able to stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal repeatedly with great force. Although there was a recall for the ABS failures (the federal safety agency campaign id number 96v099000), the dealer would not make the necessary repairs because the brake line was rusted. The repairs would not be effective unless the contact paid to have the brake line replaced at the estimated cost of $700. The failure and current mileages were 199,000.
