I went to the store today, driving down a busy road at about 45 MPH, my drivers side vent window suddenly came loose! I looked in the rear view mirror to see what was going on, too late! It flew into opposing traffic and shattered all over the road. The glue that holds the "hinge" to the glass is barely there. Obviously, the glue did not hold to a painted surface.

Front driver window stopped working. Has been replaced twice and a whopping $330.00 each time. Passenger window is now acting up. Will roll down but not up, and sometimes won't move at all. The second time the driver side window broke, a rock from a truck ahead flew into my window and hit the back seat. Inches from my eye. This vehicle has a horrible reputation of the windows motor/regulator units.

2001 - dodge caravan - left rear tail light fell out, hanging on by wires. Took to private mechanic, said dealer had to fix. Took to dealer, stated could not reinstall, needed whole new unit for dry rotted rubber gasket. Took vehicle to home depot, bought 1 tube of black exterior silicone caulk. Drove vehicle home, and cleaned area around rear tail light. Pushed light back into place and caulked around dry rotted rubber. Taped tail light to body assembly (be careful to use tape which will not damage vehicle). Left vehicle to sit still for 24 hours as caulk dried. Made this simple repair myself for $2.86 when the dealer wanted over $500 to repair. What a rip off when they can't even make a vehicle that lasts, they have to price gouge their customers.

Dt: the caller complained about electrical system problem. He states that headlights will turn off at night without warning. The windshield wipers will shut off as well. Sometimes the headlights and windshield wipers will come back on, and sometimes they won't come on at all. Also, the horn blows, and the dashboard lights will be on, and the automatic headlights will not shut off when the vehicle is turned off. Dealer said they do not know what the problem is. Another dealer replaced the body control module. Manufacturer said to continue to work with dealer.

Passenger window will not work properly - sometimes goes down slowly and has to be pulled back up, sometimes won't go up at all. No parts available from manufacturer - back order of at least 2 weeks for a new window motor and relay, due to the high volume of failures!!!
