After raining and freezing overnight, I got into my 2005 dodge caravan to go to work. I attempted to move down the drivers side window with the power window down switch. The window was frozen in place. After trying to get the window down 3 or 4 more times. I gave up and went onto work. When I came out from work to go home the window was completely down. I tried to use the power window up button and it would not raise. Took it to a dodge dealer and they replaced the entire window raising/lowering mechanism at a cost of over $400.00. Sent complaint to chrysler and they did not even write me back. Do not try to lower a window in a dodge caravan as the mechanish is weak, mis-designed and flimsy.
