Dodge Caravan water leak problems

Filed Jun 25, 2011 · Body · FL

Water leaking onto the passenger floor board and carpet of our 2006 dodge caravan and in researching regarding our situation, I found that other year models that were built had an improperly installed part in the heating and cooling system causing this matter that is apparently a manufacturer issue and other year minivans had been recalled because of the risk that a water leak in the air conditioning system could trigger the airbags, risking injury to passengers. I just want the vehicle fixed properly as we had noticed a potential issue two years after the vehicle was purchased, but at the time it wasn't leaking bad, well it has gotten worse, saturating the passenger floor, when the A/C is on and in fl we utilize the air quite a bit. Please let us know where we stand, as dodge corporation is saying there's no recall on our 2006 model, but the problem is the same as what others have been reporting.

I had purchased a 2006 dodge sxt caravan,the end of sept, 2006. In feb during the snow and ice I had notice a crack in the cowl. The ice had frozen underneath and completely damaded the cowl. The dealer failed to get back to me, after a month I called they just stated they refuse to replace this saying "it was damaged due to external force" though there was no external force? This is cheap thin flexible plastic that should have not cracked completely across this cowl, now. Please help. Any water entering on the windshield does not hold from the loose molding and broken cowl around the front windshield, this is continuing to get worse. I also have a crack in the sliding glass window left side door.

I purchased my 2002 dodge caravan new. It has had several problems in the four years that I have owned it. Aside from all of the recall work, my transmission has failed twice now. The first time it failed was two months ago, the mechanic said it was a sensor problem and that it was fixed. It went out again last night while driving. Now they want to charge me another deductible to "fix" it again. My air conditioner has not worked properly in over a year, water leaks down on the passenger side floor, and cold air only comes out of the passenger side vents, the driver side vents blow out hot air. My driver side window has not worked in over a year, the interior lights go on and off at random, and the arm rest on the passenger side front seat just snapped off. The dealer is not very helpful at all.

Dt: 2002 chrysler dodge minivans are prone to leaking water into the passenger side foot well area when the air conditioner is operating. This problem has happened for the past three years, and has been fixed three times by the dealership. The consumer had to pay after the warranty ran out. The air conditioner compressor failed prematurely. The consumer has had the compressor replaced, the warranty paid for that. The compressor failed in june of 2005. The vehicle has 69,000 miles. The leaking depended on how much the air conditioner was used. *ak *sc

While visiting a family friend consumer discovered a water leak t in his caravan. This leak resulted from water running down the exterior roof grooves and down to the back of the van. It had a crack in the weld that was found on both sides of the upper portion of the van body, where the rear hatch was located. The water entered the crack and ran down the inside of the van . Also, puddles were found underneath the carpet, which results in a mild wet carpet, but even worse, rust.*ak I lifted the rear carpet in my van and there was water and the carpet pad was wet. I hadn't noticed it before because we have a plastic liner tray in the back. I believe many people have this problem but are unaware of it.

I was driving when I heard a metallic crunch and suddenly I could not turn the wheel in any direction. I managed to park.. The pulley was broken and the belt was off .fortunately I had stopped to pick up my daughter .we had to travel on I 95 s and would have been going at least 60 MPH. This was very expensive for me because we were on our way out of town for a family emergency and I had to take the only rental car which was available $277. Have my car towed $80. And pay for repairs $255..the dealer acts as thogh this is a commo occurence and something to be expected.. I have been driving for about 40 years and never had this happen I also have a water leak under the drivers mat and from the roof into the storage area in the back .they also AC like this is perfectly normal and told me I need to take it to a place that checks out leaks and pay .

Door hinges are coming loose. Front passenger's door came open while traveling. Now the door is jammed and won't open. Door is off track so when it rains, water gets in.
